Sickles had a good program for a few years. Longtime coach stepped down prior to this year, and they didn't have a good season. Actually from looking at it, they had a really bad season. If I recall correctly, the school is in a fairly nice area of Tampa.
Coral Reef is in a middle class area in South Miami. Huge amount of talent in this area, but you have to fight a lot of other schools to get it. Didn't have a great record this year, but they play in a very tough district. The roster looks like it was very senior filled.
Lincoln I don't know much about... The school has a reputation as one of the better football programs in the country, so they have athletes.
Bishop Verot is a Roman Catholic school in Ft. Myers. Plays in one of the smaller school divisions, so I would say maybe 600 students. I know their team is currently a game or two from the state finals, so they have some talent this season. I don't know about the future, because in the smaller school divisions - one stud player joining or leaving the team can make a huge difference.
The only opening I know of at this time is at Monarch high in Coral Springs. Good school in a pretty good area.
I'm sure more openings will come up in the next few weeks.
It's a very diverse group of schools, and I think picking one would be very dependent on the coach and what challenges he is willing to take on.
Did Joe Franco from Monarch leave? Monarch is in Coconut Creek.
