We got one over in Giles County that has had a good run. Struggling the past 5 years, but from start to finish, not bad by any means. Two things about this thread or points I take away. It's starting to become pretty clear by the evidence that it is tough to win at VA High and Tazewell and I'm not knocking the TTown or Bristol fans. It just is what it is in football. From Paul Wheeler to Burhead Bradley and to Crist, it ain't easy to win at VH. Look at the success those coaches had away from VH. With Tazewell, Allen's record speaks for itself now at Galax. The above doesn't mean any coach can Never win at Tazewell/VH now or in the future in football, but it does suggest it just ain't easy to win there in football. Baseball is a whole other ballgame for both schools, consistently good for decades.

Sounds like a plan. My prediction is based upon what I think, is that he stays put. I haven’t talked to him in a while, but it’s not so easy to pick up and move when you have a family to think about, even when other family is involved. Hypothetically, if a choice is to be made between spouse and child vs parent or sibling, it’s wise to choose the former. I continue to wish him success in retirement no matter what he chooses. I would happily welcome him with open arms if he chooses to return.

I’m gonna throw out some dark horses here. I feel like we have named all the obvious ones. Tiller has done a good job everywhere he has been even though he hasn’t stayed long. If you take away the 0-10 season his first year at Fort his teams have been playoff teams every year with a few deep runs just no state hardware to speak of. I’m not sure if Fort was his first head coaching job or not. Chris Akers has a legacy on this board already but he has done some good things on the field. Playoffs both seasons at Rural Retreat with one win. Gate city was just not the right fit for the guy but still made the playoffs his first year. He was right at 500 at Fort but his best years have been at Holston 26-10 with a region title in 3 years

I personally don’t believe we’ll have to 😂. I think he stays put.

Can we pay him NIL money to stay put?

Yeah, I understand the portal and COVID year, but I was wondering why if he had those offers, he didn't sign? If the FBS offers aren't really committable (I can't imagine the Navy & Army offers not being committable), then he shouldn't hesitate to go with an FCS or DII program and try to work his way up. Mizzuruh's 1st team AA RB came to Mizzuruh from DII Truman State. That was a rags-to-riches story if there ever has been. While Clements may be lacking something or some things that would make most FBS schools hesitate, it'd be a travesty if he didn't go somewhere and get his start.

If the end game was to coach together again, wouldn’t Coach Davis have just stayed at Graham? I could be wrong but I just see Snake as being too loyal and dedicated to just up and leave Graham.

its more about the parents than the players!!

Very hard for any High School kid to get a D1 scholarship at any level with all the 6 and 7 year guys that got the extra year from COVID and the transfer portal just letting kids move where ever they want and when ever they want. When can only have 85 guys scholarships and you got guys thats are 26 still playing ball taking up one of those if takes one away from a good high school kid.

As far as I know he has UAB, Florida A&M, Army, Navy, LIU, Morehead St, a few D2 offers like Concord and Emory.

In my opinion, With the talent coming back, Graham may put out one of the best defenses since back in the 80's. Hard to think he would walk away from this.

If the VHSL has an opportunity to screw something up, they will.

Yeah the 5 tournament rule is killer. Not a fan of that at all, especially if your team has a handful of girls on it. You’re forcing them to pick between a girls tournament or being with their team fighting for tournament titles.
