Like other Florida high school football coaches who've left for similar jobs in other states, the opportunity was too good for Eric Lodge to pass up. Lodge joined the coaching exodus Thursday morning when he informed Sanford Seminole players that he'd accepted the head position at Berkeley High School in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. 'It was very emotional,' Lodge said of the meeting. 'I wanted them to hear it from me instead of from someone else.' Lodge, 33, is in line for a substantial pay bump at his new school as Seminole County offers only $3,711 in supplemental pay to head football coaches, according to recent data compiled by FloridaCoaches.
