    Butler open

    I never thought or said that it was a great hire. Videos on social media don't win football games. Stone should have been the choice.

    Just needed a bus driver with the talent Chambers had at that time.

    Do you really think the pool of candidates for those two jobs would be similar? I don’t.

    West Cabarrus gets new Coach

    When the players end up in an apartment by the lake, they don't have to worry about driving on I-77. Hough has had a ton of guys sign D1 offers, which helps them bring in the next crop of players. It's easy to see which position groups at Hough end up getting the most transfers in. From...

    West Cabarrus gets new Coach

    I would expect his record at West to be much closer to the record he had at Hopewell than what his record was at Hough.

    What does it mean for a coach to be a good “fit”?

    Many times the people in charge of making the hiring decisions don’t know how to evaluate coaching candidates. They don’t know football, they haven’t taken the time to evaluate what kind of program they want, and if they do know what they want it’s often very different from what the fans...

    Ballantyne Ridge HC Opening

    I don't think high school coaches blame kids when they leave. I think what makes the coaches mad is when players are given false information or encouraged to transfer (illegal recruiting) by coaches at other schools.

    Ballantyne Ridge HC Opening

    There are high school coaches with multi-year contracts. I know the head coach at Spartanburg signed a 3 year contract a few years ago when he first accepted the job. There may be others in South Carolina and other states, but I would guess that it doesn't happen in NC though unless it's one...

    Butler HC

    Palmieri and staff were great. This Butler group showed they could win with someone else's loaded roster, but they haven't done anything since.

    Maybe they need a new hype video.

    Ballantyne Ridge HC Opening

    I know he is going to college, but the fact remains that he didn't make it to end of year one. I am sure that he told the administration what they wanted to hear about building a program, so he could get the job. And now he leaves during the first year. Maybe the school will now be able to...

    Wow! The first guy didn’t even make it to the end of year one.
