What's the skinny on Clemens, CB?
They hired Steele assistant head coach Jared Johnston as their new HC. I was caught completely off guard by this move and had Del Rio HC Steve Hoffman penciled in as the next HC at Clemens as most of the old timers here had. I was told by a pretty damn good source that AD Robert Lehnhoff did not have final say in the hiring process which I find completely unbelieveable and unacceptable. Ultimately it is his arse on the line when the head coaches do not perform and IMO he should be the man doing the hiring for each position.
I feel Hoffmann was the right choice and proved himself at SC while he was the DC there and anybody watching that 06' defense of his cannot deny that. Also, I know him personally and can tell you that he makes a difference in the lives of the kids he works with and loves the kids. When he was the DC at SC he would come to my wife's school and work with the children with disabilites and I was told by her and several other teachers that he was simply awesome with these kids. I'm not saying Johnston doesn't, I simply do not know him personally although everything I've heard about him is very positive.
It was time for a change at SC and was probably overdue by 3 or 4 years. Hopefully Johnston can get the attitudes back in a positive direction and get SC winning again. Believe me when I say I completely understand that SC did not have Steele's talent level and depth these past 5 years, but they certainly had more then enough talent to compete in the district they were in...........AND DIDN'T!
