Hearing he might have some pretty dang good assistants coming too. Wonder who gets the Blue Springs job??

This comes as no surprise.

The line of fresh recruits outside his door will wrap around the corner to the entrance of the school. :D
 
I haven't heard names for assistants, but keep in mind that Dustin Delaney's wife is currently teaching at Rockhurst.....

Yep, that Dustin Delaney.
 
Tom Kruse???

I don't know man, seems like he was a pretty significant part of those ridiculously good Hutchinson teams. And he did take an inferior Shawnee Mission East program to the top in KS.

And he was on the short list of candidates for the head coaching position at Rockhurst. So he must have something going for him...

Why would he go there to be an assistant? He could get a good head coaching job, like maybe at Blue Springs. But if none are open I suppose he could go there.

Very true. People are speculating that there will be "shock" with who joins Donohoe on the Rockhurst staff. I'm just throwing Delaney's name out there as a potential candidate. I'm sure you guys know more than I do in this instance.

The names being thrown around are Kruse from Ray Pec and Oder from BSS. I'm not sure why anyone will be shocked, but it will be a loaded staff with a lot of experience and wins.

Where has Delaney been coaching since he left SME a few seasons ago?
 
This just in: Greg Jones hired as special assistant. 15 players from Liberty North, including blue chip D1 recruit Sophomore recruit Sam VanDyne to ROck..



Kidding.

I believe I would keep this guy as far from my district and program as possible. I know several coaches in smaller districts who not only coach but clean the weight room (usually with a lot of help from the team), take care of practice and game fields, watched one coach repair a toilet while the team was dressing for practice. If you care that much you don't walk out on them, roll up your sleeves and get things done. Bitching and moaning to administration is not getting things done.

Fred Bouchard left too. I think it may be a little deeper than we know. I am happy that Kelly D has beaten cancer, retired from MO. Then gets to pick a new staff doing what he obviously loves. Go Rock.
 
So Kruse, as AD, is going to hire someone he will be competing against next year?

He likely won't be involved in the decision if it's finalized that he'll be going to Rock. It'll probably be a team of head coaches in the building, returning assistants, and a building administrator.
 
This was never brought up, but do you think the potential of Blue Springs adding a new high school in the next few years, and watering down some of his talent contributed to his decision to move on to Rockhurst?
