Todd Schulte leaving Delphos St. Johns?

• bigkahuna

  I'm originally from the Lima Area, and some people from my home town (St. Marys) are saying that there is a rumor going around town that Todd Schulte is leaving DSJ to become the new head coach at St. Marys after Coach Hollars stepped down after his 2nd year, going 1-9.
  
  Anyone still around the area have any information on this? I know it's a rumor, but I'm just curious as to how true it is.

  Not going to happen. Last time he interviewed at Van Wert to leverage a better deal for him at St. Johns. Delphos will come up with a way to get him more money or some booster will promote his wife. He has played this game before.

  What does his wife do?

  I have no idea if she even works. I do know of a former coach there who had some interesting stories of how things worked.

  Wanna make a bet?
  
  He will be the next coach at St. Marys.

  The rumor I heard supposedly came from a good source from Delphos that Schute is coming to St Marys

  Another rumor. He would be getting a $24,000 increase per year. You can look up salaries of coaches in St. Marys and other public schools (Teacher Salary on Serious Business) and a lot of head football coaches in the area makes about 60-65,000/year. That would put him around $40,000/year at DSJ. This is very possible, and it would be hard for me to turn that down.

  I think the whole issue boils down to retirment benefits and such does it not? I could be wrong. Current salary increase is nice as well, if that is correct information, but the retirement issues are a big plus from what I know...which is not much.
  
  As for him becoming the next HC at SM....if he wants it...it is his. Believe he is interviewing today.

  I retract my previous statement.
  
  He was to be interviewed today in SM, but he withdrew his name from consideration.

  Told you what would happen.
• thavoice

  You would think that some day people will learn...do not let names slip out who they will be interviewing. ONce that happens many times a coach gets the case of the goo and backs out.
  
  Keep your lips sealed people....ya just may land yourself one heck of a coach!
  
  Hope he does stay at DSJ...even tho they are a rival to our school it is very good for our league to keep the top coaches around.

  So, does anyone know the latest on the coaching search then?
