WTF Sterlington??? Your coach just steps down........

It's how it works in education. If you're an administrator for at least 3 years, your retirement is much more. Also, obviously a pay increase immediately. He will be the principal whenever the position opens up.

Treat me like I'm ignorant here for a second.

He is a coach at a school that is no slouch in terms of funding. He probably doesn't have to pay squat in town as he is a God like figure now. He can build his resume as a coach even more so now than before. And before you say I'm off based here, I will tell you I dated the niece of Coach Dalyrymple out at Oak Grove and she flat out told me all the luxuries that were afforded him while he was coach. Same goes for McCarty. I lived next door to some high ups in Neville on Westminster in Monroe and they told me and my family straight up that McCarty would never have to worry about a thing and that they take care of their coaches--at least a winning one that is.

Here is my point. Is the pay and retirement so great that it outweighs the chance to further his career as an up and coming head coach? If it is, truly is, than we have some problems within our educational system where a man is willing to chance his head coaching career for some $$$$$. From what I see coming out of our school system that type differential between administrative costs and teachers and coaches shouldn't be all that great. Not the way you make it sound.

He is still a young coach and I just don't get sidelining your career for $$$$$ when you are building a name for yourself and your community. Seems odd. It may not to you, but it is odd. $$$ doesn't make something not odd. $$$ is not everything. Something else must be at play. Not nefarious, but not noble either.

I'm not implying this to Coach Thompson, but to ya'll stating money is the reason why. It may be to you, but to believe this is strictly about money is foolish if not completely outlandish.

I just gave multiple more reasons why, in his current state as head coach, it would be more lucrative in the long run for him to be a head coach and build something great.

Coach Shows never did this; Coach McCarty hasn't done this; Coach Robicheaux is the only big-time coach I know of that has done this at a school that is highly successful: he did it after they won their state championship against West Monroe and came back 2-3 years afterwards.

It is still strange. There is more to the story, but as I said it doesn't have to be nefarious whatsoever.

If you knew how little money he was actually making while coaching football, then you wouldn't question why someone would take huge pay raise to take a job with far less time and stress involved.

He's got a point. It is curious.

Dude you are completely over reacting.
Like I said, not everyone wants to be a coach their whole life.
He paid money to further his education to be able to move into administration
And do you really think that they would let someone involved in any type of scandal to move to assistant principal? No.
It is all about timing with moving up in the school system. It may have been 10 more years before a spot opened up so he knew he had to go now

I never got the draw of Sterlington beside just being another white flight area

CenturyLink doubling in size and moving people in from all over the nation. This has caused Sterlington to be primo real estate. A couple of years ago, houses were going 40-50K over appraisal every day.
