Sad sad couple of good programs not fair to the kids. It ain't about the kids. It's about the money. Not having coaches mean you don't have to pay a coach until school starts. Why do you think they waited until after Memorial day to hire head coaches

Why do you think they waited until after Memorial day to hire head coaches If that is how their school district operates, it would be significantly different than most (really any) I am familiar with. In most school districts, the coaches would start getting paid for their positions on the first pay day of the new school year. Not when they were announced. Some may receive a summer supplement for off season / "two a day" practices but in most school districts, the compensation structure is not like other situations.

What is being said is that no one wants to work at Delhi or Rayville or for the guy in charge at Mangham. Don’t know, but sounds like a desperate situation.

Had no idea Wilcher even existed till he got the Mangham job, so I cannot speak to that. Rayville and Delhi want the head coach/ad to teach a mostly full load (I think 4 classes), so any assistant that goes there will almost certainly have 6 classes. Convincing someone to go to a place like that to teach 6 hours a day in the classroom for the pay they're offering is what we call "a hard sell".

There's a good reason the vast majority of teachers are women. It doesn't pay enough to be a breadwinner

It doesn't pay enough to be a breadwinner That is the underlying compensation principle that enabled the concept of free public education in the United States. Not sure if this was supposed to have anything to do with your previous comment though regarding the timing of pay for those positions.

This is a lot of the inequities that exist. These kids aren’t given a chance to compete and develop. Efforts should be made to right these wrongs.

Convincing someone to go to a place like that to teach 6 hours a day in the classroom for the pay they're offering is what we call "a hard sell". they are small schools in a poor parish, do you really expect them to be able to have a certified teacher on staff to be the head coach and not expect them to teach some classes. they aren't playing in the sec or in Texas, gotta expect to spend some time in the classroom. When I was in high school all of the coaches taught the first 4 periods of the day, then had lunch off, their 5th period was their planning hour, and then all sports had their practices starting with 6th period until an hour or so after school was over. Pretty easy set up if you ask me. sounds like some of these coaches are letting their egos get to themselves about what they should be allowed or required to do at their job.

Sounds like you aren’t familiar with the life and schedule of a coach

I’d guess he’s talking about the hour or two after school part I didn't take cvwildcatfan 's post to mean that is all the time the coaches were spending. I interpreted it as he was describing how their teaching schedule meshed with coaching duties. And I think it is important to point out that the scenario he described is not universal. Some coaches have it pretty good. I know one former 5A state champ head coach whose job was "campus sub" meaning his duties were to fill in when subs couldn't be found, or if only one or two periods needed to be covered. I know other coaches who had 3 different preps and a 6 periods of teaching. indy other than stress I wouldn't say the situations are universal at all.

I thought about this thread this morning when I was checking scores. Has anybody else noticed that two fo these teams are undefeated so far? Mangham is 3-0, Delhi is 2-0, and Rayville is 0-3. Now, to be fair, Mangham hasn't played anyone, but to start 3 and 0 with a new staff isn't bad, and with their schedule they could make the playoffs without beating a decent team all year. We'll find out if they are for real in district, but it looks like there's only one team who can challenge them and that's Ferriday. If they can beat the Trojans, I think a lot of us will have to admit we were wrong. Rayville is struggling big time, but with their schedule I don't think that is a surprise to anyone. I don't know who made the schedule but they must not like the kids or the school. They better hope there a team left when they get to a winnable game. The game between them and Mangham will tell us a lot about both of them. The team that impresses me the most is Delhi. A few weeks ago I had heard they had under 20 players and only one coach. To be 2 and 0 and beat your rival in that situation is amazing. Hats off to them for not just mailing it in.

And here we are over a year later...Mangham's hire has proven to be a smart decision. 2019 - 3 point loss in the 2nd round with a 9-3 record; 2020 so far - 6-0, just knocking off the reigning state champion. Rayville will do decent in district, but like you said, their schedule is tough, but Purvis seems to be going in the right direction. Delhi's 2019 hire made progress while he was there, but anybody who knows the obstacles of coaching in Delhi knows that it is a near impossible feat, as can be seen in their season thus far with yet another new coach.

Mangham have a hell of a coach. I'm not sold on Rayville's coach yet. Delhi is a school that have talent just have to keep they coach
