Next Appy Coach ?

Bobby Sanders is qualified for the job, hes a [censored] fine guy. I would still do anything for that man to this day. I think hes the best to take over at Appy. I dont know which years exactly, but I know he was at Appy for a while in the early 90's and was part of 3 or 4 of their state titles. He didnt have anything to work with at Coeburn, and had to deal with all the parents. Its just my opinion and I know it dont matter to anybody else, but hes the winner.

I have no problem at all with Bobby Sanders. He came to Coeburn with a bad taste in his mouth after getting shafted pretty good at Lee High. I think he would be a good fit for the job at Appy he has their system in his blood.

I don't think Sanders really has the presence to be a good head coach, he wasn't too impressive at Coeburn. I mean, the guy didn't say five words at practice, from what I've heard

From what I was told by talking to Bobby this isn't much different from what Tom did at Appy. Bobby let his coaches do their jon and coach, he went from group to group and keep an eye on prgress he did step in from time to time and take over a drill or add to a drill, but for the most part he did what a head coach should do and that is let his assistants take care of practice and keep things going per his schedule that he made up and gave each a copy before practice.

IMHO Bobby Sanders will be the next Appy Head man. Is it possable that the chance to be the head coach at Appy is the very reason he desided to leave the Coburn job?

Sanders looks better in Appy blue. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I don't have a horse, or in this case a dawg in this race, but it seems to me like Travis should at least be given a chance.

**imported_Counts** · February 23rd, 2006, 12:23 PM

I can see how Travis would be the sentmental fav BUT how would he be a better choise for the head position than Sanders? (This is not a knock on Travis who very well may turn into a great coach himself)

I didn't mean I thought he would be a better choice. Sorry if it looked that way. I am sure the most qualified person will get the job. That program has too much tradition, I hope, for anything else to happen.

I think if you compare the records Saunders is better than Sanders. Saunders is more of the smash mouth type.

That being said I wish we had Coeburns play book at Kelly my senior year.

Why? Does he have the experience to be a head coach? No one should be given a chance if they don't have that experience. I don't have a dog in this race and I don't know if he has the experience. I do know that he is a young coach.

No names being mentioned, b/c this came from inside sources, and I was told to not mention any names...... A current LPD headcoach has also applied for the job.
Its actually one that I hope like h#%$ doesnt get it though.
And theres one applicant from outside of the LPD.

with all of this going on, I've been told that Coach Sanders will take over as headcoach, no matter who applies for the job. guess we'll have to wait and see.
