Coaches on the Move?

[Sat_morning_QB]

I didn't imply that Phil and Dewey were at E&H at the same time, but there both were in the same Fraternity when each was at E&H.

I had always heard Thurman moved close to get GC job when Houseright retires my peep in Lynchburg and Roanoke said that two years ago, If Va. High had Lombardi, Chuck Noll, or Jeff Fischer they wouldn't win at V-High because there are severe problems at that school and always have been just ask around. If Robbins does anything he'll do a Colobro and wait for something to open up in Tennessee (rumor has several jobs being open) also heard Clark at D-B retiring and Thurman could end up there. Stay Tuned

Thurman will never be at DB..... get real..... Quarles, Rankin, Carter, Bullard, etc, etc..... DB job is a great job. The list would be long.... Big Money job..... There would be tons of people trying to get that job.

I didn't know Phil was a Gam.

My cousin who coaches at Northside told me that. I wonder if he was playing with me. I'll text him tomorrow and ask him. Billy hates GC we played them and beat them a couple of times in the 80's of 90's. He never lets me talk of it at family functions he played O-line at UVA he is much bigger than me.

Thurman might think that but Gate City does not want him.

Billy knows a lot of coaches from the clinics he helps teach, he doesn't really care for Thurman but he says he is good coach, maybe he may have worked at Va. High but they do have problems. D-B likes flash and a young coach with good resume' he can get job, you don't have to teach just coach and for 100,000 a year you wouldn't have to teach.

and for 100,000 a year you wouldn't have to teach.

$100,000 a year just to coach high school football?? Wow sign me up.

The principal at D-B quit over that a few years ago, Clark was leaving to go coach MBA in Nashvillie and the two schools got in bidding war and he stayed at D-B unbelievable and to beat it all my next door neighbors kid has to share textbooks because they don't have enough. They have spent ten million dollars on their football facilities since 2005.

My daughter goes to Gate City and she has one book out of four classes..... Something is messed up for sure.

I played for Wilson and Clark at DB. Clark is a great person. He really cares about the kids that play for him. As far as the money spent, to be fair alot the money if not all, was raised by Alumni for the upgrades to the facilities at DB. I hope Coach Clark sticks around for awhile. I would hate to see him leave. He is a awesome football coach and an even better human being....

If DB jobs does come open there will be a ton of names come up. Alot from not around here. Alot from knoxville area. I would like to see them go after Rankin if he did leave but if he stays around awhile I would like for Snavley at Happy Valley to get a look. He is unproven but played for Clark runs the same offense and knows the game. He won't get it but he is going to be a great coach.

I've got no problem with Clark or D-B, but man that's alot of money isn't it. I think priorities are wrong in many places especially sports. Clark is a good guy and very funny man, I just keep hearing his is going to retire if he does I hope he enjoys it.

I agree with you. It is a ton of money. Kids should have books in school. It is screwed up and it isn't right.....
