Colobro to Science Hill?

**661** · December 27th, 2006, 05:04 PM

the rumor mill is churning at full force on the notion that Nick Colobro is on a very short list for the job in Johnson City. who else is ready to be a Hilltopper?

I'm surely not a big enough Nick fan to be a Hilltopper, sorry. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

it would probably be a great move for coach, especially financially. i'd say he's got enough years in to retire from virginia. he could retire and draw his pension, go to tennessee and coach, and get paid again. plus he's accomplished about all that a man can accomplish at gate city, and along with the fact that it may be a few years before gate city can compete for a state championship, i'd say it would be a great move for him.

I would wish Coach Colobro luck, but it's not the Gate City Colobros but the Gate City Blue Devils where I graduated. No way I could give up that tradition and pride.

The biggest thing here is that Tennessee pays your insurance after you retire as well and he could work there 5 years get retirement in Tennessee and have insurance.

Exactly. It would be the same situation as Coach Richards did.

Coach Nick is a class act and if this is true, SWVA will lose a good coach. Did the Gate City fans give him a lot of grief over this past year? If so that may have influenced his decision. Any way best wishes to Coach Nick.

Gosh, I sure do think it would be a good move fer everyone....except SH better be ready fer 3 running plays and punt team....

Sometimes Nick will try some trickery and after they run the ball inside the opponents 20 averaging 7 YPC he will throw 3 passes and pooch kick. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
