In not as big a blues fan as I was. And if wells does get it I will be less of one lol I thought giving up 10s of thousands in salary to go to Richlands would be crazy but someone said money isn't everything. I guess he & his wife want to be near family. I also heard he was making a couple requests if he did come which one would involve in part creating a new position. I don't know if my buddy at high school knows what he's talking about but we'll see I guess. I'm also thinking he'd bring in some of his own people. I think one guy has been with him at Blacksburg & Mooresville. If that's not right, someone can correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
local_insight 146 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 From what I hear the money will be matched but he will take on more rolls than he currently is. Now he Coachs and teaches a weight lifting class before school in North Carolina. At Richlands he will coach, AD, and teach a subject. Also heard there will be coaching staff changes. He request to make his own staff with only 3 current coach's staying. That's the word on the street at Richlands high. Jags52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 2000 73 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I’m hearing a few others will be interviewed as well. I’m certain that at least 2 staffers have applied. I would think these guys will get a look. I can’t believe that wells is a lock. He would have to move , take somewhat of a pay cut and possibly have more teaching responsibilities. I assume there will be a couple of scenarios , one of which is continuing the search if wells doesn’t get offered or accept the job . Other than wells who else is any one hearing is a strong candidate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris will be getting a raise. I heard the subject he wanted to teach was weightlifting ALL day & not a traditional class. That would be technically a new position. If that were to happen, I would presume, Tazewell & Graham would also add such a position. I can't imagine he'd want AD responsibilities. Heck from what I heard Ann Mance has been doing it all, I'd just let her keep it, lol since she's staying put. If they accept all his "requests" he'll be taking the helm. Which three coaches is he planning on keeping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now take it for what it's worth which probably isn't much, lol. The question is if it's Thad Wells, does he keep any of the current assistants if so, who? Or does he bring in his own people. I’d subtract a hefty percentage from that. Of course Richlands would offer; they’d be dumb not to. But there’s 0 justifiable reason besides “he’s from there” that’s he’d leave the Mooresville area. Would be a massive coup to get him, but I wouldn’t assume this until it’s formally announced. sixcat and Gridiron60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, nothing is formal; some say Wells, some say Compton. I think application closes next week. They may "interview" and hire at the board meeting in March; Definitely no later than April. 7 on 7s are in June so surely you want someone in place ASAP.

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Been hearing that Wells was offered the HC along with the AD which will enhance his resume for the college level. Also heard that he plans to stay in Richlands for at least five years before moving up to the college level. If all this is true (and really who knows) I wish him and his family the best. Also heard that he plans on keeping three of the Mance assistants and make changes to match his system. Everything we hear is speculation and cannot be counted on until the final decision is made, of course. Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru Blue 72 423 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Question: If a person takes the HC and the AD position plus teach a class, does he get paid for both the HC and AD position? I know in the past schools had both HC and AD as single positions. Just wondering?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in the past schools had both HC and AD as single positions. Just wondering?? Typically, the AD has several periods unencumbered to attend to AD related duties. Technically, they're getting a salary just like any other teacher with the same number years experience to teach half as many classes plus get AD stipend. Not a bad deal really but I guess it evens out because they have to be at home sporting events after hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone took the HC position combined with the AD position, I would imagine that would be a good rate of pay. The work load of the AD would add time, but don't a lot of HC's do both, especially on the high school level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else might have more knowledge than me about how the majority of schools handle the AD position. I would also think salary schedule for different positions is on the Tazewell County website or if not, should be. Tru Blue 72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excluding Bland, every school in the Mountain Empire and Three Rivers has a dedicated AD that does not coach. Bland very well could as well, I just don’t know about them.
