I want his job of study hall supervisor
@Ernie-That is a pretty hard job, although it pays real well.
…Nature Boy…not sure how you are tying together young Mr Horner’s leaving coaching at “Valley”, with IOWA being a “cesspool of bigotry”?
Horner finally wised up. Iowa is NOT a place to grow. It’s a cesspool of bigotry.
Jeff and his family are class act people he was fun to watch as a Mohawk and Hawkeye. Good luck in whatever road he choses
I heard per a source that he is leaving the state. Sounds like he has excepted a position but my guy wouldn’t say where just yet.
I have a feeling he,s coming home and him and dad will lead the mohawks to that promised land. Sounds great but with the way our school system is in turmoil I doubt it will happen.
Does he want to come home? Or try and get to the next level?
Right. I seriously doubt he is moving “home”. This school district is in total chaos. Who would want to work for these people? Micich will leave next.
@Matt-God i hope you are right and she leaves real fast. Why would we want to keep on paying her after her gross mis-management?
he is going to University of north Dakota as a assistant coach. Strangly enough Dean Oliver was a assistant coach there until recently but is moving on to a different position. Two of the best Mohawk athletes of all time. Good luck to both of them.
