Looking for a job? Maybe the coaching life is for you.
Coupeville schools currently list five open positions on the district web site, with three being varsity high school head coaching gigs.
Wolf Athletic Director Willie Smith needs to tab new leaders for the CHS baseball, boys soccer, and cross country programs, while also hiring a middle school volleyball coach and a boys high school JV basketball coach.
The baseball and JV basketball positions came open when jack of all trades Chris Smith left Whidbey in the spring.
He had also coached high school JV volleyball, though former Wolf player Ashley Menges has been offered that position.
Her hire has not been officially approved by the school board, however, as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shut down all athletic contests since February.
The cross country job opened when Wolf coach Luke Samford and his wife, Hayley, moved to Kansas in May.
Erin Locke accepted a new job in Bremerton around the same time period, opening the middle school volleyball job, while the high school soccer coaching position came open thanks to a quirk.
With CHS dropping from 1A to 2B and returning to its old-school stomping grounds, the Northwest 2B/1B League, the Wolves will play boys and girls soccer during the same season.
Kyle Nelson previously led both programs, but decided to step away from the boys job to focus on the girls team.
