I don't want to talk about anyone in a negative light, but JohnnyCakes, I know who you are talking about and that would never happen. This person you say that is clear as a bell has too much baggage, no middle school or high school experience in coaching (and please don't say look what he has done when he was with Pop Warner because it is not the same). Now I will say that he may be ok at the freshman level to start. Get some experience and go to a position coach. But then you still have the baggage issues and those are following him around like flies on you know what. I have never had issues with this person, but as you say yourself, I can't see them playing nice together. Just a very polarizing person for many in this town for whatever the reason.
What I do find strange is Your Screen Name, who was also a character on the Sopranos HBO Show and ironically what this clear as a bell person got into a situation with “allegedly” making comments to others about.
LOL...C'mon, I can't believe we would even consider this person as "an obvious choice." If anybody
is not the "obvious choice" to be coaching at the HS, it would be this guy. Like "backwoods" has stated...WAY, WAY, WAY, to much baggage!!! I was a cheer mom in Pop Warner when he "screwed" over a number of MC Pop Warner boys. Believe me, these parents are not about to "bury the hatchet." They are not willing to "play nice" after he left our kids high and dry with no where to play football. Parents remember these things... I believe his history tells a story. I have one nephew that will play on the varsity and 2 nephews that will probably be on JV next year. I can guarantee you a number of kids would not participate in football if he was their coach. There is also a number of parents that would not want this "man" (?) coaching their kids. My daughters are not in the MCAS system but I keep in touch with a number of former "cheer moms." I have talked with them about this very issue a number of times. No way do they want him around their kids. I am also told by parents how he and his wife are always at the MCHS trying to finagle their way into things. I would think that the MCAS school system and school board would be very reluctant to hire him as well for fear of legal issues. I don't want to talk about anybody in a negative light as well, but surely there are some HS coaches or assistant HS coaches that would love to have the opportunity to coach in the DAC. I don't believe we really need to stoop to this level. The original thread I believe was who will be the new AD. Whoever said Karpinski will not be coaching for MC next year?
