CoachedB4

I do apologize GOGMENGO if I offended you or Mr. Akers. I called Mr. Akers a KID because he is much younger then I, not because of his inexperience. Also, it seems to me like you have a problem with Mr. Palmer as well by your derogatory remarks about him. It also seems to me that your idea of an assistant coach and mine are two different things. IMO, an assistant coach should take the same approach to coaching as the Head Coach that he works under. That creates continuity and strong leadership and in Mr. Palmers case, just because some of the players like you doesn't mean you aren't worthy of a head coaching job. As far as credintials go, I'm not doubting any of Mr. Akers' but I do know that Mr. Palmer has some hisself including a four your stint as a DC with the short lived Barons semi-pro team that won the only four conference championships that were in. I'm sure both are very qualified but all I'm saying is don't put down anyone without knowing all of the facts about them which I do not have about either one.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with any comments that have been posted but here is what I know to be a fact:
1-Williams called most of the shots and didn't take many suggestions from the staff. (that didn't work out so well for him.)
2-I've heard some of the names rumored to be interested in the job and I'm sure that Carlock and O'neal will make the best choice they can. Regardless, there will be complaints about anyone they choose (by me as well LOL).
3- I don't know much about the Akers kid but have heard good things about what he has done at RR. He's a Graham/Carlock boy that knows the tradition.
4. I know Palmer well and he has been coaching long enough to deserve a shot at being a head coach if that is who Carlock/O'neal choose. Besides, one never gets HEAD COACHING EXPERIENCE unless you are hired as a head coach. Plus, the kids do like him, he is a Graham/Carlock guy as well, and he's young enough to have some exciting and fresh ideas. Also, I read on here people talking about needing to be a teacher to coach or needing to be at the school all the time, Palmer does have his teaching degree and all Tazewell Co./Graham has to do is throw him in a job. (I.e. William's old job).
