If you're a a Pennsylvania scholastic football fan, the book you must have is the 2012 Pennsylvania Football News Resource Guide put out by longtime high school gurus Rich Vetock and Tom Elling.
To order the book, go to their website -- www.pafootballnews.com
The resource guide is chock full of great information, spread over 416 pages.
One of the many interesting things they haveis a listing of all the new head football coaches in Pennsylania this year.
We've had more than our share of changes around here, but it seems like there's a lot of turnover all over the state as football -- like every high school sport -- is now a 12-month-a-year deal and there's a prominent burnout factor that didn't exist years ago. There are other factors as well, of course, like meddling parents for example. But the days of the 30-year coaching career at one school seems over.
Not of all these guys are new head coaches because guys like George Curry, Brian Gilbert and Kevin Ronalds have been head coaches before. They are in new positions from last season.
