It will be interesting to see if Landon goes internal or if they conduct a National search as a replacement.

What made it not surprising?

What happened to the current/prior coach? I'm surprised a school as prestigious as Landon would need to resort to posting job description to get a strong candidate.

How about all the ML and other club players (and their parents) who committed to Landon? This has to be big impact on them (unless they were aware the team was without a coach when they committed/enrolled)?

Current HC announced he is moving on after '21.

"The ideal candidate will fulfill Landon’s Teacher-Coach-Mentor responsibilities by teaching in the academic program and serving as an advisor to a group of students. In all roles the promotion of character building, teamwork, and sportsmanship in accordance with the Landon Code of Character are paramount."

Disqualifierd on both parts.

Agree with this. The Heads of the IAC schools look at sports as more of a nuisance than anything. The only reason they care, is cause the parents and kids care and we are paying the bills. I guess that is like most people centered in academia at that level. The values that sports provides young people (as well as opportunity are just hard to conceptualize if one has never gone through it at any type of high level. Very narrow expertise and ability to relate.

What are you talking about? Completely delusional.

This is from SSSAS e-mail communication:

“We know that this news will be disappointing to our winter athletes and all those that treasure watching our Saints compete. We will continue with winter sports team practices when we return in January and hope to provide additional opportunities for our athletes to train in this next seven week period. We hope to explore opportunities for competition in February should health conditions allow. At this time our plan is to transition to fall sports at the conclusion of the winter sports period, followed by spring. We continue to be committed to supporting team-based activities that are essential to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of our students.”

I've been told Winter sports are entirely off the table.

There is a small chance Fall sports might take place in March / early April.

Our schools AD seems optimistic there is a good chance there will be Spring sports from mid April - early June.

What is the IAC doing about fall and spring sports?

IAC just announced winter sports will not take place in January at all. Possible that there might be some competition in February, if conditions allow.

You really think there will be winter sports starting January 4th?

Come on man

These guys haven’t said a peep the past 60 days.

Athletic directors really can’t be that busy right now.

IAC AD's did put forth a plan shortly after the school year started. 3 seven week seasons starting with Winter sports Jan 4, Fall sports begin Feb 22, Spring sports begin April 12. Schools, parents and players should receive an update right before or just after Winter Break.
