Per source, Meadowbrook (@MbkAthletics) has named Billy Rudd (CoachBRudd) as their new Head Football Coach! He most recently was the Offensive Coordinator at Matoaca. Rudd replaces Recharde Goodwyn, who stepped down after two seasons.

That's a great hire. He's a fine young man and was a fearless athlete. Wish Coach Rudd well. Tough job, but he played at Meadowbrook, so the vestment is there.

I don’t know anything about Coach Rudd, but I like that he is an alumni. He knows how the culture was, and I’m sure it will be his goal to restore that culture.

I hope that the AD and Administration will get on board and support the football program for a change. They, not the coach or the players, have been the problem.

Very hopeful Meadowbrook got it right - man, they were really good at one time...A lot of rebuilding ahead, but I too like that they went with an alumni...

Rudd was a kicker and punter at Meadowbrook. He also played goalie on their soccer team. He coached on a very young Matoaca staff for several years and those guys brought back some discipline to that program. I agree with @DinwiddieProud regarding the AD. If she supports him and lets him instill his philosophy the program will grow. He knows how to work hard, so that's part one of the battle. Getting buy in is #2. DP you met him before the Dinwiddie vs. Matoaca game several years ago. I actually introduced you to him.

football players have been routinely "moving out of the zone" so they can play football elsewhere so he has an uphill fight - that and the fact that a large portion of his student population is now hispanic.

Great points @EPJr. I certainly don't think Rudd can get Meadowbrook back to the top level; however, I do expect improved competitiveness, organization, and discipline. Best of luck to Coach Rudd, his staff, and the team.

I personally hope so since I now live near MBK and want to enjoy going over there to watch some games during the season.

Coach Rudd has created a staff made up of former players from those great days.

Coach built a coaching staff made up of former players from the glory days.
