Faculty vs non faculty Coaches

[ihsnola2015]

Just wanted to ask how many of y'all out there where faculty or non faculty coaches at your school. And what advantages do you see in either situation.

My school has decided to go the way of all faculty coaches which is rather unfortunate for non faculty guys like our soccer coaches.

We have a non-faculty soccer coach for girls and a faculty for boys. Advantages to favulty- soccer players in athletic PE, practice starts in athletic PE (in season) and is over earlier, and you miss less class because athletic PE last hour. Disadvantage could be if faculty coach isn't qualified but just most qualified on staff- doesn't apply in our case. Main advantage to non-faculty is you can find qualified coach without having to find someone with education degree or having to fund the position all year.
