At one of the local coffee shop round tables it was once again discussed that the athletic coaching staff for the PISD has once again had almost a 100% turnover in staff. Most of the members of the table remembering discussing the same issue at this time last year.
There were three schools of thought at the table being discussed:
1) The AD/Head Coach wants to produce a winner so he encourages the staff that is unable to help produce the championship to seek employment else where, and
2) The AD/Head Coach is a really bad manager and does not treat his/her staff in a fair manner, and
3) The AD/Head Coach has a really hard time getting along with the staff he hires for a various of reasons.
Whatever the reason the round table was in complete agreement that no one should be hired who is not capable of fulfilling a role in the classroom as a teacher first and coach second. This school district does not have the monetary resources to have several full time non-certified teachers working as coaches and serving as education aides. Athletics plays a role in the education process; however, it is secondary to the needs of the mind.
