Wait until you hear the news that comes out tomorrow. 
 

This isn’t a Tazewell problem, btw. From what I’m hearing he brought it all on himself. 

This post reads wayyyyyy too familiar to what’s been going on lately in swva. Hope I’m wrong but, I feel like I’m picking up what you’re putting down.

Rich Valley hasn't won a game in 39 years... The ghost of Leon Noel couldn't resurrect that program!

Padgett is out at Tazewell?   Why????   Upset some of the Daddy Ball people?  Someone didn’t get a t-shirt or hat that they thought they should have gotten?

That’s actually pretty funny.

So, is the rumor true?

Does any other Tazewell fans know or have opinions themselves about what’s wrong from a long-term perspective with culture besides the recent disciplinary issues?

Tazewell hasn’t had a disciplinarian since  the 90s if not before. As someone mentioned before, daddy ball and favoritism showed its ugly head over the years and there was just nobody able to change it. I’ve been a long time supporter, member, parent, etc. but until someone actually manages the program from outside in, or inside out it’ll be a process to change. Fans/parents have always been there and showed up, that’s one thing I like about Tazewell.

The school doesn’t meet until 2nd Monday of the month I believe so any personnel changes would be posted next week I presume.

Rumor is Luke Owens is wanting to get back into coaching. Anyone who won at Central has to be great!

Had talent for a few years, squandered it but they were solid a couple times.

Why wouldn't he just go back to Central?

[Unchained]

Oh where do we start? Parents? Fanbase? Getting run off?.....:)

Do you intend for me to believe the Central fanbase is difficult?  I'll not have it, Sir!

You left off the #1 reason. The talent ran out.

I think it was a given that was going to Tester. 

[S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE]

Still would be a great addition as offensive line/ run game. Tester will be in wing formation but not sure how well that will go in 2D. Got some good young kids coming into 9th this year but not sure about upper class kids combined.
