Time is Ticking

OHSWEKEN:  There still remains a coaching vacancy for the position of Head Coach of the JC Hill Student Squad. There was some speculation that the search would be quick, but as time has worn on, it became a running joke that the Toronto Maple Leafs would find their GM before the students replaced their coach. 

Well, here it is, late December, and the coaching position remains unfilled, while Brian Burke has been hired to turn the Leafs around.  

Since the firing of Coach Restoule General in the spring of this year, it is uncertain how many people have been interviewed or approached about the head coaching duties.  The immediate selection of ex-Physical Education teacher, Miss General, was thought to be a given, but her retirement has left a void of possible candidates for the role.

As of press time, the possible candidates included, but were not limited to, Coach Ireland (who has had some recent basketball success), Coach Jamieson (who runs a no-nonsense show), Coach Dunnigan (who may choose to lace up for the teachers instead, barring his injury status) and the Coaching tandem of Johnson, VanEvery, Hill & Hill (who have been known to "holla at their boys" on numerous occasions).  It was not ruled out that the students might promote from within, and choose one of their own, namely, Coach Watts (who knows his share of losing teams and hopeless efforts).

It should be an interesting week, but that coaching seat needs to be filled for Friday.
