2017 Football Openings

I've read that he has head coaching experience. Fine. What about drakeford? Has he done any coaching? Coaching & playing are apples & oranges.
The State article said he was an Asst at Kettle Run, Virginia and ran the local Boys and Girls club.
So what if he was an NFL player it doesn't mean nothing....being a coach is more than just playing DI, II, III, NAIA or in the League....just because you played doesn't mean you are going to be a good Coach....
Rimpf has been trying to get into SC for several years now. Its a sound hire, but I have to believe that there were applicant from SC that were more qualified.
As far as NC, they may as well make an outside-the-box hire. They've never been very good, despite having a good number of athletes.

Not quite in the same bowl of chili, but hiring a Boys & Girls Club director kinda fits in the realm of last year's Walhalla hire.
Nope, he said there was another job and that it would be announced on Friday.
Another Greenville County hire that is...so Greenville County. I can understand a A or AA school hiring a guy that is 28, but 5A? There had to be more qualified applicants.
This needs an explanation. Why leave Broome for a Greenville Co. school, much less Woodmont?
Price from NC won three titles in a row....announced his retirement yesterday. SC won't find a better person or coach.
Believe it or not, Broome might be more disorderly district wise than Greenville.
District 3 politics. He put in for every job that came open. Wanted to get out of town real bad.
A lot of coaches I know are screwed if playing in the NFL is going to be a prerequisite to becoming a head coach in high school football.
From what I heard this was a done deal before the job got posted.
There were. I know Barnes from Sumter and the OC at South Pointe were in the final four. What I've heard is the Superintendent wants to be able to say that he has hired three former NFL players as head coaches in his district. Makes him look good.
Sad. Experience playing in the NFL is zero guarantee one can coach. And quite often the opposite. Have seen it first hand where a truly great player couldn't coach a lick. Too bad that many worthy assistants that have paid their dues for many years get shut out by an administrator who thinks something like this makes him look good.
NFL is a LONG way from being a successful high school coach!
This should be put on a memo & be sent to every school district in the state.
LOL!
What is the time line on some of these open jobs? I saw that Joey Price from NC is looking in SC. He is a very good coach. When are interviews going to be held at Waccamaw and St. James. Could a seasoned veteran like Price win at those schools?
What is going on at some of these places? Taking a long time at Lexington. Aiken hasn't even officially posted the job and he resigned before Christmas!
I agree.....
... but it IS a message board.... and these places tend to be hyper-critical places full of know-it-alls and ticked-off parents. And maybe a few disgruntled coaches....
...fun ain't it?
I heard RNE hired their guy, then fired a day later after he Tweeted some players about getting ready for football. Anyone else hear anything like that?
