Today, my AD came to me and said i need to start filling in as our HC in the offseason until someone is hired in April.
If you followed my situation, you'll remember that our HC quit in July and we had chaos in our program afterwards. We went 0-10 with the most talented team at this school in 10 years as the interim HC and his appointed successor contradicted each other and changed things on a daily basis.
Well, now it's Nov. Our season is over. The interim HC, who had a series of major health issues, is retired again. His anointed successor won't get the job unless a family member in a high place shoves it down the principal and AD's throat. I'm the only coach left on staff. The AD came to me today and told me to get the weightroom going and try to rebuild enthusiasm, which has become nonexistent after1/4 of our team quit in the final 8 days of the season and we won 1 game in 3 years.
I don't know where to start. I had already planned on not returning to this school after the mess we've been in, but our AD is a good man and I intend to finish out my year here and leave on good terms. If things change drastically, I might consider staying. What can a coach do in a situation like this to get kids lifting and get some optimism going for the future?
