Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 5 minutes ago, Blue 72 said: So which direction do you think they are going? I think they would be well advised to hire someone outside of the GC extended family, and try a new approach. GC will always be a football town, and the right coach can bring them back to what they should be. GC fans are true to their team, but they need to allow the new coach and his assistance, time to bring them back. Wish the best for GC, but think they need to change the atmosphere with the HC hire. Good luck At the moment all signs point to Reed. Seems to be who many GC fans want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told Friday that Reed do not want the job! He said if he would have wanted to be a head coach he would have stayed at Abingdon, he has family issues and doesn't want the added pressure right now!

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 If Reed doesn't take the job, we're gonna have to get some professional counseling for Grapeape and Larry. No fly by nite Palm reader either. Someone that can get them past this whole Akers saga. Reed was the man that would have been able to do that.

Houseright, or Rhodes It’s one of those 3 We’ll know tomorrow night. The coach himself was notified today or will be today, from rumors I’ve heard. For the record, any of them will have 100% support from me. And I hope the rest of the GC community will do the same.

Hokie1Pokie 350 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Is that J Houseright as in Jake, the son of Bill? College experience doesn't always translate to successful coaching, but if Jake is the guy, intensity will not be an issue with Gate City. As far as defense goes, the dude learned from one of the best college D1/FBS coordinators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 11/11/2018 at 12:30 PM, Leatherhead Larry said: Never heard of him until he took the Eastside job. Looks like he was at Union for 4 years, coached line-backers at UVA-WISE, and coached at Appy. What am I missing? Something there supposed to wow me? On 11/11/2018 at 12:44 PM, Leatherhead Larry said: Just want the right guy. 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.
