Pretty much. If u can put together a good year or 2 it's so impressive u can get a good job when one opens up
Is it a place where coaches go to Die? Young coach takes job, doesn’t win, never gets another opportunity to be a head coach again?
It's high risk job lol. They had longest losing streak in NC until last season. Even leaving coach didn't get a good job with North iredell. It was bare minimum of a step up
How’s it a high risk job name one good coach they have had since Chip English who had turned it around left for Alabama. The problem has been the coach’s they are hiring. They don’t know how to block and have no discipline that comes from coaching. I don’t know who has applied in the past and that may be the problem but Mike Biggerstaff built a good program at West and it’s never been the same after his departure. And how would the coach that left get a good job when he was like 10-80
not knocking coach English but he came at great time and got a good group of kids that had won at every level, those types of athletes are not walking the halls of west right now prime example look at basketball we’re struggling to get players for that. People on the outside thinks it’s the same West Caldwell but unfortunately it’s not right now. With that being said I hope they make a good hire with the understanding it will take 6 or more years to get things moving in the right direction. To be honest they might not be a winning program in the whole school next year.
It's high risk because If a young coach takes the job and kids still don't perform. He sets his career back years. Pyland had the best season West Caldwell, has had in maybe 7 years. And he was able to make almost parallel jump to another program.
Pyland won 2 games one against Avery County which won 1 game all year and Patton which won 1 game all year. That’s nothing to brag about. The problem has been the caliber of coaches they are hiring maybe that’s all they can get if so that’s sad. And Monte Simmons was 3-4 in 20-21 so he had the best year of the last 7.
Still coach English teach them to block and tackle he was not real good on discipline. And I agree he had a good group of kids. They are talent at West but when you keep hiring coaches that are not very good all the talent is going across town. And the hiring of Tony Pyland that had a record of like 9-79 how smart was that. Now they are losing basketball talent because of there bad choices in the hiring of a football coach. I think one of the problems and maybe the biggest problem is the continuous bad Administrations at West but I could be wrong.
Pretty parallel job as far as quality but North Iredell May pay better
