My guess would be Perry Coggin, that guy at Coral Gables high school, and probably Ivey Williams because he was a RB coach at Alabama. I really don't know much about the other canidates... except for the WR coach at PSL, who is a nice person. you could probably contact the Okeechobee News or get in touch with the sports people at tcpalm.com and they could probably give you some answers and not guesses.

So who does everyone think will get interviews? Besides the local candidates.

what will the interview committee want in the new coach, wonder what they feel is important.

High School to consider 33 applicants for football coach

By Charles M. Murphy

Okeechobee News


The School Board released a list of coaches who have applied to become the next Okeechobee High School Football Coach on Monday.

On the list are Rex Erwin, the long time defensive line coach for the Brahmans, former Brahman Junior Varsity head football coach and former President of the Okeechobee Citizens Recreation Association Bob Hardman, and Okeechobee Pop Warner Football President and former Brahman player James Shockley.

The other candidates in alphabetical order are Danny Adams, Clyde Alderman, Early Babb, Jeremy Beckman, Gene Boley, Eddie Carnley, Jason Chappell, Perry Coggin, Robert Crowley, Chris Davis, Matt Dixon, Chris Dorminey, Craig Everhardt, Brian Ferguson, Charles Halfey, Alan Hall, Frank Hall, Chip Harris, Kit Hill, Paul Horne, John Kelly, John Launius, Cliff Lohrey, Andrew McEvoy, Klay Smith, Ryan Sulkowski, Michel Timpson, Garron Warwick, Robb Wilgoren and Inverson “Ivey” Williams.

A seven member committee has been created to review the applications and conduct interviews which are scheduled to begin on January.  All of the local candidates will be interviewed.  The committee will make a recommendation to High School Principal Toni Wiersma who will make a selection, most likely by the end of January.

[size=Assistant Superintendent Ken Kenworthy said that the district was pleased with the quality of applicants they received for the position.  Some of the applicants have former or current head coaching experience.  ]

Perry Coggin lead his team to the playoffs last year in Arizona, so it seems that he has had some sucess. And Ivey Williams was the running backs coach at Alabama until 2000. So that would have made him Shaun Alexander's running back coach.

Your exactly right! Okeechobee should be a 2A school if you just count the kids who go out for sports. It's a shame that they may never have a chance to compete for a title in the classification they are in.

Well their really isn't nothing you can do about being 4A but I believe they should try to do something about the new district that we are in(15-4A). Having to travel to Gardens, Lake Worth, and West Palm Beach is not fair. You shouldn't have to travel and hour & 30 minutes to  play district games. Distirct 14-4A has Sebastian, Central, Martin County, and South Fork. All of those games take less than an hour to get to (accept Sebastian) and that should be the district that Okeechobee is in.

What i was saying---- You can see kids doing what their suppose to for wrsetling-

You can go to a softball practice and she doent have to turn her head  to make sure everybody is doing what they are suppose to. They get it done with or without the coach watching. The cages are open and you will find girls in there often- thats what winning is- I just wish it was the same for the other sports.

By the way the "boys" basketball team has camps as well- The coaching just sucks on the varsity level.

The girls- well-they pick up the ball when season comes around

Success at the HS level is really setup by good jr level programs at the elementary and MS level. Sports with strong travelling/club teams...volleyball, softball, baseball, wrestling, cross country, and football have had success. Sports without them ...basketball, swimming, girls soccer...have struggled to stay competative. Boys soccer is kind of an exception due to the strong hispanic pool of sandlot talent we have. Without strong jr programs it probably doesn't matter who the coaches are...consistent winning would be difficult at best. I agree with sportnut that the girls softball coach has to be one of the hardest working and dedicated ones at the HS...she works on that program virtually non stop all year around with all age groups, 8-18.

Are you here telling us that the softball team and wrestling teams, that the players "run" their own practices? I beg to differ. I can't speak for the wrestling team, but the softball coach, love her or hate her pours ALL of her time and energy into that program. Hence why they have one of the best fields you will see anywhere in the state and a team that may not play the best at times, but there's no doubt they respect her!

Rebuild (5-6 years-no-no-no) 2 years tops--Like I said wrestling/softball dont seem to have to rebuild every 5-6 years (maybe its the coaches- I'm saying what alot of you think and say to your buddy. But you can point your fingure and call me the bad game- What does that make you "good" -Sorry too many movies - Anyways-We want winners on and off the fields/courts. YES the weight room needs an adult there- Thats like letting the kids run thier own practice (only softball and wrestiling can do that "I've seen it"

So Realbone, I know that each coach needs to have a winning team, but what about allowing for re-building? The softball coach had a big group of juniors and seniors over the past 2 years. This year she goes into the season with a few starting juniors, no seniors and little pitching. Are you going to be calling for her to resign when she's trying to rebuild her team? What about the wrestling team? We have to  do the best we can with what we have--we don't have hundreds of thousands of kids to pick from in Okeechobee, although we do have some very good athletes. Coaches can only do so much-they still can only work with what they have available to them. Thankfully we have coaches who care about our kids!

Coaches that care. That's a big one there. They put in MORE hours with these kids than most people spend with their OWN children! And just like sportsnut stated, there are going to be some years when rebuilding takes time, it's not every year a you have a Lonnie Pryor, a Gene Harris, and I could go on with names of really good players that were here, some who never got a chance to play anywhere else, due to coaches who didn't have a CLUE, the politics of the school board, and poor guidance counslers. Okkechobee should be a class 3A, possibly a 2A school. Lot's of kids there who do not contribute an ounce of effort toward nothing involving the sports program. And another point. WHY does a coach have to be there in the weight room with these kids in the off-season? Kids this age are young adults, shouldn't they take some responsibility of their own? Or do they need a coach to hold their hand while they lift a dumbbell? I know these coaches put in at least when the season is here, with practices, games, trips , weight room and all the extras probably amount to close to 80 hours a week! Do YOU have the time?

