Head Football Positions

I guess I assumed he was in line for the Lourdes job (former Lourdes assistant and current boys basketball coach)

I think he is from Blue Hill though. Closer to home maybe?

Yes, he is from Blue Hill and he still has family in the area.

I think he is a St. Cecilia grad, so maybe being back in the tri-city area was a priority?

 

[SoonerTimmy]

Coach Tomlin was a phenomenal coach and leader.

Tomlin is another version of Jay Ball. When Ball was at South, he beat Creighton Prep one year with only like 30 kids dressed out.

I think Deshler might be filled...

I believe it is and means another place will open soon.

Hayden Delano from Wayne. Which means Wayne will now be open.

How long has Norris been open? That's been a while.

They announced it publicly on January 7th. I'm betting they have had A LOT of qualified applicants apply for that job.

So where’s the deshler coach going, I thought he had just left giltner for deshler last year?

 

[neksu]

Wayne to Deshler is an interesting move.

Jr/Sr High Social Studies Teacher – NDE Teach In Nebraska

Looks like Arcadia-Loup City is open

 

[GoSkers3]

Wayne to Deshler is an interesting move.

I suppose it would determine what the situation was. Everyone thinks that just because someone is moving down classes that it's a bad move....but maybe it's the best move for that coach/teacher and their family. I would need to know the situation before making that assumption.

outsider perspective, Wayne looks like it’s been lacking the horses to compete in that area of the state the last few years. C1/C2 football in northeast Nebraska has been a meat grinder. And when you’re trying to get a program rolling, it’s tough to gain momentum when you’re playing Norfolk Catholic, Scotus, Cedar Cafholic, Pierce, etc. Not sure what the situation is like, but seems like they lack depth to compete. For a guy that was pretty successful in 8man, it may have been a shot to the ego and he’d feel more comfortable trying to help turn around Deshler.

IMO Wayne is in a tough spot with their schedule and lack of tradition. They've always been a basketball/baseball school first. Not sure what it will take to get that mindset to change.

 

[northeastNebraska]

Cozad open.

That is a good job. Interesting.

Good for him! He is a great coach, love the Haymakers.

WAYNE is close to moving into class B, they don't have the talent to compete in football at that class imo. just not enough athletes to compete at that level.

They will be B in boys basketball next year. Next two-year cycle for football could be B as well.

I wonder if they project out being B, if they’ll eventually absorb Winside.

It’ll be interesting to see who they schedule in B in hoops. Right now the only B team they play is Wahoo. It’ll also be interesting to see if they end up in B for football. Closest opponent would be Blair?

The play DC West who is B. They could pick up S Sioux, Schuyler, Blair, not a lot of other close B schools for sure.

Lakeview is in the same "fringe" C1/B gray area....depending on the year that'd be an option too. I assume they look to see if SSC and maybe even Norfolk would want to play (or Columbus High). Other than that you are looking at Seward, York, Ralston (assuming you try to avoid scheduling too much of the Elkhorns, Gretnas, Benningtons, and Skutts of the class).

I see Wayne picking up more option kids out of Wakefield in the short term than getting anything from Winside. I also think Wayne is at a bit of a capacity issue as it is, and probably don't have a ton of room for option kids anyway.

I’ll be pretty surprised if Lakeview isn’t B in everything by 2030.

 

[nenebskers]

There could be a lot of movement in the next football cycle. Bennington, Gretna East, Lincoln Northwest, Lincoln Standing Bear, and Elkhorn North will likely be class A. If you look at the most recent enrollment figures from the state Scottsbluff may be as well. Gretna is close but probably still B for the next cycle.

 

[hailvictors2]

Wayne is 25 male students away from class B in football (135 enrollment number for basketball this year. They won't be B in football for several cycles unless something changes in the classification process.

Yep. Mount Michael, DC West, Ashland-Greenwood, and Omaha Concordia are the next likely to grow to B. Maybe someday Lakeview, Adam's Central, or Wahoo. It's just so hard for any non metro school to have sustained growth. Of course always have the Aurora, Gross, Roncalli, types that teeter back and forth. Also years away but maybe Louisville, Fort Calhoun, or Lincoln Christian at some point too.

I thought the intent of Standing Bear and LNW was to always keep those schools at Class B level?

I thought the same, which is why they joined the Eastern Midlands Conference instead of the HAC
