You have two ultra-successful programs where an "antiquated" offensive scheme is synonymous with the teams' very identities, which makes it virtually impossible to replace a legendary coach with an outsider. Uncle Percy agrees with Cousin Liam. Liam McPoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 1 hour ago, ghos88t said: Why would he retire with just 26 years teaching experience???? VRS requires 30 years experience for full retirement benefits.. Is he going somewhere else to Coach??? Very odd to step away at this time. Maybe hes got other years in with the state not teaching, or maybe plans on moving to a different state job. Lots of options as long as you stay within the state system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you "retire" from one career prior to 30 years of service doesn't mean you aren't going to do something else. Casto can go into administration for a few short years somewhere else and increase his VRS retirement a significant amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VRS bases your payout upon your last 5 years of service. Hike that salary up and retire well. sixcat and 1inStripes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ends with a 261-59 record at RHS including 9 State Championships. Riverheads will carry an ongoing streak of 50 consecutive wins (Best active streak in the nation) and 6 consecutive State Championships (VHSL Record). You don’t retire from teaching if you are taking an administration job in your district, you are transferred. If you are taking a job in a new school system, you don’t retire, you are transferring to a new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are taking a job in a new school system, you don’t retire, you are transferring to a new system. After reading the article on his previous retirement, and given his age, it would appear that he has more than 30 years in the VRS, assuming his entire career was in Virginia. I know nothing of his history prior to coaching at Riverheads. Edit: found an article that stated he had 4 years as an assistant at RH prior to being head coach. Also, spent time at 2 other Virginia schools before that, so definitely has his 30 in. Edited January 6, 2022 by Union_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made THIS post. You were calling 1A and 2A soft. Then, I pointed out the fact that Riverheads couldn’t win state in 2A when they competed as a 2A school, which is probably where they should be right now anyway. Would they win 2A right now? Very possible. But that’s not the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Only a select few people in sports truly do not care about streaks, records and milestones. Unless Casto has a change of heart, he's leaving a number of these on the table including: 1. the nation's longest active winning streak at 50 games with a near guarantee to surpass the Phoebus Streak of 52. 2. the Virginia record and current streak of 6 straight titles with a stable of underclassmen to push this near double digits. 3. 9 state titles with a solid chance of matching or surpassing Mike Smith's 12 titles. 4. just 39 wins away from the 300 Club and 55 wins shy of surpassing every Virginia coach not named Mike Smith. I'm not suggesting Casto should stay just to chase history, but I certainly admire him if he can walk-away with no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImFromOutEast 14 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Casto was head coach at Chincoteague back in 1990. No idea if he was in that role prior to that year or how many years thereafter. It's always strange when stories mention his "career" record his Chincoteague record is not included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
