    Elkin HFC job filled

    I’m with you… I appreciate the conversation. I wonder if there needs to be rules set in place to help the situation and I know more legislation/rules almost never works out the way we want it too. I do wish we could get back to the days where recruiting wasn’t the number one goal of these...

    Elkin HFC job filled

    Yea, I wasn’t really thinking about that I probably should have said 20 years ago. My sentiment was really about how far Elkin has fallen. Not meaning to slight starmount. It’s sad that this is where we are at but how do we change it? I feel like there’s so much of the recruiting and...

    Very true… they’re not gonna win the recruiting battle currently. Starmount and EW both have better HCs and Coaching staffs along with better facilities and a much better record over the last decade. 26 years ago if you told me we’d be at the point where EW and Starmount where the class of the...

    Elkin HFC job filled

    Obviously idk because I’m not directly tied to the community. From what my friends who lives there is saying they are expecting a lot of their kids to depart for Booneville and Ronda. I can’t blame those parents for moving their kids if that’s what they do.

    Elkin HFC job filled

    They've started telling people. They went with a guy on the current staff. School board meeting tonight to officially vote on it. The town is extremely unhappy I wouldn’t be shocked to see certain people at the board meeting to voice their displeasure. It’ll be another 3-5 years of wasted time...

    I was just told that this entire process was a scam. They just wanted to appease the community by making it seem like they tried. I feel bad for the community. They are destined to continue to fail.

    Elkin HFC job filled

    The people I talked to thought it was down to two MA assistants one from the JK coaching tree and one who was a long time NS guy. Evidently it’s really leaning more towards a in-house hire at this point.

    Elkin HFC job filled

    Heard from some people in town the guy I was hearing didn’t end up getting it. Lots of frustration from some people in the community. Hearing the guy they went with is the opposite of what the town wanted.

    If it’s who I’ve been told then I am happy for elkin. If he can get what he needs from administration and community support I’m sure Elkin will be good again in time.

    If it’s who I’m hearing I think it would be a really good hire. Elkin needs the hire to be somebody who’s invested in rebuilding the program not just using it as a retirement job or a stepping stone.

    If they don’t attach the AD role to the next coach he won’t get paid for the extra responsibility.

    I’m guessing it’s less pay so older candidates may not be as interested in it but it could mean they are looking to go younger this time.
