Don't you DARE talk crap about a situation you don't understand. I'll stand by Duble until the end of time. That guy has things in his personal life he needed to deal with and I applaud him for taking the steps to better himself. 
Go away, troll.

As someone who fights the same demons he fights, I can understand why he did what he did.
Also, he left after the 9th game of the season.... in what world is that 3/4 of the season? He missed one game.

Sadly, some people call themselves die hard fans, but get butt hurt when their team is not winning, and stay at home.  Kids deserve support whether they are winning or not.  Fans complain about the kids that don't come out for football because of other sports, but then don't support the ones that have the heart to get out there and play and give it their all.  They also like to criticize the ones that do play for not being good enough, or not being tough enough.

First, I think Coach Colley is and outstanding coach.  Second, you people crack me up....
I am glad that you (Larry)  have a personal relationship with Coach Colley.  I bet he wouldn't know you at all.  The funny thing is, all you do is complain about throwing the football and not being in the T.  You wouldn't get your wish if they hired him. Maybe LHL's wish list should include a new baseball bat, the one he had in high school didn't work.

Get the **** out of here with that BS man. Just shut up. You don't know a damn thing that happened. Classless asshole. 
There's a real family out there that is grieving hard right now. There's friends and teammates that don't know what to think now that their brother and classmate is gone. And the LAST thing on this planet that they need is YOU coming on here with your BS Richlands hatred speculating on what happened. 
I wish I could say I can't believe you would do that, but sadly, this is right in your wheelhouse. 

as long as richlands does well, tazewell kids will too, just not in green.  lol

There sure is more to life, you're right. Maybe you should heed your own advice? You've been barking up Akers' tree for over a year now, and all it's done is begin to turn SWVA against GC's fan base. Which is unfortunate, because I've always had wonderful interactions with their actual fans. 
If you believe what you say, then does it matter if Akers is the coach anymore? Afterall, there's so much more to be worried about out there, right?

Maybe GC will win out, slip into the playoffs, save the jobs of Chris Akers &@TheRealLaneKiffin ... 😂

I do know this much. No amount of complaining on an internet message board will help the situation. Each member of the school board has an email address. Not all of them will reply to you but there are a couple that will. Our youth football program numbers are down and part of that blame is on basketball. Not saying it as a negative. Just shows the great job our basketball coach has done over the years. Throw in the social media sensation we had the past few years on top of that. 
One of the things I try to do is talk to parents in my community about bringing their kids out to play football for our little league and travel ball program. Once in awhile I get one talked into it. For the most part parents I've talked to would rather their kids play any sport besides football no matter how much the child wants to play. 

Another suggestion by you that benefits Gate City 0%. 
Some people just don’t get it. 
It must be hard when you can’t see the forest for the trees. 

You are part of the problem in Gate City, Va. constantly out here making up excuses about coaching and how Akers and his staff are a cancer. 
The. Talent. Is. Not. There. 
Those kids bust their tails, and so do the coaches, to try and get a win on Friday nights. They don’t give up, which is more than you can say. You’ve given up on your team and town. 
EH31 is trying to make a point to you, and all you’ve done is make more excuses, and now came at him with a 12 year old’s version of a keyboard warrior threat. 
Wake up and see that there are about 10 circumstances that have led GC to what it is right now. 
Mac McClung is 100% near the top of that list. He made basketball cooler than football. Kids want to be Mac. There’s the issue with your little league. They don’t want to play football anymore because McClung make GC great at basketball. 
If you feel like you have all the answers, and you talk on here enough like you think you do, then go fix the problem. Volunteer to coach at any level. Go talk to school board members if you feel that strongly that you have a case. 
Otherwise, just shut up and stop spewing crap everywhere for anyone who will take the time to read on here. 
The world doesn’t revolve around Gate City football, man. It’s so much bigger than that. 

Your posts are always great! You have such overwhelming knowledge of every situation. Let me get this straight, because guys that coach aren’t from GC, they can’t coach. Harry Fry was from Lee County? I believe that is correct. Nick Colobro wasn’t from GC either. A few years ago, you said that Houseright didn’t need the job. Then you said he needed a chance. Make up your mind. How do you know that the guys coaching now don’t try to instill discipline? How do you know Coach doesn’t watch film or work at all? It is easy to sit in mommy’s basement and criticize. Maybe you should apply for the job, since you played there.  I guess that an “outsider” took the job to completely “ruin” the program. I very seriously doubt that too. 
I would bet that you were an all state performer? Hahaha! Nope! I would go out on a limb and say you weren’t even an all district performer. You have made the comment that you don’t go to games any longer either.  You know for someone that bleeds blue, you sure do nothing but run everything into the ground.  I saw where you criticized the basketball coach last year too.   I guess you got tired of taking mommy to the games with you. 
Just come on up to wine and cheese country on Friday. I’m sure you can find some place good to eat that your mom would like. 
 

Like I said, you should never be allowed to pick a coach.  Especially since you quit.
 

I don't think that the fans should ever pick a head coach.

HMMMMMM....unless he is catching a pass, you don't have to "throw a rb shirt on him in key situations"

Last I checked. They hired 5 assistants. Not 3. 4 of which, not 2 are on provisionals. #FactCheck

Who wins in a 100 yard dash? Cole Beck, who is wearing steel toed boots and carrying two 45 pound dumbbells, or Brady Hess? 
 
*edit for dumbbell 

Was a part of every State Team from 05-10
05 Was a good learning experience for both coaches and players
06 The talent got better from the year before and some players stepped up in big ways all year
07 Takheim Hedgeman just had a field day
10 Never could find a rhythm or would get out of one due to penalty or botched play
I seriously think 10 was the best team (and not just because I played) we had a massive line blocking for someone who didn't need much blocking , Def POY in Will Lowe, a hard hitting linebacker duo with Cody Thomas and Devon Johnson,  shutdown secondary with Austin Johnson, Bradley Strong, Jack Vance, Sean Overton, and Al Fajardo that I believe holds the School Record for INTs in a season (I know Bradley at least holds the individual record) and QB battle that any coach would love to be in with Lockhart and Reece Strong battling it out for snaps every practice. 
As mentioned above it did take a blocked FG to beat an 8-5 RC and came down to basically the last possession in the 10 State Game
