SouthWest Edgecombe coach
- Thread starter MoDean
- Start date
That forfeit this past season makes sense now. He was already in bed with them lol.
Already have my nameplate made and cleared out space in the trophy case.
Well it's now official,varnell is the new head coach at Nash Central. One of the sentences in the statement in regards to his tenure at SWE was, "during his tenure, varnell built a strong and competitive program". Found that interesting. I'm sure some SWE faithful may have mixed feelings about that.

Inherited is what should have been said. Along with took a step back. Built lol. What a slap in the face to the Cobbs.
The county I’m sure has to advertise the job and go through an interview process. They can’t just say let’s hire this dude without going through the process.
Another interesting quote was "brings a proven track record of success, and strong leadership."
.
That's a mic drop comment lol. I saw some other comments about him that really surprised me
As I said earlier, the right person can really do well. Not to mention, there’s a a TON of returning talent.
They should be really good next couple of years. JV went 9-1 last year. It all hinges on weather or not they get the right person like you alluded to.
I don't think so. Not that I've heard, anyway. Players should recognize that Nash Central isn't gonna finish ahead of Rocky Mount, Northern Nash, Southern Nash, or Hunt any time soon. Nor are they a threat to be a top half 4A east team either.

Idk they may finish ahead of Southern. But yeah I can't see any leaving to go with varnell.
Surprised that NC hired him to begin with. When the drama happened a few years ago, I really thought Southwest would move on from him. He's a young guy, so I'm sure he's going to get better, but I felt he could've done more with some of the talent he had.
Heard from a parent of a SWE player today that depending on who the next coach is - a few players that played for Lee Gold at West Edgecombe could try to transfer to play for him at NE. I said that sounded crazy but she insisted it’s a real possibility.
With the way the 1A landscape is now, I wouldn't dream of wanting to play for a traditional 1A school, especially in the East. There's no shot. The 1A mountain teams may still be relevant, but for the most part, 1A isn't fair anymore.
This makes it that much more important for SWE to nail whoever the next head coach is.
I asked someone last night if they had any word, or heard anything, and they said essentially the same thing, that they hadn't heard anything yet.
maybe not, but his players from West loved him. As 18 said, that makes the hire that much more important.
There has been one person that applied that has over 10 letters of recommendation for the job from HS, College Coaches and Administration including past schools he worked at all stating his discipline, commitment, and compassion for the program and can unify the community and school. He is hoping for a chance to bring the program back to its 1980s statue and bring a offensive that will electrify the players and community with a fast pace scheme. Along with that he will bring coaches that have played at a higher level including college and NFL, along with ex players from SWE who all want to see these young QBs air it out and have a balanced offensive. I hope they give him a chance to rebuild the program and return it to its glory.
