cavdaddy 25 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 One thing is certain Matlock is not interested. He has a chance at winning state this year and if not, this year, we do next year for sure. No chance would he leave here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornholio 10 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Corney you are right Cwood does have alot better program but VAHI has the money so any coach would be interstead. Scammell doesn't need the money..............he won the lottery years ago and owns property in Grundy and Abingdon. Heck, he could probably buy a football team and coach it if he wanted to. Are the Volunteers for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontierman95 10 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 One thing is certain Matlock is not interested. He has a chance at winning state this year and if not, this year, we do next year for sure. No chance would he leave here. You are right...Holston and 15 other teams have a chance at winning state, but you have to get through your region, then get through Burton or Clintwood (which won't happen) and then probably beat William Campbell (which will kill every team in REgion C and D by 30-100 points). Hey, but good luck with that. If Matlock is smart, he will ride his success at Holston to bigger and better places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six4three 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 guys, Matlock has just happened upon Holston at a good time. he's very young, no track record. They are in a good run of athletes, happens at Holston about every 15 years. He's done a respectable job with them, but geesh, he's not yet in the top 50% of the coaches in SWVA. that's not to say that he won't ever be, but a couple of good years doesn't automatically make you a good coach.

Are you discounting what he has done? He took a 1-9 team that graduated arguably the fastest kid in the state, not a lot of coaches were knocking the doors down for that job. Then he took a group of players and made them a team! Being from Abingdon, I know Holston has always has talent. By basically saying that whoever they hired for the job could have done it takes away from the great job that he has done. Also, I believe that he is building a track record. I hear people say on here all the time that it takes coaches a couple of years to turn things around with new systems, he did it immediately with a new system. Also, I've seen what he does off the field for his players while he was at Abingdon, and hear it is the same at Holston, and regardless of his record that makes him a good coach, and I would rank him in the top 50% in SWVA for sure!!!

Great Post! In addition to this, he is positive with his players and they respond. The previous coach was constantly negative and showed favoritism. They didn't respond. Coach Matlock has been upbeat and positive; it has made all the difference. His players would go through a wall for him and so would I!

wildcats55 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Saunders would be logical choice. He has turned bad programs into good ones. Would be hard for him to leave where he is. They are going to be really good next yr . Young this yr and done well. Would hate to see him leave valley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Crue 49 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I don't see them hiring him. He is very controversial, i think he is a great coach, but controversy has followed him everywhere he's been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconfan1 125 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Great Post! I agree! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! I would never sit here and say that he hasn't done a great job. He has by all means! There are a lot of people on here that do not realize that he has an assistant coach that has been a successful head coach for several years, not to mention that he has coached on the college level. I am just curious to see what all you people will say when the wins stop or he can't make it out of the first round of the playoffs. Might want to hold your opinions until after Friday. I think that you will get more than you bargained for from East Mont. Edited November 12, 2008 by falconfan1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcats55 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I only know of one thing that was controversial about Saunders and when the old super left Wise they asked him to come back to Wise. I know he is very happy here at Valley. He has done things here at Valley that no one before him could do and he does not have much help.There is no controversy here and he has done none. We do not want him to leave and we think he will stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo77 10 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 It has been posted on the CMD board that Saunders has requested interview for the VHS job. This from a supposed friend of his to hook him up with AD at Virginia High School. All kinds of rumors flying in down in Bristol. Some posters and Friend of Saunders keep yaking about it. Some one posted the VA HIGH has not posted the job yet. If he is having success at his present school with good teams for future why would he want to leave?

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Rumor has it that VHS principal Martin Ringstaff has a short list of candidates as follows: Brad Hess Chad Vance Barry Alley The fact that these three gentlemen are old drinking buddies of his is purely coincidental.
