No Boone or Curtis this time!! 😀 I'm guessing that it will be a first-time guy looking for his first HC job. Seems like a great place to start a resume.

What was your first clue? Just trying to get this job out from under the Buckeye feed. Maybe some young guys aspiring to be a HC check the feed headlines. It was a captain obvious start of a thread...just giving it it's own thread.

It was a captain obvious start of a thread...just giving it it's own thread. It's all good. I was just giving you a hard time and having some fun. You are correct, it needed it's own thread. It was buried on Page 8 or 9 in the Buckeye thread. I think that the job may attract a handful of good applicants. Possibly a seasoned guy or two that is close to retirement or that has just simply had enough of the public school circus. It will all come down to money, of course, and the fact that there is no retirement or insurance in a private school as far as I know. Maybe the young guy at Natchitoches Central that was DC this past year. Maybe one of the coaches that went to Red River or Many this past year.

The problem is the sheer amount of paycut for and experienced coach. This is 20,000 less per year than most parishes.

Private schools have a lot of room to negotiate salaries when it comes to head coaches, depending on school finances. Coaches are not paid like regular private school teachers.

Small privates like St. Mary's are always gonna be a quick stop for a young coach wanting to boost his resume or an older retired coach looking to just keep coaching because he loves it. Just has a track record of a solid program and even though some posters on other feeds claim the cupboard is bare... they always seem to find a way to put a competitive team on the field.
Maybe get Stan Humphries back... He was OC there at one time I think.

They do put out some decent squads even with all the turnover. I'm not sure if they still do but they used to have a really good backing with money. They missed out on a really good coach, id say about 5 or so years ago. They chose someone else...

Safe to say he declined Yeah, definitely not a cash in for huge salary place, but seems to be a great place to get early experience and log some quality wins for a resume in all sports.

But not because of Jess in my opinion. That been been going on for years (sans Many of course). Just the allure of 5A NC over the smaller schools of the parish. Bigger fish want a bigger pond unfortunately.

More kids leave Natchitoches Central to go to St Mary's than leave St Mary's to go to Natchitoches Central has been the going trend over the years. Other than the Cryer kid moving from Many to Natchitoches Central with his dad and then the Smith kid transferring from Calvary, I doubt Natchitoches Central picked up a single additional kid other than students already at the school who weren't playing football already. I would also venture a guess that more kids leave Natchitoches Central to go to Lakeview than leave Lakeview to go to Natchitoches Central.
St Mary's is a 1A school. Regardless of how competitive they are, most of those kids and their parents know that their odds of starting and especially of being a star would go way down at a 5A school playing other 5A schools every week. Even at a very mediocre 5A football school. Kids at Lakeview don't care about football and they are highly competitive in basketball just like Natchitoches Central so there's no need to go there.

Hey... Isn't Tom O'Kelley still out there in the rafters? Some say if you listen hard enough, you'll hear a dirt bike and someone screaming at a kid to run it inside, not outside.

Natchitoches Central and St. Mary's have had some quality kids come through their programs and some went on to next level. Just need to get more emphasis on football in the younger ages to return to success. Lakeview yes seems to not care about football much as other sports, but Natchitoches Central and St. Mary's seem to put in more effort for football. Hopefully Coach Laird keeps what Coach Curtis started at Natchitoches Central and St. Mary's can find someone to keep the success they have had for many years in the football program.

" Hopefully Coach Laird keeps what Coach Curtis started at Natchitoches Central "
Which would be what?
They were 2-8. Finished next to last in a middling district when compared to other 5A districts in the state. They had an All-State LSU signee offensive lineman move in and a very high caliber QB move in and still went 2-8. Had a 2,000 yard passer, a 1,000 yard receiver and a 1,000 yard running back and still went 2-8. Five of the 10 teams on their schedule finished 5-5 or worse and they still went 2-8.
Please don't saddle Coach Laird with the false progress of the recently departed coach and staff as his bar to reach in his first year there. It's unfair to him. I would bet that by the time August gets here not a single coach from this past season will even be coaching at NC. Your statement is very misleading. Let Coach Laird put his own stamp on things. There should be no expectations of him based on last football season.

There should be no expectations of him based on last football season. Just seeing that four of their losses were within a touchdown and 2 came in the last minute of the game. They have lots of potential to keep turning it around. Just trying to be positive and not tear down the program.
