Or just go off the word that a person's team's head coach said they read it? Not trying to upset you...just curious I've had many of them contact me and/or tell me through other means that they check out the message board.

We interviewed a lot of coaches for the podcast this year and a lot of them admitted they were on the board. We can also see emails associated with everyone’s profile. So sometimes that gives it away, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Fort's principal was the principal at Rural Retreat at the same time Akers was coaching at Rural Retreat. I have no insight into the relationship but it can't be a coincidence. Unless Josh Wingate didn't want the job, he earned the opportunity to have the interim tag removed and see what he could do with Fort's program. This will prove to be as bad a hire for Fort as Tom Hale. It's sad too because Fort has some ridiculous talent coming into the high school over the next couple of years. Just my opinion.

Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Akers did a fine job a Rural Retreat. He may do a great job at Fort. GC may not have been the right fit for him. Wrong place, wrong time perhaps? Not sure, he sure did get the blame for all of GC's problems. I guess we shall see if he was a big part of the blame, or just a small part of the overall problem.

SXSW 557 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Wait! What! This is so uncharacteristic for Reed, bailing on a team in the off season, he hasn't done that in like 8 months...LOL. Folks it's Darren Reed, he walks are around in a perpetual state of pissoffyness! Nothing he does would ever surprise me but I will give him credit he is well on his way to getting to coach every team in the Mountain District...if the rumor is true..and it has to be..it's on the internet!

I’m actually very interested in this. He was an unmitigated disaster at Central, but he put up gaudy numbers at Abingdon with Colobro holding his hand. He’s inheriting a .500-ish team that could go any direction, and his results would solve the riddle once and for all. barondawg77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Congrats to coach Reed, no matter what anyone thinks, I wish him the best. He has the potential to be an outstanding coach in the right position and I hope this is it. Happy for him and his family.
