Coaching Jobs Open
- Thread starter Norcal_Fan
- Start date
Dublin was open but I believe they have started interview process for a candidate
Academy of Arts Assistant Coach $65K
Burlingame
Los Altos is listed on Edjoin - don't know if it's actually open or not.
The Burlingame situation is a tough one. The program, once one of the better CCS public school outfits, has fallen on lean times. The 2022-23 team was minus four returning starters, three of whom transferred to private/parochial schools. The results were predicable, and bad. It gets more worrisome. The program will not have a gymnasium in 2023-24 (and perhaps in 2024-25 as well). Due to the razing of the current gym (to begin later in the spring) and the building of a new, two-story athletic/fitness center, the Panthers will be a road unit for both practices and games next season and maybe beyond. Whoever the new coach is, resurrecting the program will be a difficult task indeed.

It's nothing new...there's always a lot of turnover in girls basketball..in basket all in general! If I posed something on the boys side, we'd probably get the same results
private schools and volleyball and soccer....
getting your head beat in with science whizzes playing the 1 and 5 gets old.
why is it so hard to win at Las Lomas? I've known some good coaches go through there with little success (wins).
Las Lomas has a couple issues:
1) Its main feeder school, Walnut Creek Intermediate, has never focused on competitive sports. I don't think they've ever had a competitive middle school team as they do at Stanley and Orinda Intermediate.
2) It is always impacted, it seems, meaning it can't accept any transfers, either within or out of district.
So to win there, you have to create your own program for middle school, and rely solely on the players within the attendance area, two things that few other schools have to deal with.

Here's a wild card: Jeff Sink, who has won more than 800 games, is coming to the East Bay. He's 71, but is looking to either build a program himself, or work as an assistant at a high-level school.
he's moving to the east bay? Campo, Hayward, or Dublin could be good places for him to land!
with the current state of how things are at St. Joe's, doesn't seem like they're interested in being competitive. When Hippol leaves because he didn't have the support to run a program that was booming, doesn't show well.
As I understand it, St. Joseph Notre Dame is more interested in being an academically oriented school than an athletically oriented one. Hence their move to the BCL West with Head Royce, Bentley, College Prep and Athenian.
What I don't get about that move for St. Joseph if the stories above are true, couldn't they shift their aim to be more of an academic school that could be a good small school in sports. Doesn't feel like it has to be as anti athletics as they are portrayed to be.
A lot of it has to do with the expense and administrative demands of being successful at sports. If you need more enrollment, sports is free marketing. If you don't, successful athletics means more spending, more meetings with parents who wonder why their kid isn't playing, more potential issues with aggressive coaches and a lot more nights on the road for administrators.
Perfect example of this is Sierra Canyon. It's a private independent school that was average prior to Komaki's take over 11-12 years ago. Now, they are a juggernaut that has professional players sending their kids there in droves, they're on ESPN, and have applications up the yin yang to get into the school. It's not coincidence that this has happened. As Clay said, free press is good press, especially when you're a winner. I don't know why SJ's couldn't be both academic and athletic without having to compromise their athletic reputation. Pre-Hippol, the girls program was a joke. They won a little under Gevara, but he really made that program fly. I'd hate to think it was jealousy, but Lippi also was growing tired of it.
Doug Cardoni has replaced Bill Flitter at Campolindo. Doug was a JV coach/varsity assistant at Miramonte, and a varsity assistant at Carondelet. He lives in Lafayette.
will you shut up...almost everything you say is ridiculous. I know he retired from teaching but checking on coaching jobs.

The answer is NO. Some coaches have probably applied to five or six of those programs and won't get hired.
My guess, a combination of wild parents, incompetent administration and inept coaches. Then you add the fact that there are not enough skilled players to fill rosters.
Is coop no longer at O High?
