I fear you are right and, if so, it is a sad day for Raptor football. As for the teaching part, Coach Woodward is a great teacher. As for football, he was, basically, Coach Rector??™s asst. HC when he was there and no one is more perfect to lead the program than him. Nothing big against Coach Shuman, but he isn??™t Woodward. Not even close. I got on the phone and talked to several people in the RW community this afternoon and most were shocked to find out that Woodward??™s not one of the finalist. I think a lot of people just assumed he was next in line. There are going to be some very upset people in the community when this becomes official. This isn??™t a knock on Coach Aydelott or Blade, either. They are, I??™m sure, very fine coaches, but they aren??™t ours. Woody is ours and we want him. I know he and Vaden didn??™t part on the best of terms, but she should really put her ego and personal feelings aside and do what's right for the program, the school, and the community. Isn??™t that what leaders do? Someone with brain cells in the front office is going to snatch him up and it??™s going to be Antioch AND RW??™s loss. Whatever happens, good luck Coach. On behalf of your former players and the community - thank you for all you did for us, and if this went down the way I suspect it probably did, we're sorry - for you and for us.
