I cant say that I agree with that about Palmer. I am not saying he is or is not the best choice, but really he has had some pretty good teams at Ervinton and St. Paul, 2 of the smallest football schools in the state.Quote:

Hmmm . . . .:doh:Quote:

I brought up Ervinton because that is where he coached first and the longest. I brought up wins because thats what your judged by as a head coach. I don't think Turner is the better choice simply because he lacks experience. Why do you think Turner is the better choice? What teams that Mark coached didn't live up?Quote:

I personally say Turner, this is not based on his experience or wins, it is based on that he has great potential and kids respond to him. Now, Palmer is a great guy and is a good coach , so if he got it I am sure things would go well. i would say there is an 85% chance Turner gets it.Quote:

He must not be a ref.
No I am locked up in Wallens Ridge right now posting this.
Then if its what people tell you, then you really dont know how the kids react to him?
I have great sources, 100 % correct I would have to say. Does everyone know who you are on here or is your idenity a secret?Quote:

I hate to be the one to say this because I have the utmost respect for the Turner name, there is no guarantee that Travis Turner will be as good as Tom was. I also don't think Powell Valley would be a good place for someone's first head coaching job, especially when Mark Palmer, a successful, experienced, knowledgable and well prepared coach is up for the job. Just my opinion, as everyone seems to like to remind everyone else on here that we all have them and are entitled to them. ;)
Jesse Roberts is at Pound.Quote:

Jesse Roberts is at Pound.
After checking, the Roberts coach did coach under coach Mullins at coeburn for a couple of seasons. To my knowledge he is at Pound at the moment.
I've heard Phil has decided to come back.
I think it all boils down to this: They are gonna do whatever they want to do as far as picking the next head coach. There are the way things seem like they should go, then there are the politics that are involved. Palmer is clearly the obvious choice. But, who knows what they will do. I am beyond being shocked by things that happen in Wise County.
No, that is just a rumor.Quote:

The coach that coaches PV last will have a good shot at the consolidated job. Also, the second best football program in Virginia behind Hampton looks pretty good on a resume.
The new coach will be announced Tuesday morning--the new head coach will be notified Monday night.
