“Being a principal and being a coach are really the two things that complete me besides my amazing family. All of it really fell into place for me perfectly. “Before all of this, I was saying a lot of prayers and making decisions about my future. “It is amazing how things work out,” McCarty said. Since that time, McCarty's principal duties were cut back to one school and Jordan has left Air Force to join the team at Western Oregon. McCarty said he stepped down last year to better focus on his duties as a principal at three K-8 buildings in the Silver Falls School District and to spend time following the college football career of his son, Jordan, a freshman quarterback at Air Force. The Foxes went 11-14 last season after graduating all five starters from the state runner-up team. I was going stir crazy and I knew something needed to change for me personally.” “I didn’t realize that I really don’t have a lot of hobbies, especially in the winter,” he said. McCarty said he didn't think he would return so soon, but last year “nearly killed me.” McCarty is back as the coach at Silverton, where he went 112-13 in five seasons (2017-22), leading the Foxes to a 5A runner-up finish in his final year. Jamie McCarty also is returning to coaching after a one-year hiatus. Nyquist went 53-29 in four seasons as the coach at Stayton, including 13-11 last season.
And I don't want that light to burn out on me.” “A part of that fire, that light that burns inside you, that shines on others, was missing,” he said. He noted how his father was affected by retiring from coaching. Wold, who played at Philomath, is the son of Bill Wold, the former boys coach at Harrisburg (1962-64), Silverton (1964-66), Douglas (1968-71) and Crescent Valley (1977-85). “I missed that pursuit of something, where you're building and you're working together, trying to accomplish something. “I missed the camaraderie with coaches and the girls, the team,” he said.
He admitted, though, that sitting out the basketball season was “difficult.” Wold said he relished spending more time with his daughters, Harper, 10, and Henley, 6. “ We kind of wanted it to be one more year, where she could be principal for a year, but we feel like we can get it done.” “A year from now, who knows what jobs are open, and maybe it's a 35- or 40-minute drive,” he said. Stayton is a 20-minute drive from his home in Silverton, where he has lived since 2019. He plans to continue teaching middle school math in the Silver Falls School District. We thought that his was a pretty good option, working for Darren.” “He's kind of the reason I came to Silverton,” Wold said. And he has a connection with Stayton athletic director Darren Shryock, the former boys coach at Silverton. He lived for 11 years in Stayton, where his two daughters were born. He was Stayton's boys coach for four seasons, going 51-51 from 2007 to 2011. “That opened some doors for me to say, 'Maybe I can look now and see what's out there,'” said Wold, who compiled a 180-46 record during his tenure at Silverton. He got clarity this spring when Taryn was hired as an elementary school principal in the Silverton district. Wold, whose nine-year run at Silverton included a 5A title in 2016, waited to see if his family needed to relocate while wife Taryn pursued a school administrative position. Tal Wold said he could have put off his return to coaching girls basketball for at least one more year.īut the way the stars aligned, the former Silverton coach couldn't resist an opportunity at 4A Stayton, where he has been hired to replace Wendi Nyquist as coach. Tal Wold went 180-46 in nine seasons as the coach at Silverton before taking off last season.
