Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 You may not like him, but Darren Reed wouldn't have allowed a thread to decline this far. EH31, Blue Cannonball and Grapeape 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 On the auto racing forum that I frequent, we have a HOF (Hall of Fame) section for the best of the best threads and we have a SOS (S--- of Shame) section for the worst of the worst threads. I recommend we have a section for those here and this thread is the first entry in the HOF section. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#BBN 128 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 haha you are forgetting how good his old days playing and coaching....... I hope someone brings Gate City back, it used to be a fun game to go and watch and was a good rivalry game at one point, now to most people it is a win marked on the schedule.

If anyone else has success, he and a few others just try to tear it down. I do know that he was wanting to help Coach Reed at Abingdon. How is that for sour grapes? He got fired.

UnionHokie 0 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Has anyone thought about Mike Rhodes former D-coordinator for Union and current Eastside head coach. I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure he lives in Gate City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, he's coaching at a school with very nice facilities in the Cumberland District. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SavageSam 6 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Reading this thread makes me feel sorry for whoever takes this job and tries to rebuild it. Keyboard coaches who are to sorry to get a degree and try their hand in coaching think they know everything. Here's to hoping GC goes 1-9 forever! #BBN, Ryan4VT and Hokiebird7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why hire someone with a 4-7 head coaching record? He hasn’t proved anything. You roll the dice when you hire a guy like that, a lot like the Akers hire and here we are 3 years and 24 losses later. Why would someone go spend money to get a degree and take a coaching job for it just to be pay cut? Grapeape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC will be the #6 or #7 seeded team in the 2019 Div 2 playoffs... where they will get smoked by Graham, Richlands, Union, etc. & that’s ok. Before Reed retires from GC he will win a state title (As they more often than not tend to do). That is reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you blindly believe in your family, even if the evidence doesn’t quite fully support your argument.
