My guess is that it will definitely be someone new to a Head Coaching position and somewhat local to the area in order to not have to make a move, because he is fully aware of what just happened and the Non-football emphasis. It's a circular thing. The program is very down with little emphasis on pigskin, it doesn't do well, games get cancelled, the coach leaves, and so the odds of at least having to take what may be considered a "gamble" on the New Coach is all you can get to come there. Hopefully though, whoever they get surprises. It gets back to that organizational leadership kind of thing. If you don't have "buy in" from the top of the organizational culture, it's very difficult to change that culture from below. The new coach has his hands absolutely full. Wonder if our AD would take it? Lol BandanaVTDavis4321 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TnT+h Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 It looks like they have a really competitive County with the other schools there. Hard to believe a school that good at basketball and track can’t field a good team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoard Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Another factor with Auburn is that the Riner area has become progressively more upper middle class over the past decade or two. While some of its attendance zone has always been rural, there are a lot of newer $300k-plus homes there and the vast majority are within a mile or two of the school. That’s an advantage a lot of smaller schools (like county rival Eastern Montgomery) do not have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't had a MS or JV team for a number of years. They dropped the last 6 or so games of the varsity season last year and played the final 3 games as a JV team, considering their roster was 90% JV age. Which is why a lot of people were upset with them. They knew the age of the roster well ahead of the start of the season. Coupled with the issues they have had over the past several years finishing a season, they should have played a JV schedule all season.

swvafbrespect Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Did they make any changes to their football schedule? Tough district with great teams and coaches. I would think they would lighten up the out of district games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandanaVTDavis4321 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 It's either Eddie Joyce, Harry Ragsdale, or Big Earl from Starsky and Hutch. Don't discount Big Earl's prowess, as he will install the "angry dragon" offense if hired. CPF and Gridiron60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
