Football Coach at PV

[joedirt]

Whoever gets the position (Travis) they will have some good athletes to work with. Things will get on track and they will be able to compete. We have to admit that PV has a heck of a schedule to compete in as well, I think this makes teams better when they play better competetion guys. I am sure the weight lifting program will be a high priority along with discpline to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done and do it that way all the time.

Once again I have nothing against Travis, but you gotta wonder why they even have interviews at all. I just don't see why he would get it over Mark. What a waste of time.

I am not ignoring PV's history, I said it will just be a footnote in history real soon. You have to move on. We do not get in a wagon train and go west anymore, we drive or fly. We don't have outhouses anymore we have indoor plumbing. Things change, the hell that has been raised just on this web site (about Wise County, and consolidation) would be enough to discourage anyone not to have anything to do with the mess that is Wise County. If you are a coach and want to move to job where you will finish 5-5 go ahead, but your telling me 5-5 is better because it is at PV. Come on man.

First of all I said .500 or better and second of all it is absolutely true that a .500 or better record at PV is gonna get you farther in the interview process than a .500 or better record at Coeburn and that is simply because of the history AND the schedule. May mean the difference between the bottom of the pile of resumes and the top.

Also, I never said anybody WANTED to get a job and go 5-5. If a coach is worth anything he wants to win every game.

And as far as your logic regarding methods of transportation and delapidated defication facilities, if you think that things have changed that much since the 1990's, I guess in 10 years we will be crapping in our cell phones.

On paper you are right Palmer is the man, but I guess that doesnt matter in situations like this. You are right in saying that the interview process is usually for nothing because they already have their mind made up, but they have to do the interview process.

Travis seems to be the popular choice as of now, is this fair to Palmer? I would have to agree with you and actually say it is not fair, but as we both know this is the way it goes. I feel Travis can and will do a good job and I also believe Palmer would do a good job. For that matter I think Morris would do a good job as well. The decision has not been announced yet so who know the outcome? I think it will be Turner, but it could be a shocker as they announce Palmer as new head coach.
