Dawson interviews with Russellville.

[scrapiron51]

Will Dawson return for next season? Great coach.

[SUGARTOWN]

I'm currently in Nashville, I'll try to get the scoop for you.

[OldScrap]

If Russelville hires him he will be gone.

[polksalet]

Boss man claims to have seen hembree in town.

[Bigbossman]

He was in nashville monday.

[nuttinbuthogs]

Coach likes a new challenge, but I bet this was more a case of them contacting him and so he went.  If it's true at all.

[intruder]

He interviewed per superintendent, published in paper

[polksalet]

Abshier coming to Nashville?

[WalterWhite]

Mike leach to nashville.

[~WPS~]

I saw Houston Nutt in town today.

[polksalet]

I wish.

[Bigbossman]

This thread is going to get very hot very soon. There may be some name calling and that sorta thing that goes on. I just want everyone to start getting mentally prepared for this. Hold on to your hat folks offseason is about to get real real interesting.

[~WPS~]

Yes it is.

[polksalet]

So Dawson is new hc at tech?

[scrapiron51]

He interviewed at Russelville High, nothing official yet.

[hogdiggity]

Will be official this week according to sources close to the situation

[polksalet]

When does Hembree start over here?

[Uncle Ivan]

Meh, Hembree interviews everywhere.

[polksalet]

I didn't say "interview".

[Hoophawg]

Dawson is the new HC at Russellville.  Done deal.  Trust my sources on this one

[hogdiggity]

Dawson is the new HC at Russellville.  Done deal.  Trust my sources on this one

And taking some coaches with him from what I was told.   BIG changes about to happen at Nashville. 

[Valleysports]

Congratulations!

You've been given incorrect information.

Actually let me restate that, there are two that I can see going, one from hs one from jr high.

[hogdiggity]

Maybe so.  Check your messages

[hawgfan15]

The most important assistant declined Dawson's offer and will stay in Nashville I am told. We will see how all of this plays out.

[Hoophawg]

Who would that be?

[polksalet]

It's a hillbilly soap opera.

[Valleysports]

Congratulations! 

What's the big shocker about a coach moving to another school?  Soap Opera - name calling - really?  Dawson is no stranger to Russellville.

[nuttinbuthogs]

This could be a really interesting move if it is true.  Dawson is an excellent coach and very detail oriented, successful everywhere he has been.

[The Coach]

Got a serious task ahead of him if this is true

[nuttinbuthogs]

I'd put money on a turnaround within the next two seasons if it is true.  Now that could mean 5-5 or 6-4 in year two if its really as bad as people say.  Looking at the last 15 the record is not consistantly good. Some real good ones and some real bad ones.

[hogdiggity]

I heard the money that will be paid to Dawson is an extremely large sum for an Arkansas hs coach

[The Coach]

It's a 5-5 job for the most part. Occasional 6-4, 7-3 yr possible but not the norm

[nuttinbuthogs]

You don't have much faith inthe talent in Russelville?

[The Coach]

You don't have much faith inthe talent in Russelville?

losing their better playmakers from this team and not a lot coming up combined with who they play in conference

[Valleysports]

I totally disagree with you The Coach!  Should be no worse than 5-5 (current schedule) on a bad year.  Don't forget, it hasn't been long since Russellville was the only 6A team playing in the 7A (7A Schedule). And making it to Qtr & Semi Finals.  They lost an assistant, who was the glue (obviously you know), and the program fell apart - with some of the best talent they've had in years.  Just having multi-sport athletes play football again will make a big difference.  What is it with Dardanelle Fans?  ha ha 

New coach will have to build program from Jr High up though!

They know that they will be just another team in 4A next year, and can't stand that big brother across the River might actually start making the playoffs again, and possibly become something other than a doormat...

[Bigbossman]

Just hold on it gets better.

[Bigbossman]

Before this all plays out, I'd be willing to bet this will be one of if not the longest threads of the offseason.

[Valleysports]

In that case - scrapiron51, how about spelling Russellville, correctly, in the title of this thread? 

[LJ06]

Dawson taking another job is probably worst case scenario for Nashville considering what they have returning. The next hire will make or break their championship chances for next season. Huge loss for the Scrappers if all this is true.

[HorseFeathers]

Valley didn't anyone tell you that Spelling had to be cut because the time it takes to do Common Core Math?

[Valleysports]

 

[WalterWhite]

Some of the prospective replacements that have allegedly expressed interest would be a great fit. Nashville doesn't have a bad track record with their hiring.

[HorseFeathers]

So is Dawson to Russellville a for sure thing?

The talent was better when they were going to the qtrs and semis then it is now. Asst coach was a huge loss. They won 2 in HS, what in jr high 1 or 2. I do think the 8th grade had a solid season did they not? What about 7th grade?

Either way Dawson has his work cut out for him if this true.  Should definately bring some life to the program.

[STUNNA]

Time for Perry to come back to scrapperville!!!

[~WPS~]

Time for Perry to come back to scrapperville!!!

Heck no!

[scrapiron51]

Not very familiar with Russellville, my fault I let autocorrect do my work for me.
