JT- Over confidence look what happened in Softball vs Edison, Wheeler a former State Champion loses, winning a half is a big deal when teams were getting beat 73-0 just a couple of years previous and on the road.

Wheeler scored 29 points without a quarterback, running predictable wildcat plays, and having no passing game..It took a half for Wheeler to adjust to not having their QB
If you took David Yancey off of Lake Central's team unexpectedly at the beginning of a game, how good do you think their offense would do the rest of the game?
In Wheeler's offense the quarterback means everything..thats why their offense only had about 20 yards of total offense against Andrean..they scored one defensive touchdown and recovered a fumble inside Andrean's 10 yard line to score the other
Wheeler won't be as strong as they were last year..but I'm still not sure those other teams will have enough to make up the big gap that Wheeler has made over the years

I don't disagree- but a new coach, lots of losses at the skill kid levels, RF won the GSSC at the JH Level two years in a row and those kids are now on the Varsity, and I am hearing that the Oilers are being raved about by other teams. I am not saying it is going to happen, but if Wheeler was as strong as they have been the coach would have stayed in my view,another AD job will open up each year and it seems like the one he took opens up a lot anyways.

As of right now, Klimczak's resume looks pretty darn good..after what happened last year I would think he would be a highly sought after coach by a larger school..maybe he took the AD job to take the year off and maybe wait for a big school job somewhere..I highly doubt this is the last time he will pick up a whistle..he's a young guy

Why would a coach who becomes an AD ever want to go back? It doesn't make any sense. For once indianbacker and I agree. I don't know how this conference is even relevant.

Because many AD'S are administrative and they face many interesting local hinterland board politics and you better be able to count to 4 or 3 with a school board, especially if your not a local.

It is still more money though, is it not?

I think it is more money. I doubt you will see him coaching again.

As they say more money and more problems.

I think crowntown is right. He will in his job. He might go to another school, but won't coach football again.

I tend to agree. While apollo is right the administration is it's own ball of headaches, there are no more two-a-days, full summer participation, practice planning, watching game film, game plans, weight room duties, the intense scrutiny that coaches are under from the community, the constant jabs in the media, even if your team is doing well, the non-stop cycle of new kids that you are teaching your system to, etc. All for a stipend of between MAYBE $2,000 and $5,000 a year if you are lucky and depending on the school. Let's not forget the fact of all of the things that the coach has to do and the pressure of teaching that also goes along with it, grading, teaching classes, lesson plans, etc.
So then, you get a chance to head an athletic department, that again has it's pressures (but what job doesn't) of hiring and supervising coaches, scheduling, supervision, etc. But for more money, and by the way, you no longer have to teach. Why would anyone not stay there?
Now that said, I know that there is the lure of competition, I get that. But there is still a vested interest in the school and you still get to fuel your competitive spirit. I still don't think that is enough to pick up a whistle again, unless you really began to hate the district you are in. If that's the case, you get a new AD job, normally you don't go back to coaching.
The only guy I know who did that, and he did it a couple of times, was Brad Smith from Crown Point/Highland/Attica who bounced between the two, and ultimately was both before he quit coaching for good. I am sure there were more, but he is the only one I can think of.
If we see Klimczak return to the sideline, I would think it would be in a dual AD/coach role.

Biggie Apollo? or is it Apollo Smalls? lmfao! I think anyone who is a coach wants to be a coach. He might be back before you know.

No way that he will coach again. The President doesn't go back to be Vice-President does he?

Well crowntownmike, John Quincy Adams did go back to Congress after being President and William Howard Taft became Cheif Justice of the Supreme Court after serving as president. Of course, that makes no difference here. I think he may coach again, but see him staying as and AD or an assistant Ad if he does. I wouldn't think he would go back in a classroom (or anyone for that matter)
