Its Official: Bobby Sanders named head coach at

Bobby Sanders has been named new head coach at Lee.

Derservingly so in my opinion. Appalachia missed the boat big time. Sanders will be better off in the long run IMO. Much more potential to make a big time name for himself at Lee.

I think he will do A fine job there IMHO Lee will be a much improved team over the next 4 or 5 years and a year in and year out playoff continder when they drop to A

This also may give Appy the closer it may have been waiting on before nameing there new coach

I agree Counts. I think Lee is on the road to having a successful program.

Was Sanders at the meeting? Show me where he signed to take the job and then I'll believe the story.

I think I read somewhere that the Lee School Board was supposed to meet either last night or tonight maybe??? Im not 100% but today is within the time frame for the announcement.

Bobby was probably not at the meeting, but he was named coach by the Lee Co school board. he did apply so I assume he wants the job. he probably has not signed on th edotted line so to speak, but that is just a formality.

Yeah, I know what they want, but is this what HE wants?.....You forget I hung around with Chris Days(Pennington Gap's last state QB , I'm thinking he QBed Lees first) father , Gary Buch's dad(sorry I ain't gonna try to spell all that) know a little about Don Williams, I can go back to the Rep party of the late 70s in Lee County. I go back farther than Sanders in Lee County, I was down there yesterday. I'm just saying it is a tougher place to coach than Appy.

I dont really know...but I cant imagine that it would be much fun trying to follow Tom Turner. Not to mention declining enrollment and as crazy as it sounds a declining interest in football in Appy. Of course the grass isnt always greener on the other side but in this case I have to say that the Lee job is a much better opportunity.

Well if he applied, perhaps he wants it, then again perhaps like everything else in Lee Co maybe it comes with an * . I don't claim to be able to speak for Sanders, it is just that he was promised things before, and didn't see them, and with the suits the Lee board is facing , I don't see much green grass. It is his choice.
