It's not so much our principal and AD as much as the county board. 1. Basically if you're not a teacher then it's very hard to get in as a coach. They've actually fired a coach from another sport mid season simply because they hired a teacher who had been a previous coach in that sport. 2. Again, parents pretty much run the administration. If the parents don't like it then the parents win. Even if that means complaining about a coach so much to get them fired though that coach was way more qualified then the next person they hire.
Someone needs to change the way they hire coaches. Just because they're not a teacher doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't make a good coach.
I think there are more non-teacher cheer coaches than teacher cheer coaches on this site. I know that's the vibe I've gotten from most of the posts I've seen anyway.
I for one have never been a teacher, and I'm thankful that neither the KHSAA nor my school dristrict really care as long as I'm doing my job well.
