WEB EXCLUSIVE: Search for new Allen soccer coach down to two
BY Kevin Hageland, khageland@acnpapers.com
In its attempt to find a replacement for former Eagles boys soccer head coach Robert Jacobs, Allen athletic director Steve Williams confirmed Thursday the candidate list is down to two.
Though Williams wouldn't say who the two were, he did note both are internal candidates.
"I think having internal candidates does make the process a lot easier," Williams said, "because they already know us and we already know them."
"I don't really want to get into why (the change was made), but I have nothing bad to say about coach Jacobs," Williams said. "He did a good job for us."
After having entrenched coaches in Mike Wiersema on the boys side and Karen Hunnicutt on the girls side, this is the second straight year Allen has needed a new coach. Kevin Albury took over for the Lady Eagles last season after Hunnicutt retired.
"Life changes, but things keep moving," Williams said. "We are still going to have kids come in and we still expect to have a strong program."
