Joliet Central Hires Fred Gandy as HC

Good hire for the Steelmen! It'll be interesting how he shakes things up, coming off their best record since 2006.

Tell us about Fred.

He was on staff few years ago. My son said he was liked by all the players, so could be good at getting more athletes out. The few conversations I've had with him gives me the vibes of an old school approach to things. Seemed like a straight shooter, which is why I think this is a good hire for these athletes. Played at St. Rita I believe.

My younger cousin was on that team that broke the streak by beating Plainfield C a few years back. I assume Fred was on the staff then. Hope he's a long timer, they would benefit from the stability especially after a year like last year. They gotta be able to stack seasons like that to keep the momentum.

First thing that went through my mind was that they hired Gopher from the Love Boat - but I assume a different Fred Gandy

Nice one. You stole my thunder. That’s Fred Grandy but close enough.

darn you are right - just googled it - it is GRandy - I was going by my old memory -- which has failed me again!

I think he was an assistant under Brett Boyter at Joliet Central so that would mean continuity in the program. Best wishes to Coach Gandy! (except vs. Joliet West)
