Northwood Head Football Coach Vacancy

I've always said that. Especially over guys that have busted their rear for years to get jobs and just can't say the right thing in an interview.

I think there are a lot of schools that will hire anybody with head coaching experience. It doesn't matter what their record was as a head coach, they just have to have been a head coach.

Some assistant coaches wait and only apply for head jobs at good programs. They often find it difficult to land these jobs without head coach experience. These are the also the guys that often get passed over for outside coaches with head coaching experience when the head coach they work for leaves.

Other coaches take the route of applying for every job that comes open no matter how bad the job is. When they eventually land one, it opens the door for them to continuously move around to other bad jobs that gladly hire them. And if they ever have 1 good season at the bad program, it just might open the door for them to land a decent job.

I don't know which one is the right path to take for coaches, but I do know that quite often the principals making the decisions know very little about what it takes to select the right coach.
 
Still no update on Suitcase Mitch? He still is listed as the Northwood Coach on all his social medias and is doing speaking engagements listed as Northwood still.

Sounds like people are starting to catch on to what he does. Haven't heard officially, but you have to wonder if he is who South Brunswick's board rejected. There are some coaches who can do what he does (Joe Glass comes to mind as one - his track record speaks for itself as a top HC in NC), but unless you are a proven program-turner-arounder - I feel like most admins and boards don't want to hire someone who is wishy-washy and always searching for the next big thing.
 
Usually takes alot for a board to reject someone. He did say he had something down east, so that checks out potentially.

Go look at his X. You'd think he was still at Northwood
