swd 10 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I hate that like to have seen him make a couple more years, anyway he made there and won a superbowl.Do you think he will get into coaching here at richlands. Also what is your take on that(Him Coaching). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I don't really know him but I did meet him a few years ago and we chatted a little. I asked him about coaching in the future and he said he hadn't given it any thought. He didn't exactly rule it out though. Honestly, IMO, if he were to get into coaching, with his experience he would probably want to start at a higher level. I can't see him coaching at Richlands unless it was because he wanted to be close to home. Not that there is anything wrong with coaching high school, but they don't exactly pull down the $ he's used to. Besides, I don't see Coach Mance going anywhere anytime soon unless he chooses to. Compton spoke very highly of Mance by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 He's already put his 10 years in the league. So, he'll get his NFL pension. If he got back into coaching I don't think money would be the determining factor. I could see Mike being an asst. coach at RHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swd 10 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah I know Mance is A great coach. I just thought Mike would help him out. Which on the other hand the coaches at Richlands are doing a great job. But with Comptons pull the kids would get looked at alot closer for bigger colleges.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I would love to see it happen but I think we're more likely to see him on the staff at WVU than at RHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swd 10 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well we have one thing working for us his kids play here at richlands so he might want to coach them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be shocked to see Mike help out with baseball at RHS, either. He was pretty tough on the diamond back in the day as well. Good guy all around. Hope he finds happiness regardless of what future path he pursues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,452 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 i think some "finacial matters" would benifit more from Mike's help than his enlightenment on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] That's a definite possibility. If he were interested in working in Morgantown, I'm sure that it could easily be done. He was one of Nehlen's golden boys there, and I know that folks still think a lot of him. Mike's included in several "all-time" team lists for WVU.

Dawgs_CB_91 10 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Compton was a great player and I think he could teach the players some good things if he becomes a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
