Who will replace Dawson?

[WPWells]

Glen Rose will be looking for a new coach, but it won't be because Kehner took another job. Unlike GR, Nashville has at least a shred of class

[nuttinbuthogs]

it sounds nice up front, but it is very difficult for someone to come home to where they played/graduated and be a head coach, a lot of extra pressure on that person.  Buddies asking them to make sure their boy gets PT and such.  It can be done, but most of the time it is not the best situation.

So you think the parents don't ask coaches for their kids to get playing time unless they went to school with them, yeah right. But you are correct, hard to go home.

Completely the wrong interpretation.  It is much easier for a coach with no connections to say i won't work that way as opposed to telling your buff from high school that lives next door.

[nuttinbuthogs]

I don't think that is any harder than telling an old friend I can't hire your son because he doesn't have the appropriate skill set for the job.  If you have the best interest of the business or team at heart you make the proper call and tell whoever you have to, NO> Never said it was easy but that it happens everywhere.

[SGT.HULKA]

Here's how sure I am that it won't be Kendrick: if Greg Kendrick leaves for Nashville, I will leave Fearless Friday

He's gonna leave, probably sooner than later. He's much too good of a coach to be a Charleston lifer. You gotta accept reality on this point. No disrespect to Charleston but that's the nature of small schools.

[nuttinbuthogs]

The reality is Charleston is the only place this guy wants to work, regardless of a tremendous pay raise.

[SGT.HULKA]

you gotta be kidding me right? Say if Greenwood, or FS Southside, or Fayetteville, or the list goes on he says "no thanks guys, I'm staying right here in little ole Charleston cause I couldn't be happy anywhere else...." You can't really believe this.

[nuttinbuthogs]

Certainly not, sarcasm my friend.

[WPWells]

Sometimes it's about more than money

[nuttinbuthogs]

Yes, sometimes it is about the challenge of a higher classification, about seeing if you can do it on another level.  Moving up.  But the extra money doesn't hurt.

[nuttinbuthogs]

Besides, Charleston is losing a very important part of their success the past 3 years.

[WPWells]

Where have you been? We've had these discussions before. Charleston was good before Storey and will be good after Storey

[nuttinbuthogs]

  You think you have a QB that good for next year.

[polksalet]

What's billy laird status? Would he come back for one year?

[WPWells]

I didn't say that. Storey is the best quarterback to ever play at Charleston. Doesn't mean we haven't had good ones before and won't have another one soon. We won't have the wide open spread offense that we had the past two years, but Coach Kendrick won state championships as an OC running the midline option

[nuttinbuthogs]

Glen Rose will be looking for a new coach, but it won't be because Kehner took another job. Unlike GR, Nashville has at least a shred of class

Aren't you the guy who said something about not making comments about folks you don't know?

[nuttinbuthogs]

I bet the midline would look good at Nashville.

[SGT.HULKA]

We won't have the wide open spread offense that we had the past two years, but Coach Kendrick won state championships as an OC running the midline option

they ran the midline option because Coach Loughridge insisted that they do that. Kendrick wanted to go no huddle 4 and 5 wide from the very beginning. Now if you don't know that then you aren't as well connected as you would lead us to believe.

[WPWells]

Apparently you know everything about Charleston. I bow to your superiority because you know everything about the Charleston Tiger football program

[polksalet]

We have the perfect backfield for midline.

[WPWells]

And @nuttinbuthogs:

Apparently you didn't hear about last year's 3A state championship

[nuttinbuthogs]

I didn't comment either way about what you used to do pre-Storey.  Has nothing to do with whether the guys is looking at leaving or not.

[SGT.HULKA]

if you only knew how right you are. 😉

I have a very good friend that is the AD at an area school that would disagree with you.  He won't go to his home school, even though he has had offers, because of that reason.  I will take his word for it.

[polksalet]

Yep.......

With all of the pressures with the job, going into your old school just brings more problems. At Nashville it's many, many more problems. I wouldn't wish that job on my worst enemy.

ah, the young and innocent. it's always about the money in the end. just like a marriage. when money troubles walk in the front door love runs out the back door. listen and learn grasshopper.

Are we still discussing the Nashville hire?

Is Dawson even officially gone yet?

Cyclone Nation already has on its Facebook page the following:
"Let's welcome our new Cyclone Head Football coach Billy Dawson, his wife Karen, and their two children Luke and Rachel to Russellville. Coach Dawson is moving here from Nashville, AR. Go Cyclones!!"

[paraloma]

I would hire whomever Billy recommended. Then again, he may not want to do that.

[Maynard G Krebs]

Think "nepotism", and you have the new coach list pared down.

[intruder]

Seriously doubt that will happen. Scared to say won't

[intruder]

Ernest should be moved up.

[maxswine]

Ernest should be moved up.

I talked with him for a few hours a couple of years ago at the junior classic in Conway.  We talked about softball.  He is a heck of a nice guy. 

[paraloma]

Ernest should be moved up.

I agree.

Of the hometown guys, I think Turley is the only one that could tolerate the "pressure."

[intruder]

Turkey won't take it

don't hire a nice guy.

[Bigbossman]

I dont blame him.

[polksalet]

Michael Howard?

[intruder]

Nope.

[polksalet]

I've heard he's interested if he can sell insurance half a day.

[Clara Allen]

Just out of curiosity, does the Scrapper coach have teaching duties?  I know oftentimes, a coach in a program such as Nashville's doesn't have to teach in the classroom.  And Good Luck getting Kendrick out of Charleston.  I don't think he'll leave to come to HoCo.
