Next Appy Coach ?

I was talking about the Appy/Coeburn blue colors. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]I will just wait and see on the coach situation.

Current LPD Head coach? Well I am sure it is not Phil or Nick or Rick or Adams and I don't think it would be B.I. that leaves Mullins from Pound (I could maybe see that one) or Mullins? from Coeburn and I would think he would stay put since Coeburn will be a much more competitive team in 2 years IMHO. Outside the LPD coach could very well be anyone . I can't help but think of several assistant coaches that might at least apply for the job

I am going to have to agree with Mox and TheBeast on this subject. Bobby Sanders is definitely the man for the head coaching job at Appalachia. I'm sure that most are going to say, well look at his tenure at Coeburn. His first year he went 6-4, with one or two of the lost games being very close. He had talent that year to work with, the players on that years team had the "want" to win, and the work ethics needed to win. The following years he did not have so much to work with, or should i say this. He had players to work with, but not as many as he needed, and not enough players that gave a good [censored] about winning, just being on a team was enough for some of them, and that heppened for 3 years straight. Not only this, but he had parents that he had to deal with that for some reason thought they were better coaches then he was. Most of the Coeburn posters that are on here can agree with me on that, it was pitiful. So i for one would love ot see Bobby Sanders as the head coach at Appalachia, with the tradition rich football program at Appalachia, i know Bobby is definitely going to be a good fit with that program and will yield winning results.

I think Counts should take over the reigns myself!

Just think if he had the plays wrote out on the board and Phil walked in....he would never be able to figure out what in the world the plays actually were due to the spelling thing

How about Bill Housewright now at Twin Springs? Just some food for thought.

Housewright was a name I had kicked around with a few people I could see him there I also thought about Barry Jones

If Coach Housey goes to Appy I will instantly be a Dawg fan, has anybody heard if he was interested? Coach Housey is alot like Coach Turner, I know I'm biased but he is the best defensive coach in the state, Coach Robbins said one time in the paper that "he was alright as long as he could keep Housewright from getting in a rythem calling defenses, but if he's in a rythem he was a tough man to beat." My senior year we gave up less than a touchdown average on defense, several shutouts, and then lost to Brookeville, (which by the way that game was a joke) he is a great motivator as well. You Dawg fans would love him!

I think they will offer it to Travis.

Does anyone have any Idea of when they are going to name a replacement?

Heard through a few it may be before April or soon there after.
Currently two on the staff and two from outside may be the leading candidates. One coach from the LPD and one coach from outside the LPD.
Coach Saunders is not a choice as of now. He has and is committed to Shelby Valley.
