Lake Central will be hiring Calumet's Rick Good as the new football coach at a school board meeting on 1/19.
Good went 23-14 in four seasons at Calumet - the only coach in program history with a winning record.

I am sure it will be spun as a good hire, but a school like LC should not be getting their next head coach from Calumet.
Maybe Merrillville or Valpo can turn to River Forest or Lake Station for their next head coaches

I’d say it’s a “Good” hire haha
Honestly who knows at this point. He did some great things at calumet and now has a bigger pool to choose from. Has to get those 3 communities on board. I saw he went to Mt. Carmel, is he from Illinois or Indiana? Perhaps he can recruit some kids back to LC....
Any word from Crown Point on hc process?

Word travels slow down here off of State Road 10, but I am hearing an outsider will be going to CP. Is this a good or bad thing for the region?

I’ve heard they started interviews last week, not sure if they’ll do a final round. Just wonder when they plan on making a final decision and announcement and if it’s who I heard it might be. Be great for CP and LC to be more relevant on the gridiron and make the DAC an even tougher conference

The 1st year at the helm will tell a lot in my opinion. Good will have the same players for the most part that TBart had. LC didn't lose any impact seniors this year. My prediction is more of the same, 2, 3 wins tops. LC got the best that they could during their coaching search, and Mr. Good is a nice guy from all the interactions I've had with him, but nothing will change on the football field. LC has a nice Freshman/Sophomore class, so perhaps he can get 4 or 5 wins in a few years, but LC will never be a power with Good in charge, honestly I don't know who it would take to change the culture there, so my statement isn't necessarily a knock on the new coach. Unfortunately, LC has become an ending for coaches, not a destination.
