Open Jobs

Fairland job is posted on OHSAA. From what I heard it probably will not be Fuller. Just a rumor.

I heard the same thing.

Looks like they have ventured away from the probable successor. Have they reached out to anyone? Would be a great job to have I would think.

I was told they reached out to two. One they can’t afford but would do a great job. Local coach currently. The other is a coach from WV that would do well. Big shoes to fill whoever gets that job.

I’d say the talent level maybe cycling down some. Fairland has traditionally had home grown boys coaches. We’ll see.

Can't afford? Unless they don't have a job for them I don't see why they couldn't find a way to get them to come. The tradition is there so now I guess it would be up to whoever is in charge to try and make it work.

I say they can "afford" whoever they want. I have heard of a couple names other than Blaine , both will keep the Dragons in good shape

I would agree with you. I don't know the one from WV but the other one has the drive and desire to be great. I believe he would continue on with the tradition that has been built already. Like I said before, the tradition is there. Just have to get someone to continue to build off of it.

... I thought PV had already hired from "within"? Did that fall through? or did I hear wrong?

If they did, then I have not heard who it is yet. But maybe they have.

Did Lockery step away or was he non renewed?

Very tough job to say the least! Whomever takes this job has their hands full with very little to work with. We couldn’t really compete with mediocre talent the past several years so this is a tough job for sure.

I agree. He would do a great job. Has nothing to do with affordability. Just need to find him a position at the school. He would do great at Fairland.

Congratulations to the new Head Coach at Fairfield Union - Coach John Helber ... Coach Helber was 5 years the head coach at Logan High School, has served successfully in the FU system as the freshmen coach, jv, varsity assistant since 2015 ... makes sense to hire an "in-house" coach who knows the players, knows the parents, knows the system that has been successful ... FU has an excellent group of young players returning this season ... looking forward to covering the Falcons this coming season !

... beginning of May? late in the game to announce Coach Shoe to be stepping down, especially if you are planning to get an out of system coach ... but they could very well already have THE guy in house and can hit the ground running before the summer season at the end of May and June starts ...

I am wanting to say the banquet was very recent and with the Falcons reaching the final four along with all star games could have taken Shoe some time to process everything.
