Rumor has it the South Central Football coach resigned this morning. Kind of late to the game in finding a good replacement. Has anyone else heard this?

Still no head coach at South Central.

Haven't seen Word One when it comes to reporting this in any of the local news outlets. Even if there wasn't a scandal, coverup, or a spat involved, the Reflector of the Ashland T-G would at least have had a blurb somewhere about Hinkle either stepping down (and the board officially accepting his resignation) or being non-renewed (also an official, public BOE action). Methinks this rumor is just another nothingburger.

The board would have had to accept his resignation first. This would have been a public act - if no reporter from local news outlets actually covered the board mtg. at which the resignation was announced/accepted, the board would have likely released it to the papers, at least the Reflector, for the purposes of getting the word out to potential replacements. If there were something fishy - which I'm not saying there isn't - one would think that either Hinkle and/or the BOE would still announce it, but cook up some lie to cover themselves, whether they were on the same side or facing off against one another.
I'm not trying to suggest you're lying - my family is all teachers, including me, and we know better than most that the BOEs of public schools these days have become shady as shite. It just seems to me like an odd way to go about it, if it's indeed the case. You'd think they'd definitely want to shop the job around.
You say Hinkle stepped down, and I'm guessing you trust your source. One way to find out what happened is to contact the Reflector. Tandem Media's print entities LOVE juicy scandals, especially involving local schools; people love a juicy story about their local schools and will drive hard copy sales and clicks if it's sufficiently interesting (read: "divisive"). Pressure the Reflector to interrogate SC about it. If you don't want to get a certain mustachioed "goofball" (nicest thing I can think of) involved, which is always a good idea, then write to the school yourself. I'm actually going to take a gander at their Twitter feed and see what I will see. I looked on the district website under Employment, didn't find it. That doesn't mean it wasn't there at one point. Good luck.

On a side note, just realized that we're censored on here, where our poetry in profanity is replaced with words more suitable for childrens' tender eyes.
Really? *** for bum bum? Is Old Man Jenkins from down the street a mod?

There seems to be a lot of confusion here. Here's what MAY have happened: Coach Hinkle retired as high school principal a year or two ago, but retained his coaching job. Since he's no longer a full time employee of the school district, his coaching contract is automatically non-renewed each year. No retirement announcement or acceptance is required in theses cases, although it does happen. If the Board of Education wants him back to coach, it's standard practice to renew it.
I say all of this, as a former board member in a neighboring district.

Appreciate the clarification, Scott. On a related note, what in the hell is going on on Greenwich-Angling these days? It looks like the monkeys are running the banana plantation.

Thanks greenman...I'm not saying that's what's happened, but it would explain things. As to your other question, I can't answer that. I now live two hours away from Huron County. Lol! |

Every coaching contract is a single year and get renewed in the off season. Their is no requirement for a public announcement. IF their is a candidate inside the district that is qualified, a coach could resign and another hired without anyone outside of the schools employment knowing about it.

I live in the district. It has been an interesting few years over here in large part due to the hire of the current superintendent. It has become quite clear to most people that they made a bad hire. Board members aren't willing to admit it unfortunately and I can't speak to the legalities of relieving a public school employ of their duties. As for the principal wrestling kids in the hallways, probably being a bit overblown, still poor judgment by the principal. Teachers are becoming fed up with the current administration as it sits, that information reaches the community, and you have what you have going on now.

As for the hallway incident, it bothers me as a teacher that people in the community are brushing this off as a nothingburger. He's an adult in charge of a high school wrestling a minor in that very school's hallway. I agree that the no-touching-at-all culture goes a little too far among people in a community that work with each other for so long each and every day, especially where you have teacher-mentor/student relationships flourishing. A touch on the shoulder every once in a great while, a high-five, a pat on the back, even a hug when really necessary: wrestling in the halls is the ridiculous, unnecessary extreme - that's not bonding, that's "using the pushover principal as a doormat." It sounds like this principal is a big kid, desperate to be liked when he should in fact be working between relationships of respect between himself, the parents, and their students.
It's a display of complete disrespect, and no principal worth his necktie would stand for it ever. That's just my take, though.

I know it hasn't been in any papers yet, but Hinkle is no longer the HC at South Central. He will be replaced by last year's OC, Cory Fickheisen (sp?)

I started believing you, sportsfan, when Scott joined the thread. Any hope for progress in G-wich with this new BMIC?

They had a real opportunity to make great strides to build a program but the powers that be decided they had to hire the "best educator." I assume this mean another person who works 8-2 and goes home, having no real impact on the school district. |

I hope that's not how you feel about all of us that don't believe we have the skill or knowledge set to coach a sport alongside our teaching job. |

Just a bad situation in the SC district right now and that starts at the very top. |
