Is Chatham making a coaching change? Saw a few tweets by Coach Allen that lead me to believe that a change is coming.

Matt is a great man. Very authentic and sincere. He advised me of the move and thanked me for my support. I’m a huge believer in believing that God makes no mistakes. There’s something out there way better for him. I believe that he’s capable of taking over a bigger program in the 804 or 757 and win a lot of games by doing so. If GW wants to get over the hump, Nick Anderson should give him a call to rejuvenate that offense ASAP while he’s still on the market. James Monroe should also look at him to fill their HC vacancy! Chatham’s loss.Bad move by Chatham administration. Allen was building that program up. I wonder if the Turner incident had anything to do with the move.
Facts to everything. I’d love to see him get an OC position at a school in Danville or Lynchburg. Maybe he’ll wait around for a HC position. If he wants to leave the area, there’s always Harrisonburg or a james Monroe.Matt is a great man. Very authentic and sincere. He advised me of the move and thanked me for my support.

He’s extremely young (maybe 30 at the max) so hopefully he’ll get an opportunity to go get more experience at a Harrisonburg or even John Marshall in Richmond..He’s going to be successful where ever he goes. To do what he did at Chatham is nothing short of amazing!Facts to everything. I’d love to see him get an OC position at a school in Danville or Lynchburg. Maybe he’ll wait around for a HC position.

The politics of Pittsylvania County. Gretna and Dan River doesn’t seem to have the craziness that Chatham and Tunstall does.. Look how successful those programs are.Hearing they got rid of the basketball coach also .
Imo, GW should’ve took a look at Allen for OC. Allen x Jeb Byrnes = AT LEAST a 4D Region Championship.According to his Twitter bio, Coach Allen is now the OL/OLB Coach at Altavista
Who’s GW’s OC now?Imo, GW should’ve took a look at Allen for OC. Allen x Jeb Byrnes = AT LEAST a 4D Region Championship.
Not sure. GW scored a bunch of points and almost beat Dinwiddie running that beautiful Wing-T formation...then abandoned it for MV, Glass and Salem. Willie, Wesley, and Watlington ALL had a massive game at Dinwiddie. GW just doesn’t mix it up when it matters UNTIL it’s desperation time!Who’s GW’s OC now?

I think so but I’m not at Liberties to discuss.Has a replacement been hired yet?
YuppWasn’t he the coach at Carroll County for a year and then resigned?
Technically wasn't it a year and three games? So strange to abruptly leave after three games.Yupp
Well stated and welcome to the board. Not many fans from the 434 are on here.Technically wasn't it a year and three games? So strange to abruptly leave after three games.

There always seemed to be more to that story. The superintendent taking a leave of absence at the same time that Turner resigned as coach then the superintendent getting fired a few months later always seemed interconnected.

Chatham hiring a coach who had just resigned abruptly from his previous coaching job and had also resigned after the VHSL came down hard on Pulaski for illegal practices... Interesting choice.

I know Chatham did really well in the spread recently and had a JV team with a ton of athletes. To fire a spread coach for a ground and pound Wing-T guy is an interesting choice. Good luck to Chatham as I always cheer for teams from the 434 but this will be interesting to watch unfold. Jack has had success turning around teams after really poor seasons but this time he's coming into a Chatham program coming off a winning season and a playoff berth.
I also wonder how long Jack plans to stay around. He's pretty close to being able to retire and just left Carroll after 1+ years.
Sorry for the long post. I've been looking up stuff on Jack Turner since I heard the rumor from the kids not long after Matt Allen was fired. If I think of anything that I forgot I'll add it later.

100%correct they do!Who I am to say? But I just feel like they should’ve kept what they had in a young, innovative and stable coach. I wish Chatham the best, simply because I’m a homer, but I can’t say I don’t want to see Allen and Altavista to show them who’s boss. Pittsylvania County is extremely political and tends to stick with the good ole boy system.
