Keeping the numbers up at the lower levels (upper, too?) is a challenge perhaps not faced so severely in the past, which makes an already-tough job even tougher. A head coach could somewhat rely on the freshman and sophomore teams being annual repopulated with decent numbers from the area youth programs. Generally speaking, these annual pipelines up to the varsity are trending downward.It gets harder and harder every year to fill these jobs with people that last more than a few seasons.

Whitney Young is filled now. Assistant coach from Phillips and Young alum/Princeton graduate Chris Mallette.

The last part of your statement reaffirms that if you have a successful program you hire from within, if not a completely new staff. In my opinion this is especially true with a private school. If kids are coming there because they are successful, why would you want to try to fix an unbroken wheel! Enrollment no matter how you get is the lifeblood of a private school!Year after year, keeping these spots filled is a challenge because the new coach finds a staff that is tough to fill with experienced guys, apathetic parent base, low budget and disinterested student body. If they can get any positive mojo going, they look for a better gig. Others on that list are just flat out coaching graveyards. Now add all the negative news day after day about football injuries, etc. low numbers from a variety of reasons. No surprise that it is 36 and counting. Plus another thing among the coaching world these days. A lot of new young coaches seem to want to surround themselves with a staff of young "yes" guys. In the old days a newer coach would want some older coaches who have seen a lot and been through the battles for that experience on the staff. Those coaches tended to build a solid staff that resulted in program success for the long haul. Curious to what others think?
Hear that the Curie job is now open. That will be a solid CPS job to have
Yes and no to the age of coaches being brought in. Some coaches (both old and new) are stuck in their whether they are right or wrong. This undermines the head coach, which causes confusion among the kids. I hate to use this word usually, but it really is about synergy with the coaching staff. Personally, I would want a good mix of both old and new, but it depends what is available in building as well. Especially if you are a young coach and get the job over those older guys.

Lots of schools are staying in house as well. How does one even get a head coaching job at a public high school (or even catholic for that matter). It costs $65k - $80k a year to bring in a new guy plus insurance and benefits.
Schools aren't going outside of the district/ school to find a good solid candidate. They're hiring from within, which means unless you're at the schools that fires their head coach, or has one resign you're not even in the running.
Lots of good young coaches out there getting passed over.
Bret Kooi actually does teach at Lemont and such has been the case ever since his hiring. During his couple years at LWNorth before getting the Lemont job, he was still at Lockport then, however.In your Lemont example Kooi still teaches at Lockport and inherited virtually the entire staff.

I believe it was Coach Thorp from Milford.Current Tinley Park head baseball coach Josh O'Shea will also be the head football coach for the Titans. Josh is a 1998 Bremen grad..I can't remember the last time someone was a head football and baseball coach at a school up in the Chicago area..
I know Coach Paul Parpet Sr. was the HC of football and baseball at Addison Trail High School.Current Tinley Park head baseball coach Josh O'Shea will also be the head football coach for the Titans. Josh is a 1998 Bremen grad..I can't remember the last time someone was a head football and baseball coach at a school up in the Chicago area..
Back in the early '80s through early '90s, Jerry Munda of TF North held both positions. He acquired the head football job after Mike Tomczak's (Ohio State, Bears) father, Ron, left that position.Current Tinley Park head baseball coach Josh O'Shea will also be the head football coach for the Titans. Josh is a 1998 Bremen grad..I can't remember the last time someone was a head football and baseball coach at a school up in the Chicago area..
No shock that another D230 hire comes from the inside. The teaching contract/salary schedule does not allow for out-of-district experience to be applied to pay/seniority placement. Upon tracking such hires at Stagg, Sandburg and Andrew over recent decades, the only non-D230 hires are from lower-compensated situations like private schools, under-paying public districts or less-experienced teacher-coaches not too far up the salary schedule ladder.Stagg has named Brian Berg, a 2001 graduate of Andrew, as it's new head football coach. Berg has spent the last three years as the Offensive Coordinator for the Chargers. Brian is currently on staff at Stagg as a Social Science teacher..*information per Stagg athletic web site
