-oo- 146 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Mr. Oneal has temporarily been moved to the head of the vocational school in Tazewell. Coach Marrs has been suspended as A.D. Thats what everyone was saying at the school today. Idk if Doug is removed as A.D. but I do know that Mr. Oneal is at the vocational school and Chris Stacy (former head of the vocational school) is now temporarily the principal at Graham High. No one knows a time table on these though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just a quick reminder that Principal's contracts contains language whereby they accept reponsibility for the things that occur in their school. We will just have to wait and see what if any of the whole story comes to light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I heard about this today too. Just curious if these are temporary or permanant. If they get a new football coach.................can you say gold mine? The non-conference would be tough, but a shot at winning the conference year in and year out.

deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Ten years ago, who would've imagined Bland and Graham playing for the same trophy? And think if Pocahontas didn't close....that would've been a turf war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I hope this all works out for Graham for the kids sake ! Sounds like a good move for them so far, but the future will depend on the decisions that are made from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SB comment just opens the door to speculation in the community. Much better to come out with everything once the SB has taken final action.

-oo- 146 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Mr. Mike Blevins is the new A.D and I think that is a great move!! From what some of the teachers said about the meeting yesterday morning. Mr. O'Neil told them the news and had tears in his eyes and then he told them "take care of my children until I get back." So with that being said he might be back sometime, I'm not sure though. Me, as a Senior this year, want to get my diploma from Mr. O'Neil instead of Mr. Stacy. I dont have anything against Mr. Stacy, I think he is a great guy and a great Principal (he was assistant principal at GMS a some years ago) but I want my diploma from the man who has been there with us for 3 and a half years instead of getting it from Mr. Stacy who has only been with us for 1 semester. So, kick Marrs out and bring back O'Neil!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveEurkel 11 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Wow now that would really shake things up a bit, especially if they had to pay that money back. I wish they knew about how Doug has sent his family to nice colleges to play football but all the real athletes he had come through there sent them to slack a$$ d-2 and D-3 schools. My question is why not make Carlock Jr. A.D.? or make him the Head football Coach? He is one heck of a guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one heck of a guy If carlock jr became A.D and head coach graham would be back to where they were back in the day. i would know i played for him when i was in jv he is a hell of a coach. I just think he doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. he would always have to live up to what Sr done, thats alot of pressure for a young man. so if i wouldn't blame him if he didn't want the job.

Gman1986 10 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 First let me say I have no dog in this fight. I don't think anyone should speculate on criminal issues like that on this forum. People's reputations are at stake and it is not proper to speculate and pass on rumors and inuendo. I am no fan of the superintendent or the school board but they are correct in not discussing personnel matters publicly. I am sure if it was a criminal matter the people in question would have been fired....not reassigned. You can be sued for slander for making these posts so I would tread lightly. "I heard" or "someone told me" is not a legal defense. Unless and until these rumors are proven correct I would refrain from passing them on unless you enjoy defending those positons on the witness stand. Just a word to the wise.
