Thinking the new hc will not be from around here.Who do you all think is in the running to be the new head coach?

Yes I also heard that as well. Parents can make it difficultLovelace at WF should be approached. He won’t take it though. He knows better. Too many headaches. I hear parents at JF, the agents, are difficult to deal with. May stear many coaches away. Lots of issues dealing with race at JF currently goin down.

I hate talking "race issues" but I will say this. No matter what laws are passed, or who's in the White House, etc....., there will ALWAYS be a certain amount of "race issues". There's a saying....you can't fix stupid. We have tons of laws against robbery, murder, etc... and those things still happen everyday. Anything to do with race is amplified. Considering the amount of people that live in this country, and the vast array of different races, I don't think it's too bad. It's never going to be perfect. There's no excuse for any of it, but there will always be a small percentage of people that are racist.Race issues?! What’s the deal, saw Halifax County had a race issue this week. I swear there are more racial issues now than when I was in high school in the early 2000s.
Jf is a good job and they have deep pockets. But it’s late in the game so they may look in house when it is all said and done. However, I have no sources at jf. Bet they will reach out to the usual suspects and throw the check book at them. I would personally look for some young guy doing good things. Torrence, Smith, Bradley, Woody will probably all be checked for interest. I hope school systems are paying attention if you have a good head coach you should be working to make him happy. A good football program positively impacts about 100 male students directly and can make a tremendous amount of difference in the school. Not to mention how it can galvanize the whole community.
That is the talk. The got the field turf but never expanded their stadium like they said. The county can't provide money just for JF because of other other schools. I think they are referring to the parents who try to control everythingWhat would make you think JF has "deep pockets"?

Ryan is Safeties Coach at Elon now.JF has a bunch of solid candidates in house, no one with the success of Christmas, Torrence, Smith, Bradley, or Woody, but head coaching experience.
Landis - JF and Glass
Trent - Glass
Martin - Glass and Appomattox (asst principal I think, don't know if that would be allowed by school)
JF alum on staff, Grove would be probably be a great hire, but has other interests in off-season. Would he want the Head coach time commitment?
Same with Doug Jones. Works outside the school. Northside's Coach Fisher has made it work recently.
Others with JF ties:
Long, long shot- Hampton U Defensive coordinator Ryan Anderson went to JF. Does JF have deep enough pockets to get a D1 coordinator?
Appomattox D coach went to JF.
Alta Vista assistant wnet to JF, was former O coordinator for Don Rice at JF.
Ok thanks, didn't know about the recent move.Ryan is Safeties Coach at Elon now.
He definitely is!Ok thanks, didn't know about the recent move.
Young man is building quite a network.

Depending on which slanted news programs you listen to, it's either awful or it doesn't exist. Like most things it's somewhere in between. Again....300+ million people of all different flavors, it's never going to be perfect.You don't think its too bad..Don't know about that
What does their AD do? Do they have an AD?Every single improvement made to the stadium, Turf, field house and weight room was through private donations. (driven by Coach Christmas) Bedford County pays nothing. Parents, even those with "deep pockets" control nothing. The HC makes all the decisions.
Schedules games for all sports, puts fires out with a spray bottle, attends games as a trophy piece, and appeases parents. That’s all you can do in public education these days.What does their AD do? Do they have an AD?

The cavalier club makes that decision? InterestingDoug Smith is the Cavalier Club's first choice. They have met with him a couple of times. He hasn't decided if he is going to apply.
I heard he would never leave Appomattox at this pointI doubt Coach Smith leaves Appomattox for another high school job.
Never say never but I highly doubt he would leave for another high school job.I heard he would never leave Appomattox at this point
I agree but I was repeating what someone told me that knows himNever say never but I highly doubt he would leave for another high school job.
He does live in Bedford County. But that wouldn’t be enough to draw him from Appomattox. Coach Smith has never been about “the next big thing.” He is all about the right fit for he and his family.Doug Smith has done amazing things in the Appomattox community through the football program. JF getting Doug Smith would be great for that community, but I don't thing he'll leave Appo. Does he live in Bedford county?
He will probably get itDoug Smith informed the Cavalier Club that he will not be applying for the job.Their next choice is Jake Grove. Would be a great choice but really doubt he would want to deal with all the headaches that go go along with the job.
You could be right. I hate to say this but the talk is the parents try to control everythingI will say it again, I doubt jf gets a big name hc. Probably should go after a young guy. Doubt jake takes it because it’s a lot of headache and he doesn’t need the money.
