Appy Coach?

Lee or Appy?

I would hate to se Sanders go but IMHO Lee is on an upswing and are now the largest single A school in the state and regardless of how well he does at Appy he will never be "Tom" and it is tough following a legond

I think Lee will announce a hire on Monday. If they don't I'll be surprised and I do think it is his job if he wants it.

Assuming he takes the Lee job, who does that leave as the frontrunner at Appy?

Yes Wolfe resigned at Lee at the March Board meeting, well he was given a choice resign or be fired.

I had heard that a couple of Gate City Assistants were going to apply for the Appy job. Can anyone confirm or deny that rumor?

I've heard rumors of a gate city coach applying for the job.....Coach Jones, to be more specific.

If this is true, and he doesnt get it....then We've got some major problems at appy. I've always thought he was the main reason for the success at PV, and now at Gate City.

How about Reed from GC?

I remember when I was in Kindergarten at PV and Coach Jones was my P.E. coach... wow, those were back in the good ol' days! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] (If this is the same one we're talking about... big ol' guy, pretty muscular, bald, etc.)

He was definitely a pretty nice guy from what I remember.. I had no clue he had such an impact on the football coaching, however, as I'd never really payed attention to the coaches at the time.

Anyways, I hope he gets the job at Appy, because they need as much help as they can get after losing such a legend as Tom Turner.

If Barry Jones gets the job at Appy, one thing I know...the Dawgs will have a damm good defense. You can credit him with much of the success of PV's program during their heyday.

Barry Jones in addition to being a fine football coach is also one very fine man. It is a pleasure to know him. He would make a good coach for any team.

Yeah, Chubz, that's the same one. He's a great one. He can be red faced and mad as bull one minute and laughing and yucking it up a little later. My fondest memory of him was his crying when our senior bunch left the practice field the night before our final game. Great, great man. And yeah, his defenses helped PV win a lot their games while he was there. So he would be a BIG boost to Appy's D if he gets it.
