Guest DT Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Im a little surprised when I see some of these successful retired coaches come back for another stint, regardless of the level. Things seem to be so much different now than they were 10, 20 , 30 years ago. Seems like nothing but problems. * Dwindling numbers * Program apathy * Poor administrative support * Influence of lay coaching * Declining game attendance * The negative impacts of specialization * Bad parents * Referee shortages Maybe Coach Jensen feels like a move from a big school to a small school will rekindle some of those old time feelings. Reminds me a little of Brad Smith, who went from big schools (Portage/Highland/Crown Point) to small schools (Attica/Fountain Central) Its rare indeed that we see this type of move. Best of luck to Coach Jensen and hope that he finds lots of small school spirit at Whitco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Nowlin Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 @DT He took exactly 1 year off from Warsaw to now Whitko I am sure he understands the current climate of Indiana H.S. Football 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachfields Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 As a Whitko grad I think it's a good hire. If you read the Times Union article, it talks about him intentionally balancing life as a coach and father. That's a trend that seems to be appearing more in the profession and I will be rooting for Coach Jensen even more because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
