Some obvious holes in your plan, there. He's 66 years old and hasn't coached in 27 years, 28 by the start of next season. He never once managed to last 3 years in his brief coaching career without being suspended or fired. Not sure how his past transgressions help anyone from out-of-town respect the Blue Tornado? Likely the exact opposite. But for sheer entertainment value, what the hell? Hire the man. Should be a hell of a ride. Could even lead to threads that rival the one about Chris Akers.

I don’t know about that. No one ever explained the staff turnover and results of the second tenure. I’m not inferring anything, but reputation is important and more so than wins. Hypothetically, what am I teaching my children about life lessons if I knowingly choose to select a leader who (like it or not) brought a level of disgrace? If possible, based upon the information available, I am choosing the person that does things the right way AND the results translate into wins.

tornado99 345 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I would look to someone to first, and foremost, instill values of discipline, hard work, and teamwork. Next, I am looking for a strategic decision maker. Those coaches/candidates are certainly out there and may have applied. It’s going to take a good staff working together.

44cov3 55 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Maybe someone should scrounge around and see what Mark Dixon is up to these days. I know he stepped down at Pulaski for heath concerns....maybe those have subsided and he's ready to rebuild somewhere like he did at Galax. Now that would obviously intel that people leave him alone, give him the keys to the car and get the heck out of the way. Just a thought, but heck who knows he may be on a beach somewhere enjoying his NFL pension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we will soon see, evethough they should ride the short bus, they think they drive a BMW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,718 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Arkansas has rehired Boby Petrino, not as HC, but as OC. Only rule is....he's not allowed motorcycles this time. Richlands could replicate and simply put in a "no control over equipment" clause with Vaught. stu_bean, Ryan4VT and redtiger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
