Travis is eating crow right now, he always said he would never be a viking no matter what.

As far as LPD team go IMHO Pound is the only team in which a coaching change would not shock me </div></div>
Why Pound? </div></div>
...because every year that passes that they don't win a state title in football the idiots that sat in on the present coaches interview want to run that guy off and get a new guy they can sit in on his interview with and then fire.
I wonder if this move shows that even Travis realizes that Appy's program is slowly crumbling to the ground? I could be wrong and it could be (and likely is) the fact that Powell Valley is simply offering him more overall, but it's just something to think about.
I believe he definitely made the right choice overall seeing as how Appalachia will be in a pretty dire situation this year when it comes to football. Not that I am a fortune teller or know exactly how they'll perform, but when you look at who they lost and who they kept - or rather who they didn't keep - it almost makes you wonder exactly what they'll do to stay alive this year and exactly how long it will be until they can rebuild the program.
Just wondering, but how much coin exactly could PV's OC position be worth? I always thought those type of coaching positions were just like pocket change for teachers and the only real money to be earned was HC positions.
Congrats to Travis. Any chance, not trying to start anything, but sometime down the road he replaces Robbins??

Id say its a very good possibility. I'm sure thats exactly what the brass at PV had in mind when they made this decision to hire him. It's not like they are easing him in, first year OC would be pretty tough coming to a new school especially one with the tradition of PV. Though at the end of they day they probably think they will ease him into a head coaching position someday. I guess we will know more after this upcoming season, to see how Travis helps them.
BTW, I keep forgetting to mention this but this was in today's Coalfield under "sports shorts", id expect an article sometime before August.
He wont be replacing Robbins, by the way what coach left for this position to be open.
You know, he may just be coaching where he can until he can get a shot at Appy. Wasn't it supposed to be that once Travis passed his big test that Austin was going to step down? Or was that just a big rumor? For that matter, did Travis pass that test? You can tell how much I keep up with. lol

Nothing specific but there were the transfers last season and more this offseason plus it seemed that there were alot of folks that wanted a different coach in the 1st place.
IMHO if Pound does not do better than 1-9 this season they will have a new coach next year (that is my opinion only I KNOW nothing LOL)
