[Rip/Spin]

There are a few names that I've heard that have applied, but it's all rumors at this point. After 2 days of the job being posted, I was told there was a little more than 5 applicants by an administrator, and others rumored that were going to apply.

The positives about this job:
1) community support - this is something that has grown over the years, and this year it exploded.
2) numbers - Casey had 55 kids on their roster this year and that's the most they have ever had. The numbers have increased over the past several seasons, and depending on the coach, could keep climbing.
3) Financial support - Businesses and the community have really bought in to the program and have supported football like never before.
4) Competitive Pay - The head coach's salary is $10,000. You have 3 assistants that are level 4 pay of $3.750 and 2 assistants at level 5 pay of $3,250. They are also looking into a weightlifting stipend for the head coach of $2,000-$3.000 and a stipend for 2 assistants.
5) 7th period - You can start practice during 7th period and not be at the practice field late into the evening.

Negatives:
1) Tradition, or a lack there of - This past season was Casey's first district title in 50 years of playing football and they have only played in 1 regional championship game (2016) in the history of the program. They've also only had 7 seasons above .500.
2) Because of negative number 1, there will always be a fight to keep the interest and support for the program going. As we all know, winning solves a lot of problems, and keeps the complaining to a minimum.
3) Perception - How the people are, what the support is like, lack of talent, it's a basketball school (boy's basketball has only had 1 winning season since 1994}

I'm sure there are plent others folks could add, but that is what I see and can think of off the top of my head.
