St Laurence

[Noelbax]

Surprised St Laurence hasn’t hired someone yet. Who do you think it is?

 

[Secondo1]

2 questions—-
Is there a current successful HC that would leave where they are for Larry?
Is there a retired successful HC whom would come back to take the job?
How good a job is this?
Oops thats 3!!

I had always thought that if Lenti would coach again, St Larry would be the place

I wonder why he has not committed

Are you serious? He's like 75. You don't take over High School programs at 75. Before you bring up older professional coaches their job comes with a lot more resources at their disposal and 8 more zeros in their pay checks.

 

[StL_Alum]

Definitely not Coach Frank. I have heard a few rumors but nothing reliable. I think we will know more in the coming weeks. Time will tell.

 

[mullin17]

Frank Jr an option?

 

[sac'em]

Is this the high school equivalent of the Dallas Cowboys job? Is the new HC going to be able to make any meaningful decisions?

Honest question: What meaningful decisions were any previous StL coaches not allowed to make? And if they weren’t making decisions, who was?

Admin/Lenti/Alumni. Best win % since the mid 80's when St. L was more of a dominant private school. State runner up in 2023-24 then Qtr Final appearance in 2024-25. Why was Nissen not hired back?

Couldn't win it when they had a huge enrollment advantage due to stupid IHSA policy? Now they will not have that advantage.

Rumor mill really heating up. I think an announcement will be coming down in the next week or so. Latest name I have heard is one that has not been mentioned here but will definitely make a splash among the south side Catholics.

 

[ssczar76]

Worst kept secret on the southside. Has the name recognition and NFL career behind it, but can he coach?

Been coaching at his HS Alma Mater for a few years. I think Bill Belichick might be able to give him a few pointers....he'll be fine. ND and Patriots is a good enough resume

ND and Patriots?! Larry got Charlie Weiss

 

[McCaravan]

He applied, Laurence passed

 

[McCaravan]

Any word on where Nissen is landing?

 

[StL_Alum]

Not yet. I had heard HF early on but that obviously didn’t happen. He will land somewhere. Wish him the best. Had nothing but positive interaction with him in my limited contact.

Recruiting is the name of the game in the CCL and I would think he can do that.

Wow. The water cooler crew had it etched in stone.

Can you just say who it is

 

[Secondo1]

Agree. Who is it?

 

[Secondo1]

Zorich?

 

[AmbroseBlack]

Zorich?

He didn't play for New England. I am not sure if he is coaching at CVS, but I have not heard that.

 

[McCaravan]

Agree. Who is it?

I know I'm a Detective guys but this is a layup if you follow HS Football, Catholic League Football, especially South Side, this is a easy one. Hard clues given, currently coaches at Alma Mater, played for ND and Patriots....

Does his name rhyme with Various Lemming?

You're cooking with Crisco now! 😀

See Ambrose's post below yours. He's a Rita, ND, NE guy.

 

[StL_Alum]

All still rumors at this point.

Yeah, took about 15 minutes. Find Patriots all time roster, search for Notre Dame. That's about 30 names. Only about 20 are alive and below about 75 y/o. 3 or 4 of that are from the Chicago area. Quick google search of each name and what do you know, one of them hits with an article about him going back to coach at his alma mater.

That's one way, yes

 

[Secondo1]

I guess it’s taboo to just put the name out there? Heaven forbid on their Board we actually use a name!😂

 

[mc140]

I'm not sure why people cant say Darius Fleming,

[RichieRebel]

why would anyone want this job? Fire a coach a year after a state title appearance. Fired the previous coach that was successful. There’s a pattern and unless I don’t have all of the information it doesn’t seem like a coach problem.

It's the off season. The other way was more entertaining

You are right. You don’t have all the information.
