dude, I do get what your saying that yes it is our money and our money should stay with our schools but if your district is below poverty level you still will have programs cut because all those programs cost a hell of a lot of money. Money that people can not afford to pay. Everybody want's this or that but if our FEDERAL GOVERMENT is not going to help and pay for it then we have to cut some programs at school. The thing is that our fed's forgot that the main reason we fought the revolution is because King George wanted our money and not give back in return. Well that is how I feel at what our government is doing to us. We all better get use to cutting some or lot's of the programs we got use to.

I'm okay with the cuts. Nothing you have said changes that.

You would be going in the wrong direction with that choice. Wrong direction?? That choice?? Neither answers the query posed. Who and what? he was a coach at sandusky, program spun in circles. you decide

... The challenge is to hire a good teacher and also a good coach. It's easier said than done sometimes. And to not have that teacher coach for 2-3 years and do nothing after that.

What I'm not sure about is if it will be opened up for applicants or a target is already in mind. FWIW there has been shifting around going on in the Middle School and Jhigh with regards to teaching positions for 2017-18 for a month or better, which leads me to think the decision was made awhile ago---but that's just my opinion. There's at least 4 teaching positions that will need filled for the next school year. I could see 2 of these 4 being hoops coaches and the other two being football assistants in some capacity. That again is speculation on my part, but I'm thinking the goal is to have a teacher being in a coaching spot. The challenge is to hire a good teacher and also a good coach. It's easier said than done sometimes. The real challenge is for the ones doing the hiring of teachers, is to take into consideration if they can also coach a sport in need. Often they hire THE best teacher applying, instead hiring a lesser teacher that can also coach. Which is more important?

Coach = Teacher + Knowledge of the sport
If someone is really good at one they'll be really good at the other as long as they know the game.

There are teachers that coach and coaches that teach. They are not the same. Don't sacrifice academics, in any way, to win in a sport. JMO

Dude, I couldn't agree more. You never sacrifice academics for a sport. However, the Willard Board of Education tends to do as they damn well please rather than what the community wants.

Often they hire THE best teacher applying, instead hiring a lesser teacher that can also coach. Which is more important? Fully agree with which one is more important. However we all know coaches who were hired to do both jobs and then "were let go" or "stepped back" from coaching, but continue to teach at a sub-par level until retirement two decades later. People often coach to get a foot in the door and provide additional value to the school, and then stop doing so a few years later without improving as an educator. By this point, it's almost impossible for a school to get rid of said individual. I'd also state that a quality/program-changing coach (whether they teach or not) influences young adults just as much, if not more, than a teacher. I fully acknowledge that someone who does either exceptionally well is extremely hard to find.

If the community wants them out they will be. Easy to say but honestly a good portion of the community doesn't care. The ones that care about hs sports make up a small % of voters. Most go to the booth and vote in the same names they've recognized for years, the board will stay the same till they quit.

Board members in Ohio are elected for four years and there are no term limits for school boards.
Scarlet is correct, most voters for the same names over and over until the member quits. Thus, the board member votes as they please.

I wouldn't say it's a giant problem not everybody cares about high school sports as much as the few members of this group do. Most people that do care are temporary as their children pass through the hallways but as soon as the kids graduate they could not care less.

Most people that do care are temporary as their children pass through the hallways but as soon as the kids graduate they could not care less. I didn't see it as a problem either. But I also did not make a statement about a school board not doing what the community wants. Mar 22, 2017 at 11:12am Observer said:

There is a person in Willard who said this to coach Haas out in public and quote "I put my application in for the HS boys basketball head coach". Coach Haas wished this man and former player under him good luck and this mans response was "I have a coaching staff put together that is better than any of yours". Thanks Health Polachek for looking like a total douche nozzle and embarrassing yourself.

There is no respect for the individuals in charge or who have been in charge and the mentality is that anyone can do the job. I hope this guy gets the position and gets to showcase his son, as I remember that name on a roster. I remember ready his name in the article about the school board meeting pointing out some of Coach Long's failures.

Sounds like there's a threat to transfer his kid if he isn't given the job. Is it the same with the great coaching staff he's assembled?

Willard won't be missing anything if this guys kids transfer. Would be a blessing so the BOE and school doesn't have to deal with Heath. If they would hire him, Willard BB program will never recover.

I would imagine there will be some kids say they will not play if a Dad is the coach.

Did anyone ever hear what the vote was for Long? I get that he will not be back but I never read what the vote was.

In reading the article I could understand the tone of the meeting but I wondered if their was actually a vote. I did not read in any of the articles I saw any mention of a vote outcome.
