Reedley College

Any word on the hire there?

No word yet !!! Final interviews with the president were two weeks ago...This new president, she has a different agenda and I don't think athletics is a priority. Would not surprise me if they went interim...or even drop the program ( I have heard that in the discussion as well).

I hope they don't drop the program that would be a major disaster for the school and for I was on the FCC Football teams in 2005 and 2006 always looked forward to the Reedley/Fresno City games because you know it's going to be war. Also I believe Reedley made some improvement and almost beat Fresno City last year.

They have opened 0-3 and I'm already hearing rumblings that the coaching staff is in jeopardy.  Hopefully they don't just drop the program.  I like that local kids have an option besides FCC to continue playing.

   Not the assistant coaches, the HC and the DC. The HC is a one temporary hire, the job will be posted after the current season is completed, and he will have to apply again. He was behind the 8 ball to start as he was not hired until early June. The past DC did not want to return so the new DC was not hired until mid July. His staff was not completed until the very end of July. One coach left two weeks into the start because he did not have an AA or enough units to get paid. Very tough situation there...there will be growing pains and learning curves
