Like who? I was under the impression that in order to coach you had to be a teacher unless there were other arrangements made. I do know that in Russell's case Ivan McGlone was allowed to retire from teaching but remain as coach. But I think that is an exception to the rule.

This happens in a lot of places. Many coaches will assume "athletic director" or assistant athletic director, "guidance counselor" type positions and never step foot in a classroom. Others will retire from the classroom but continue to coach without holding any other position with the school system...ala Mac Whitaker at Harrison Co.
