Coach Lou

These Varsity Guys you say that have moved on, wouldn't that be a big focus of the new head coach to get them to come back out.

I read where Goshen was able to start him as a teacher right after the holidays which I would think is a big plus for next year getting him in the building that quickly.

I have heard that there are not many staff changes coming with Elkhart. 

Coach Curry pretty much sticking with the previous coaches.

Hard to believe that a school with 2000 kids can only field 39 kids for a football team. I know coach Wogomon said a lot f kids quit right before the season.

Probably why the new coaches history of being a recruiting coordinator was a plus for him getting the job.

12 coaches is a lot for only 39 players.

Won't the new head coach be allowed to hire his own staff like Wogomon was?

I was surprised to read in the article about the new Goshen Coach that they didn't field either a Freshmen or a JV team last year. 

They are the 2nd largest school in the NLC. Makes sense they would hire a coach with a recruiting back ground.

Any word on Wawasee?

Also now that Goshen has a head coach any word on staff changes there? I know coach Wogomon brought in a number of assistants two years ago including O.C. and D.C. and Associate Head Coach.

Heard Elkhart won't make many changes having hired from with in.

Does anyone know if the new Goshen coach is any relation to Mike Hecklinski the hall of fame Mishawaka Marian coach who lead Marion to state champs in the 70's?

Looks like Goshen made a great selection. Hopefully Coach Hecklinski can return Goshen to winning seasons.

Now that it sounds like Goshen has filler their head coaching opening, any word on Wawasee's process?

Seems like jobs are getting filled quicker than they used to.

Not sure what the selling his house reference means?

Hearing Goshen has selected a coach awaiting school board approval.

I had heard that Goshen was moving quickly to get a new coach in place.

Just sorry it didn't workout for coach Wogomon or Coach Parks.

Last 2 Goshen Coaches have actually been former Goshen Players.

Now that Elkhart has named their new coach any word on Wawasee or Goshen's next coach.

Mishawaka may decide to stay in 5A seeing as they will still be in a sectional with South Bend Adams, Concord, and Goshen.

They lost a heart breaker by a point to Snider who went on to win 5A and will be moving up to 6A.

Great Idea. 

Need to get the Indiana Department of Education on board first before IHSAA has anything to do with it.

Elkhart has named Coach Curry the Defensive Coordinator this past season their new head coach.

Coach Curry is a Elkhart Grad.

Heard Both Elkhart and Goshen have started interviews. I know Elkhart was wanting to get a jump on everyone else who is looking for a head coach.

Elkhart has a number of teaching openings which will help.

WawaseeFan22 doesn't paint a very positive picture of the Wawasee Administration.

Isn't the A.D. a former player?

I would think schools like Wawasee, Goshen, Elkhart would have more resources (athletes, facilities, money, coaching and teaching salary) than Fairfield.

Matt Thacker at Fairfield had done a good job turning that program in to a winner and would be a good idea for Wawasee, Elkhart or Goshen to consider him for their openings.

Just saw that. So much for the 2nd half of the season improvements.

How does a Warsaw team play their worst game of the season against what I am told is their biggest rival?

Was that the same issue when Wawasee beat Riley and when they played a close game against Northridge?

I only saw them play once against Concord who beat them badly, but I heard the 2nd half of the season Wawasee was much improved and even beat a 8-1 South Bend Riley team along with playing Warsaw and Northridge to 1 score losses.

Have heard the future is bright for football in Syracuse.

I have heard there is a big push at Goshen for Kids to just play 1 sport and play it year round. 

I know that has been a big part of their soccer success.

Ringer would be a good choice.

What about Tuggle from Northwood? He has offers from just about every team in the top 20 and has verbally committed to #1 and 2 time champ Georgia!!

With Goshen it is my understanding that Coach Wogomon was allowed to bring in his own staff. 

I looked up his staff at Goshen and he had Logan, Greensides, Cotton, Stringfellow and a few others who I think were with him at Northridge but I may be wrong.
