Bristol Eastern High School in Bristol, CT is looking for a new wrestling coach. It is a pretty good coaching position for anyone who is interested. They are looking to fill three positions, Varsity, JV and Freshman - all paid positions. I don't know the rate of pay, but I know that all coaches in the Bristol School System are paid well relative to the other districts. $5000 - $6000 to start.  Bristol Eastern is a perennial Top 10 team in CT. They usually average 50 kids on the team. There is also a strong youth club as a feeder program. They are returning multiple placewinners from last year and will be competitive again. THIS IS NOT A "REBUILDING" SITUATION. Being a head coach in this situation is great - taking over an established program, with 2 paid assistants, with numerous returning place winners and a feeder program.
