If Science Hill hires him, Coach C is gone. When he applied for the head spot at CVC in 90 or 91 there was an assembly where he told the kids he might be leaving. As far as I know nothing has happened to that effect. When questioned face to face about leaving for Johnson City Coach just flashed the trademark grin and said "I don't think I'm what they're looking for."
I hope something can be worked out to where he stays at GC, one way or the other. As you all know I'm a Colobro guy. Its funny to me that I always seem on the flip side of the coin compared to other GC fans on this forum. I support Nick Jr. as the first choice for the job if the old man moves on. My second choice for the job would be Darren Reed. Neither of those options is popular on the board. My third and fourth choices are Gilbert Smith and Bill Housright. As you can see, I like to keep it in the family.
Maybe that is the source of another rift between me and the other GC guys on here: Barry Jones. It surprises me that this guy is so readily accepted in the face of, what appears to me, a lack of results. Now the first thing someone is going to say is that Coach C is an out of town guy. Whether he is the exception that proves the rule is something we will see in the next few seasons.
In a perfect world I would give the head coaching / offensive coordinator spot to Tony Martin. He is the determining factor in GC's 2003 state title. At the defensive coordinator spot would be Dollar Bill Housright. He is the determining factor for GC's 1997 state title. At any rate, if everyone on here knew Nick Jr. on a personal level and not from a fans perspective they would see that he is the man for the job. There is my opinion, stated and restated, and that's all I'll say about it. Respectfully, we GC guys will just have to agree to disagree.
