AHScoach 2 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I found this article very interesting. I hate it for him, he seems like a very good man from the article. I’m interested to hear Richlands thoughts? https://heraldcourier.com/sports/vhsl-ronnie-davis-resigns-as-head-softball-coach-at-richlands-will-serve-as-assistant-football/article_5e7bd57c-d855-11ea-ae52-77574a0bd419.amp.html?__twitter_impression=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mv91 259 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 The following quote surprised me: “I am not coaching football at Richlands simply because I do not agree with [Wells’] philosophy as a football coach,” Davis said. Gridiron60 and SXSW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells is changing the program down to the basics. What they are about to do is pretty far away from the Mance era. I hate we lost Ronnie. He’s a good dude and a good coach. But I’m so excited for Wells to implement what he’s about to do. fishfan and Bigrhsfan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfan 66 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Maybe change is not what he’s into, but apparently a lot of people are in Richlands. Anytime you can be with family and do what you want , you can’t pass it up. I’m excited at what Wells is doing. Ryan4VT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the brothers are happy to be together. Ringstaff isn’t much for making him choose between football at Graham & softball at Richlands but then again, she doesn’t have a very impressive track record. School politics, retaliation, & I’ll show you who’s boss mentality regardless of the what’s in the best interest of the kids does not make for a good administrator in my opinion.

Tony. Palmer seems to have a knack for snatching up Richlands’ coaching talent, first Snake & now Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a motivation or timeshare convention? 😋 I might be reading too much into his quote, but I thought the wording was the interesting part. He didn't say "Wells' football philosophy." He said "philosophy as a ... coach." To me, and like I said might be reading too much, it would indicate his problem is with HOW he coaches not WHAT he coaches.

There will be several Richlands fans who won’t like it either. But those on the staff love it. The players love it. And it’s worked in the past. I’m certainly excited for whenever we get to play lol.

thundercloud 179 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Should be interesting. He has matched wits with some pretty tough competition. The right change can be the edge, just as Mance's spread was. Ryan4VT and Bigrhsfan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, but I researched Mallard Creek’s schedule a little, and here are the Mooresville v. Mallard Creek football results for the last few years: 2019: Mallard Creek 24, Mooresville 7 2018: Mallard Creek 50, Mooresville 7 2017: Mallard Creek 27, Mooresville 0 2016: Did not play. 2015: Did not play. So Mallard Creek had such a “difficult time” that they held Mooresville to 14 points across 3 seasons. A whopping 4.7 points per game. Methinks you don’t know what you’re talking about.

local_insight 146 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 From what I have been seeing, Richlands players and staff are loving the new program. Tests on the playbook, and schemes. If they play you're gonna see a lot of tired defenses. Mance implemented some hurry up offense, but nothing like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, teams can adapt to it coming every single time, and that’s where the arithmetic breaks down. Wells is a good football coach, without question. But Jesus Christ he is not, and if Richlands is expecting 15-0 seasons in the near future, they’re sorely mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many of them are expecting 15-0 season anytime soon...just as most HS fans with half a brain don't expect their team to go 15-0...there are a few exceptions in the state where some years they have a good chance to run the table...but they are in the 757 and NOVA....and maybe Salem once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
