  1. The question for any job but especially coaching is why do you do it? I have seen a lot in my 60 years good and bad. The world has changed and in my opinion not for the better. So why do people coach? It has been discussed about older coaches and the new young bucks. Today is a different animal and some of our legendary coaches styles and attitudes would not get the admin support of old. I think we would be better off with the style of preparing our athletes for the tough world we live in and holding them accountable. But when the admin gives in the to pressures either from parents, central office or buddies that get in their ear it becomes more challenging for the young coaches. Have you read and seen videos of things that goes on at high school sporting events. It has become a crazy a world.
  2. WE live in a sad time. Unrealistic expectations and belief of a D1 player. Most colleges today have a recruiting coach.......for their own players to make sure they don't leave!
  3. Interesting topic. How about over the last 10 years? Who has a strong program, consecutive winning seasons/playoff berths? How about a program that was down after years of success and is on the irse again?
  4. Great topic. But everyone is talking about state championship coaches. I believe there has been some great coaches in our area that were at smaller schools and didn't have the resources or numbers to win a state championship but doesn't take away from what they put on the field. As an example with not any disrespect intended, Coach Robbins before PV did not have a great deal of success with W and L. Coach Colobro left and went 0-10 at East. Coach Cummins built a dynasty at Clintwood but could he have done that at Ervinton? I just wonder who through the years were great coaches that are not being mentioned in this diccussion. To me James Colley, Don Williams, Jimbo Adams, Kevin Saunders, Roger Rife, John Adams, Steve Wright is a just a few that I can think of off the top of my head that always produced great teams and played hard. Just food for thought.
  5. I think if you look at the ADM numbers Ph is far from being the largest 1A program. I am pretty sure they are under 400. I also think Chilhowie, GW are larger. Across the state there would be several more over 400 and closer to the 475 mark. Yes, East looked good against both PH and Northwood. Future looks bright for the Spartans.
  6. Twin Valley Dressed 14 and had 3 out with two more pickups from the rumor mill. Played hard and has a dandy little fr QB. Loss both but looked like they gave good effort. Eastside was surprisingly solid after last year. PH was huge and best team there. Hurley played hard and had their moments. Castlewood has a good Qb and good wr. Northwood had a bigger roster than expected with an athletc qb and solid rb.
  7. Wow! That would be a surprising choice. They haven't finshed a full season in 2 years and hire an assistant. According to the grapevine at least 2 proven former head coaches interviewed.
  8. Difference is Chilhowie had a young man that was heir apparent. I do think it was wrong if I heard correctly about bringing couple people in without a teaching job and wasting their time. money and effort. Especially that the experience level and success. What does Auburn's guy bring to the table? I wonder if they just interviewed local coaches not to repeat what CHilhowie did?
  9. When will it be announced? Maybe if they had a top guy that is why they didn't waste the other candidates time. Any hints on who their 'guy" is?
  10. Been quiet on this hire as of late.......
  11. Back to Auburn, what is the latest?
  12. 2019 QB was a transfer i thought and his leading reciever?
  13. So does Chilhowie go with Smith County Doss or homegrown Sturgill?
