Newport open

[The Ref]

Who will be the top candidates for this job? Spring ball right around the corner. With NPT dropping down to 3A, this should be a very attractive job.

[Infamous]

I'm a lifelong Greyhound fan and alum, and as much as I want to kid myself and say it's still a good job, it isn't. There's a reason Harrison left. The majority of his better players were in the past two classes, and with no reserves waiting in the junior high wings, he saw the writing on the wall. He knew it was time to get out of
dodge while he still had an opportunity.

As far as who they take, I say they strike out on several higher-graded candidates and they eventually tap defensive coordinator Mark Hindsley for the job.

[HeberFan]

Newport drops down to 3A this fall or next fall ?

[phdefense]

Next fall

[HeberFan]

Oh well, guess that leaves Heber and the rest of the 2-4A trying to gang tackle Carl again. That won't be fun!

[Missco]

Newport is still a better job than a lot of places.

[Razorhummer]

As long as they can get someone in there that is from Newport or lives around the area that is willing to stay that would be alright with me. Ever since coach Keedy retired we've went through 7 coaches, well actually 8 when they hired Chris Hill and then decided not to take the job shortly after.

[Loyalfan1]

I gotta think this is still a good job.  Stability is a must though.

On the AAEA job board the job description says that the person hired must live in the Newport School District.  I don't think I've ever seen that in a job description before.  I'm sure some say that, just not any that I have seen before.

Why?

[beach bum]

No coach should be required to live in the town they coach.... lets say in theory an assistant for Russellville has owned a house in Russellville for 12 years and is 3 years away from paying his house off. He then takes a head coaching job at Paris which is about 40 miles away. Nobody deserves to be forced to sell their home they worked their entire life for. There is a coach I knew who drove from Fayetteville to Hackett. This coach is still in the River Valley with his home in Fayetteville. The guy was completely dedicated when he coached me. He was the first employee to school everyday! He would be reading the newspaper after already jogging as we came in for our 6:30 a.m. lifting session. The guy had incredible dedication to our program. Coaches went to school for 4 or 5 years and show up everyday to work. They deserve to live wherever they want.

Curious to know the rationale behind this comment.  If Bielema buys a house in Springdale, Bentonville or Rogers, would he not be fit to be the HC at AR?

Totally disagree on this one, particularly in smaller schools.
For example, what's wrong with a coach at Mayflower living in Conway, where there's a lot more shopping and closer to places like a doctor's office or a hospital? What if his wife worked in Conway? I know I would much rather travel the longer distance to work than make my wife do it.

[whippersnapper]

The right choice is to hire Hindsley. He has worked his way up from Jr high to sr high assistant and then to DC. Has been there a while. He will also do right by the kids and won't have to change the offense.

just my opinion but hard to have school pride when it's not a good enough place for you to live as a coach. can you imagine the warren fans if bo decided since the shopping was better he was going to live in monticello?

If it didn't negatively affect his job performance & Warren continued to be successful, I don't understand how it could be a problem.  Where a man lays his head down at night shouldn't be that important IMO.

Shopping is better. Haha. You've been reading Monticello live too much.

[OB11]

People move and relocate all the time for jobs, but I just don't know that a school district should force someone to live within the district.  Especially if it doesn't impact his job performance.

On the flip side of that, I do understand that a coach (especially the head football coach) is the face of the school to not only the community but to the rest of the state.  I can see a district wanting the coach to live in the district.  I just thought it was interesting that it was actually stated in the job posting.