The end result is everybody excluding wrestling and softball need to be "fired" If you can only produce distict titles/a run at states every 2 years football fire them-every 5-6 years baseball fire him- every 6 years basketball fire him-

Softball and wrestling are doing just fine "keep up the good work"- Allthough I love my town- STOP HIRING PEOPLE FROM OKEECHOBEE-Find some winners and give them what they need and if they cant get it done- keep it moving

Thats the bottom line cuz "realbone" said so;)

Chobeefan & Jubrahman: Stop defending that grown ass man. Now that we all know you two are kids and don't know much "I" refuse to debate about football, coaching, and your daddy with you two.  Well maybe not your daddy- I have to sleep on that. 

I Bleed purple and gold: You should do the same although what you said had my ass on the floor laughing doing  pushup-situp-sprints;)-I'm starting my new years resolution early because I cant end up like "Those I dont speak of anymore"

If someone had to bring another person in to do my job it would bother me.
Dude I didn't play because my major isn't avaliable at very many D2 and D3 colleges. I made a choice not to play. My dad was the DLine coach and was never the Oline coach this year. Coach B was the Oline coach for a few games and Coach McKee took over. And believe he did his share of coaching. I don't like to get personal either but just to let you know he has turned down job's before to stay here. Oh and I have plenty of people ask me if I play football. i don't really get where you are going with whole way I look 3 years after I got done playing arguement. And yeah I think I have insight on the program. And what proof do you have that he not a good conditioning coach. If he was a bad Line coach he would have been fired already. You know coach B had 4 years to do that, Coach Dresser had 3 years to do that, and Coach Mckee had 7 years to do that and never happened. hmm...weird.

First off I want u to understand that I have a son in the program, so I know what I'm talking about. We all know that Okeechobee coaches duel coach. Ineffectiveness is the reason Coach McKee was brought in, but I wouldn't expect u to admit to that.Coach Erwin has coached o-line in the previous so now all of a sudden coach Branham just took over the o-line considering that he's a great quarterbacks coach. So your telling me that Coach Erwin volunteered to just coach d-line. Get real. My facts are standing around in the weightroom with your arms crossed does not make u a good strength coach. Figured u would know that since u play college ball and all.

actually coach erwin was just the defensive line coach this year, coach branham wa the offensive line coach at the beginning of the year. and our o line coach last year was coach buckner so youre last point made no sense. and how have you proven that coach erwin isnt a good strength and conditioning coach?

Spoken like a true son talking about his father........Let's be for real....Anyone around Brahman football knows that Erwin is not head football coach material. Coach Erwin lack leadership skills.14 years and no head coaching experience not even on the JV level. Leadership reflects on and off the field.

Well for your information I was a kid who could only bench about 100 pounds going into high school and I came out of my senior year with a 285 bench press. And I while I may not be a physical specimen, I am definietly not a flaba#$, and I can say that I became much stronger with the help of ALL OF THE COACHES not just 1. Dude you are dumb. And to be honest there really isn't a lot room to work with me... I'm not exactly the greatest athlete in the world but I was smart and had good feet.

you can call me what u want but first of all im a lineman, not exactly supposed to be a physical specimen. and second of all i was athletic enough to be only 6 feet tall and still get multiple d1aa so he must of been doing something right. oh and it is pretty impressive to blow your knee out twice in 3 years and then come back and still be top 3 on the team for overall weight in lifting your senior year, (if you really know me you would know that) so nice try but i dont think youre going anywhere with that one.

I didn't realize that it is illegal to drink. Besides it doesnt matter what someone does out of school as long as it isn't illegal. And you know what maybe there things going on outside of football that are no ones business(as far as not being at the weightroom). And the weightroom helped me out  a great deal so I don't know where you are going with that. If you are trying to say that I was no good then that is your opinion. I'll say that I wasn't the greatest lineman on the team when I played but I was good enough to start for 2 years and be on for varsity for 3. And that had nothing to do with my daddy. Anyway who are you? We have a name to our face... Since you seem so unafraid to trash people then why don't you tell us who you are.

He has coached for 14 years and was in the military and u don't think he doesn't know how to come up with a lifting program or run a weight room. Do you really think he has NEVER ran the weightroom for 1 day in 14 years of being at OHS. Cmon. Do you honestly think that he has never shown someone how to do a squat, bench press, or curl. Do you really think that he has never told players what kind of sprints to run. Seriously. If you are going to try to trash someone please come up with something better. You act like he wasn't there last spring and summer helping out in the weightroom. Do you think just because he doesn't look like a personal trainer he doesn't know how to run a weight room. I don't get why people are always trying to find negative things about people when they just aren't there.

Even though my opinion is biased because I live with guy. I can honestly say I believe Coach Erwin is very qualified to become the next Head Coach. Just to name a few reasons... He has been involved with OHS football for 18 years including 14 as a coach... He has been thru 3 head coaching staffs so that says something about his ability to coach... He truly cares about what is best for his players and loves the community here. He is also someone who will continue to get great effort out of players.

u also forget that Coach Erwin is a teacher and he still had duties at where he works. For example he tutors after school so he isn't going to be at the weight room on days that he has to tutor.

UMMM... Let me think. I am pretty sure he showed me and Rafe how to lift weights. And plenty of others. You don't know as much as you think.

all im gonna say as a college football player is that our weightroom is not open until finals are done. so maybe the kids should focus on school these last two weeks. and realbone if you really know chaka then you know why he wouldnt be allowed to be the head coach. and who are you to say that someone shouldnt coach if they dont want the head job, look at monti kiffin and others like that.
