SouthWest Edgecombe coach

[Otis1144]

Let's be honest ... Most of those people are black people happy that we hired a black coach. And a lot of them know Ward personally, since he's from Wilson. Being black myself, I couldn't care less. All I know is when he was at small Beddingfield, he did well. When he coached the big boys, he didn't do so well. Maybe we are the perfect fit.

The most important thing is who he gets on his staff with him. I don’t care how much football the head coach knows without a good staff he is a sitting duck.

This later in the season it will be very hard to get any assistants and especality good ones because most are already committed to other programs.

I have not heard about several long time assistants weather they are being asked or wanting to come on or be apart of new staff. I think it’s going to be a tough first year.

Who did they recommend?

Since you know them ask them but they are like most not holding a seventeen year situation against a young guy that applied but as so many others moved out of coaching into other professions mainly for the money to support his family but his records stand for themselves. Both as a player in HS, college and as coach at 3A and 4A schools.
