Yikes.  Pretty surprising.

‘Not a HS position’ - I would assume collegiate? 

Are there openings at IU on Tom Allen’s staff? How about Purdue?

Well a great job opportunity just opened up...

Unless Irsay is the AD at Ben Davis I don't like Jeff's chances

My tech savvyness could not figure out how to post the gif of Fortune clapping for Rudy.
Well played sir, well played.

And this is an upward football career move?  Position coach at Miami of Ohio?

Add on that his son will leave IU and walk-on for FREE, good move.

[Impartial_Observer]

I will say in my travels with my kid during the recruiting process, Miami of Ohio was my favorite school. I loved the two, facilities were really nice, just a neat place.

If true, this is Coach Simmons' alma mater. He played there under Terry Hoeppner. 

I am so thrilled for coach. He's truly a great man who has such a big heart. He cares about his players very much, and they absolutely love him. I know this is being really taken very hard by the players in the BD program, but I think they understand that this was an opportunity that Coach Simmons couldn't pass up. Now, we'll see who's up next at BD. Cupboard is loaded for a deep run into the state tournament. I would assume this will attract some big name applicants as well as those who served as assistants back to Dick Dullaghan's era.

You’re not wrong. Between basketball and football at BD, fans on the west side have much to be excited about.

I am shocked by all this rumor mill information.  Clearly, it has not been released by Coach Simmons or the School that he may or may not be coaching at.  I am shocked and amazed that even an admin would allow such talk. 😆

If this is a secret it’s been horribly mishandled.

Likely the same salary he is making now between his building/teaching duties and head coach.....without the headaches tied to being a head coach? It absolutely is an upward move. Things can change quickly too. The RB coach from Miami of Ohio from a couple seasons ago is in the same spot at Notre Dame.

Correct, if it is published, then it can be posted.

How myopic would you have to be to think that an Indians HS job is preferable to a D-1 assistant position?

Calm down TW.  We are talking about a middling MAC program here,  not an Alabama, USC, or Notre Dame.  

And I always thought the Ben Davis job was one of the creme dela creme jobs in Indiana high school football?

But I guess Mr. Simmons no longer has to concern himself with mundane things like maintaining a teachers' license or educating non-athletes.
