Robbie Gould steps down from HC at Rolling Meadows

Seemed like he was moving on to another opportunity from DH article, whether it was college etc I have no clue. He lives in NW burbs, that was a reason he took the RM job.
That sucks if so. I can understand things change, and if he was stepping away from coaching altogether that would be one thing, but one and done is whiplash levels quick.
Worst kept secret in the NW burbs. Rumor has it he is taking a NW burbs private school job and is taking another MSL East head coach with him. This is not good news for schools in the MSL. The draw to a local private school in the area with these guys coaching is going to be huge.
Yes agree. I’ve always felt that viator was a sleeping giant. Lots of $$$ in the nw burbs, lots of parents who have the resources within a 15-30 minute drive. I do feel that it’s hard to justify the money for tuition since the public schools in the area are so good. This could hit Fremd hard IMO with the Inverness crowd.
I know they already draw the top lacrosse kids in the area, these moves may put them over the edge to finally get the great football kids to attend.
To be completely honest though, Viator doesn’t have a great reputation, not coming from me but from parents who I know who thought about sending their kids there. Questions about character with the students. I don’t know if you heard about the parent who recently had a physical altercation with multiple students in the parking lot before school started for the day. That’s not a rumor either. Video was everywhere. That was insane!
Perhaps they should put a multiplier on hiring a coach where the privates have to pay into a slush fund so ill prepared public coaches can get the training the successful public school coaches employee!
Many good football players in the area too, they just mostly end up in the MSL East. My boys play in the Prospect feeder program, and it is an outstanding football program starting with flag for 4 year olds. Hopefully Robbie could lure kids out of the local feeder programs to Viator.
My daughter goes to Viator and we have nothing but positive things to say, and she loves it there. She has a lot of really nice/polite friends and the volleyball/basketball parents are a good group. I saw the video of the fight, and it was pretty wild. There's bad apples in every bunch though.
