Football Coach at PV

**heneedsa** · January 7th, 2011, 06:22 AM

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.

But as for B.I. having no interest in sticking around, I think you are way off base.

I am 100% correct the words came out of his mouth directly to me in a conversation, even know the schools he is interested in.

either way, that's probably not something he would want you posting on here. I'm with Sportsman, don't think he's going anywhere.

I'd be shocked if BI left Kelly before consolidation.

Joe you can crap on whoever or where ever you want. I don't care. The Roman Empire fell, the Berlin came down. Do you honestly think that whichever coach PV gets matters. If they got Jeff Fischer or Knute Rockne the coach can't produce talent and the Vikings are lacking in that department right now, and also do you honestly believe that the Vikings in their last two years will be anything other than a 5-5 team. I don't think you understand the argument. It just doesn't matter who coaches them. Why don't you put in for the job, you seem to know that we will be crapping in cell phones in ten years.

awful lot of arrogance from a guy who supports two programs who are nowhere near as tradition rich as PV.

Every team has down spells. PV WILL be back if we keep a school, and they will be a top dog again. Its fun to kick a team when they are down, but just 6 years ago PV was playing for a state title and three years ago they were winning Region D and SMASHING GC at GC in the playoffs.

Personally I would think if Mark Palmer wants the job he should be given very serious consideration.

I don't think you understand the argument. And replying back to me with what I say to you doesn't really reinforce anything. So you think it doesn't matter who gets the job. It may not matter to you, and it may not matter to many other people. It will matter to whoever gets the job. If Palmer is offered the job, he will take it. And it will either be a stepping stone to the new consolidated job or to a better job somewhere else. I just don't see someone looking at a resume and seeing powell valley high school on there and laughing and saying "haha what a fool! nobody cares that you coached there! the roman empire fell! powell valley is a horrible job. now, if you coached at coeburn, let's talk money!"
