Well, aren’t you a little big for your britches.

Without wandering too far into a political discussion, I also like the idea of honoring local folks who made a direct contribution to the community. Much better than generic names referencing directional quadrants and/or landscape features IMO.

The names actually mean something to the county and the schools, good change imo.

Good lord the geographical bias. Nice to know we in SWVA aren’t supposed to do research. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just seems to me signs are pointing to him not sticking around long.

It's PC to not have a school named after a Confederate general? Learn something every day. I'd bet the black students just loved saying they went to a school named after a general who fought for the right to keep their great great grandparents as property.

Apparently it is county by county. Although it has assumed somewhat traditional status, the employment of faculty members as coaches is probably driven by budget considerations as much as anything else.

Apparently the AD duties have already been reassigned on an interim basis. Without knowing exactly what subject he was hired to cover, it probably won't be hard to fill the teaching vacancy. This does seem to represent a sea change in terms of longstanding policy requiring coaches to also function as faculty members.

I commented in "Richlands staff" thread as well. Resignation as a teacher and AD doesn't necessarily mean that he won't be coaching football.

Correct. Resigned as a teacher and as AD, will remain the football coach.

I’d be willing to bet that you don’t have an MPH in Epidemiology, either. That makes your opinions on the topic about the same as everyone else’s. Why leftists get so butthurt when people use objective data to disagree with them, God only knows. As for recruiting, anyone with a computer and 4th grade math skills can track this stuff. It’s not exactly neuroscience. Not my fault that objective data pretty clearly shows exactly the point Sixcat was trying to prove.

Having lived in Richmond and now South-West Virginia, I would take that as a compliment.

We're not suppose to play football either, in fact most believe that the state of VA's western border is Salem. SWVA is just an imaginary place to those who live east of Salem. A lot of people also think SWVA is full of uneducated people who can't read or write, and don't know diddly about football. Been that way for years, even the VHSL has a hard time accepting that our high schools have a football program. lol

Great research — Another UVA grad really maxing out that ‘Southern Ivy’ education. Ha! You missed WR Peele, Navy commit and though CJ is going to Coastal, he had ACC offers that he left on the table. Either way, my only real ‘argument’ is that the original assessment on the status of 757 youth sports (offered by sixcat) is a little dated...not entirely inaccurate. As we’ve discussed relative to SWVA, talent is cyclical and yes, the 2020 757 class wasn’t loaded, but there are still lots of big time players in tidewater. We have seen a couple guys get pulled to IMG or other football factories, but for the sake of VA football, I hope that’s a quick trend... It’s funny to me that guys sitting behind keyboards in SWVA doing research on 24/7 and VB Mustangs website can offer such informed opinions.

If preseason polls determined the actual winners, Duke would have 25 national titles in basketball.
