OT - Colerain Football

[Bearcat Chris]

It's all about the Ohio teachers pension at this point.

The maximum pension any STRS or PERS person can get is $400K per year. Your pension is based now upon your five highest years where it used to be the three highest. At O$U, he was making $750K per year. He has already maxed out, so money is not the issue. The problem is, Kerry left 20 years ago, and most of the young players at CHS have never heard of him.

Also, we have had some problem with our "Little Cards"..... embezzlement issues, I believe, so that program is weak.

He does love the school, but he may wan to enjoy retirement. Not being HC will give him time, but you know there might be pressure for him to go HC.

You're the second person I've seen today bring this idea up.

Perhaps their old coach will come back after he retires from UC. Maybe not HC but an advisor and motivator.

Colerain used to have a really good pee-wee feeder system. They also seemed to get the good ones from the Northwest HS side of the District.

I know what is going on at CHS. We do have very poor training facilities (weight room is an old shed with no bathroom), and the two best players from last year's team transferred to open enrollment high schools.

Everything is cyclical. The Cards will be back!

Saw that. I'm not local anymore but where did those kids and coaches end up? Seems like they went to Lakota, Princeton and Winton Woods? Am I right?

The kids haven't really moved. Colerain had a very active elementary age program to teach and grow talent that fed into the high school. The kids there today don't have that strong base, and some of the naturally better talent moved to another school district.

Colerain used to send multiple players to UC and other D1 schools, but have completely collapsed. The most recent HC, Carl Huber, just stepped down after his two winless seasons. He essentially had no talent.
