The real question is will they go back to the under center wing T or switch it up and go full blown air raid

I referring to the Lebanon situation and QB 1’s family says they are gone if the coach stays then that coach steps down.

This is insane and what’s wrong with sports right now you got kids quit because someone gets a job. People do not realize how hard it is to find coaches period! And we want to quit because someone is on staff. You already had one head coach step down because the star player wanted threatened to leave. It’s stupid back in the day your coach was your coach and you listened and got coached by him. If you didn’t like them you suck it up and play because of your teammates and love for the sport. And parents didn’t let them quit either

That’s what the article said multiple times

According to the article he had only been teaching and coach one year at wise and maybe one year overall I don’t think he was a coordinator I could be wrong. Nothing against the guy I hope he does well but it looks like they had to promote from within because there wasn’t any teaching job open. That usually makes it tough on a school to hire when the head coach steps down but is still teaching. If you are gonna have a multi state search you gotta have a teaching job open

Wow I didn’t know they had him for another year. However it is hard to build a team around one great lineman. Easier to do with a great skill player

I think they are going to have to move the lines for class 1 just to keep the classifications even right now Region 1D has 16 teams and 2D has 12 but Lebanon could drop down to class 1 at any time and enrollment for Richlands and Marion are dipping below the 600 mark for the first time in a long with the popularity of virtual home school on the rise. I know Graham is close to that class 1 line as well. I do not know what the other side of the state looks like as enrollment for class 1 but sooner rather than later we might be in a situation where 2D is down to 10 or maybe even 9 teams which would make the Region playoffs even easier to get into which I know a lot of people on here hate.

Chilhowie lost a lot more than people think to graduation especially up front. PH has been more consistent even though I’m pretty sure Goodspeed and Barrett graduate. It’s hard to leave Honaker off this list especially with the portal being wide open and Rye Cove had a hell of a year

I would say it’s hard to find a head coach that doesn’t teach 1. If they don’t teach they can’t be in the hallways recruiting 2. you better have a good paying job because the 5k-8k supplement isn’t gonna put food on anyone’s table 3. Very few jobs let their employees off at 3 so they can get to practice and games I know Palmer does it at Graham so their is an exception to every rule but I don’t know why you would want your head coach in the building

It has been 68 days since this job has been open the fact that it has not been filled should be alarming to fans and players. If they are hiring from outside there is a good chance the coach cant get there until the end of the school year but why wouldnt you go ahead and announce it so the guy can get to know his players even if he can be there in person. I am not sure when the next school board meeting is but it has to be soon. regardless they have let at least 2 meeting come and go without putting up a name. At this point it is a lose lose situation for who ever gets this job. The hire is probably going to look like a bad one in year one just because the guy is going to have 3 months to develop his players where everyone else has been working since the end of last season. Hopefully the patient and understanding fan base of Wise Central gives this guy some time and is not calling for his head after one bad season.

I would say they won’t make an announcement until the next school board meeting

It is usually the top 3 or so that get a second interview

I don’t know the landscape of WV football but I do know they have a great coach! Coach Taylor is absolutely a class act. He cares about the kids and does a great job spreading the word which is something that is lost in this day and age of high school sports. What other coach would wear a shirt with a bible verse on in during the playoffs instead of the school colors! That tells me that he care more about what happens in these kids life’s long after that clock hits zero of that last game. I would want my son to play for a guy like that over a coach that wins multiple state championship but the kids get nothing out of it. Princeton will be winners as long as he is heading up that program regardless of what their record is.

Saw where the Compton girl from Tazewell is playing softball for Tennessee High this year. Tazewell county is losing kids left and right

I’m telling you the lines for 1A and 2A are about to move because of virtual school after Covid so many kids especially at Marion would rather sit at home and “do school” online that physical enrollment at the actual school is way down. I’ve had kids tell me the virtual school is way easier and they would rather do that then be in the classroom. It happening all over the region and I really believe your Chilhowie Grayson and George Wythes are about to be 2a because they are going to have to drop the enrollment to keep everything somewhat balanced
