As president of OUWC this year, I have inherited the role of hiring a new coach for our upcoming season. Who knew it could be so difficult?? Even though I've had about 12 people respond to the ad I posted on Row2k, I still feel like I am sitting at square one. I haven't gotten anywhere!! It's the pay that seems to be the deal breaker. Obviously we don't get our funds from the school since we're not a varsity team.. so we can't pay that much.
I think if we were to be a Columbus team, or somewhere maybe even 1/2 the size, I would get double the responses, and probably even have a coach by now. I had one person on a hook, and almost reeled him in.. even past the dreaded "we can only offer this much speech.." and then of course he was offered a better job. JUST MY LUCK. :(
As of now I have one option, and I'm going to use every weapon in my arsenal. It's July 29, and our season starts on September 6. It's do or die time.
(Sorry this post is so short, my computer is going to die! I just had to post though..it seemed about that time.)
I promise! I WILL post tomorrow.
