Um...New Orleans or South Orange County...hmm...let me think about that...I admit to thinking that going from college to high school might be on the surface a head scratcher, but the climate is sooo much better.

An interesting new revelation...

O.C. has third highest Asian population in U.S

Outside of pay and possible celebrity status (and I dunno, that school may be offering him a solid salary) the HS position has a lot on a college position. Less politics, less recruiting and traveling, more hands on coaching and mentoring, chance to see your wife and kids everyday, etc. I don't think anybody would blame a college coach who takes a HS position, might even envy him on some levels.

Looks like he got out before the levies give way...again.

leopold,
I agree except the politics. The politics in Texas H.S. sports can sometimes be pretty brutal, especially in the higher classifications.
