In my opinion, this is a very unprofessional decision by Guidry. If JL had already signed a contract for next year or had a year left on his current contract then he can resign at anytime without penalty as long as it's not within 45 days of the start of school. It's professional courtesy to inform your supt if you are applying for another job but it's not mandatory. If JL gave Guidry this courtesy then in my opinion, Guidry should have give JL the same professional courtesy of not squeezing him to resign before accepting a job. If Guidry wants to play the game that way, he can expect some surprise resignations in the future. So, if Guidry ever decides to leave SH, should SH treat him like he did JL?

I agree that a separate AD only in a smaller school is not feasible financially for the school. However, a combination such as AD/Asst. Supt could be a possibility. Obviously, if your school and community are mainly concerned with the success of the football program, the AD will always be the HFC. Nothing wrong with this but this often cuts down on the quality of candidates for the other head coaching positions if these sports don't get (in their eyes) a fair chance at success. Particularly in East Texas, I think most communities are fine with the AD/HFC combination and many times this works for all. I think more than anything else it comes down to the character and leadership of the AD and not the sport this person is the head coach of.

So you agree if the AD/head coach works diligently to improve all the programs, this person does not necessarily need to be the HFC? The HFC at Brock is not the AD and their sports program is as well rounded on the boys and girls side as any small school you will find. However, the AD at Brock is also not the head coach of any sport which helps to create an equal opportunity for success for all programs. I'm sure many will see Brock as the exception and come up with reasons/excuses why their model would not work at other 4A or below schools but it is hard to argue with their consistent success across the board in boys and girls athletics.
