Powhatan Coach Jim Woodson Retiring After Season
- Thread starter blackknight_pride
- Start date
No, he has been at the school with the exception of four years in college for 44 years including his years as a player there. His wife retired a few years ago from Powhatan County schools as well and around the same time he gave up the AD position so it was only a matter of time until he retired. The move to the Dominion did not play a role just a realization that family is more important and after 40 years it was time to let someone else have a go.
Any idea who will replace him? Not positive but doesn't he have a son on his staff? Will they keep it in the family?
Not sure I would recommend that if it's being considered. Is there an example of that type of thing ever working (son follows the dad as head football coach)?
I can't recall any in football. Thompson's of Georgetown Bball and I believe Hurley's in NJ HS Bball are the only two that I can think of.
You got the Colonial Forge father son take over thing going. It failed for them at a previous school before this I believe as well
Failed for the Brown's? I think this is the son's 2nd head coaching gig. He coached at Freedom (Woodbridge) the first couple years it was open. Dad was a great coach at every stop.
Neither of his two sons coached football at Powhatan and only one played for him. I fully expect an outside hire to be made but do not have a timetable. I can think of three coaches off the top of my head who would be very interested in the job and would be a great fit for the program (two are coaching currently at other schools). However, I will not name the coaches out of respect for their current programs.
