Some folks on here might have a hard time buying this but from all accounts I have heard, the current head coach is burnt out from coaching and no longer wants to be a head coach.



How do you get burned out coaching in a year with no sports?

He's leaving based on a combination of income potential compared to cost of living in the area, family time in having to work at the school full time and run a year round after school program and the more than anticipated parent and alumni intrusion.


so if burnt out its not just from coaching

dont most coaches have gigs in athletic departments and such?

SSSAS is doing the same with their lax program. No administration support. Not sure why any serious player would ever go there if they hoped to play at a higher level.

According to Bill Bradley, he offered JR the Head Coach position and Cabel Maddux the assistant position.


With Giblin running the box, and Petro and Cottle heading up the JV.

That's kind of harsh.


Current HC was at Potomac before Landon, maybe not too harsh?

On the flipside, 2019 Landon squad in year one post-Bordley was devoid of talent by Landon standards and pushed Gonzaga, Bullis, and Prep to competitive games, including some in OT.
