I see both of your points. Lewbo is just repeating what he heard and this forum is really based on rumored job openings that one coach may have an inside scoop about. Anyone can post what is already on the OCA job board, but this forum gives us a "heads up" sometimes. I understand that Hands had the "real" scoop but didn't want to share because he was probably given that info about Purcell in confidence. Lewbo, I say keep posting what you've heard and if it is wrong, then someone else can post what they know. The sharing of information is what we are really after anyway.
The real scoop is why O'hara would leave a good football job after one year for a track job? Is he passionate about track or are there underlying issues we don't know about? Is the Track pay that much higher?

Also, if you have spoken to anyone over the passed 5 years from there it has NOT been a good football job, hence the revolving door of coaches! And it hasn't been the coach's faults or the kids is what it sounds like to me!

Heard that all first year teachers got riffed. If this is true and they riffed the dude, they have to hire from within. That is law.

Here is my 2 cents. Purcell is a great town, there are really a lot of great people there. I loved it. The budget cuts are killing the place right now, but some of their pain was self inflicted. The coaches on staff still are awesome guys. The right person can do well there, I think it will stabilize. My experience is that the kids will work their butt off! They love football and they will compete! Agreed. I know the knew HWrestling dude is solid, and those kids were working their tail off for him. Just so far behind right now with the previous 2 years or revolving door. If someone stays, I think the town is pretty solid. A lot in the area to draw you away, like selling cars for instance.

This coaching cycle in Purcell that is occurring right now is not the first time this has happened. Purcell used to be a revolving door until Mike Wilson came. Wilson stayed for around 10 years had good success and retired, now it is back to the way it used to be before he came. I have lived in Purcell for 25+ years, did my student teaching there back in the day and I think one of the main drawbacks is the expectations of the community. Purcell is a perennial 3A playoff team which is good, but that's all they are. The community's expectations are and have been a bit unrealistic. We have a guy on this forum that got Purcell into the playoffs and that was not good enough. I don't know why the latest guy is leaving but I do know that expectations from the community are often unrealistic.

Hands, no reason to "Hulk Up." Why so mad? I know when Wilson was there, the played for a gold ball and beat me in district play twice. Good, hard working kids. I know Blue72 is a good coach, and he took them to the playoff and has said the kids work hard. O'hara has had some success in several places and if he is leaving on his own, it made me wonder if this has become a non-desirable job because of the admin? If this is the case, no one can go in there and make it a good job again until they are gone.

They currently have an interim Supt, a HS Principal that is in his 2nd year, and AD that has had that position only a couple of years. It may be the lack of consistency that is ongoing in the admin that is one of the causes as well. Like I said earlier, I live there and it hasn't always been a coach friendly community, once again with the exception of the Wilson years.

From what I hear, the people are cleaning up what used to be an undesirable admin. So they are working on getting better.

Good to hear. I'm just curious because it is close to where I'm at in proximity. However, I've got the best admin in the state of Oklahoma here in Dibble! After 15 years of coaching, I know that is priority #1 to be happy and successful. Feel very blessed about where I'm at when I hear the horror stories coming out of other places. Just wish our state would fund education properly.
