YES, YES, YES. Someone finally made the man go!!!!! I'm so excited for the possibilites in store for Richland over the next couple of years. I just hope the administration looks as hard for a good coach as GC has over the years. I hope they don't just fill the position with a "good ol boy" but really really search for a good coach! It's time to do your job men and find a man who knows how to coach--regardless of his name or where he is from. Thanks in at least getting Taylor out of there!

All his crap was really getting old wasnt it? I'm so proud that Giles County finally made this man resign! Go Richland Raiders---we are so excited about the thoughts of a real coach coming in there and turning this program around in the next couple of years!

Ask the Assisstant Giles Co. School Director Would that be Debbie Braden? Isn't she the asst. to mr. Jackson? Is this the "fishy" part of why Taylor has been allowed to coach for so long? I do agree that athletics can bring a school down because there is less school pride....no bragging rights....kids find other things to do. The school system there HAS to do it's job and allow this program to be built back up!!!

Oh, it is fine with Giles County. Always has been. Back in the 80's, there was so much anamosity coming from the rest of the county because Richland was in the front seat. Always made me chuckle because the local paper would have G.C. on the front page detailing how close the G.C. game was even though they lost by 40 while richland was on the third with a brief mention of their 40 point blow out. All of the commissioneers and school board members are G.C. alumni or their kids attend G.C. that was 20 yrs. ago!!!!! Couldn't this be viewed as some kind of "incompetence" by the school board for allowing this man to coach this long with a losing record? I don't care how much they "love " GC, shouldn't they be required to provide a competent person to coach the football team? If he were a teacher, and his test scores were as low, wouldn't the state come in and put him on probabtion or something? This whole scenario just doesn't make any sense. A coach with his kind of losing record usually isn't kept on board for as long as he has been kept. Just smells fishy!

Another losing season gone by. I hate it so bad for the players who have gone through here over the years. Why why why does Giles County continue to let this man coach?

With no chance for playoffs, no one there cares. I do care for the player's sake, but always have and that is why I have been so adiment that Richland find a new coach. Let's just focus on a new year next season!!!

Congratulations to mt. Pleasant. I hate it for our boys that they couldn't win. Maybe when staff changes are made next year things will be better.

You all will win big. Richland's coach has no magic tricks to pull out of his bag. Congratulations MP!

fbman44 I don't care who you are.... whether it be the coach's son or the director of schools...doesn't matter to me. This board doesn't regulate who can and can't post. We all have the right to free speech. I'm glad however that you do feel we need a new coach. As far as "getting over it"??? NO, I will not get over it. As far as being "goofy"? What is goofy in your mind? Is stating the facts goofy? Is the fact that Richland has moved to Class A and still only won 1 game this season goofy? you keep saying there is nothing we can do. Why is that?? what do you know that we don't know? I will always state the facts on here and the facts don't lie bro. One more thing that is bothering me--I was looking at school web pages here on Coacht earlier, and all had pages set up except Richland. Giles county football has a real nice page.. When I clicked on Richland School's name, there was a BLANK. do you have any idea how upset that made me? No one at Richland even cares enough about the players to have information about them posted on coachT's list of schools sites. What does that say about pride? Just another example of some people there thinkiing that anyone who REALLY cares is just "goofy" I guess.

yeah he is. You all will see tonight when we play. Just watch him and the stupid plays he calls. Thanks for the offer on a coach, but we can't wait 4 yrs. You boys from Richland play hard tonight. WE are all for you guys and not bashing you all at all as some posters are trying to make it sound. It's the coach that we are unhappy with and hopefully we can get that changed for next year.

footballman44 has lost his mind. I have never read so many conflicting posts in all my life. Make up your mind about who you are and then be consistent on here with it. I have been very consistent in thatRichland needs a new coach. period!

Wow, you have the same kind of attitude as the coach don't you? You think you know that I haven't talked to Taylor? I have talked to administrators too over the past couple of years, but just like you, they are all either in denial or could care less. Unbelievable.... And then you say not to complain about what we have as far as talent goes? Remember Bo Wallace? yes, he moved, like you want everyone else who doesn't like Taylor to move.... Easy solution for a bad coach so as to not look bad huh? So as to have an excuse! Bo is a great player and I've never heard him complain about being treated bad at Giles County.I don't believe he's ever been called a >>> idiot, etc.... In fact, he and his family know that he would have never been as great as he is without the coaching he gets from those at Giles County. At Richland, he would have been left alone on the sidelines during practice to come up with the plays for the coach cause the coach doesn't know how.. There has been some really good talent come through Richland but their parents weren't able to just up and move like Bo's were, so don't be blaming the loss record on "no talent" You are sounding more and more like coach Taylor everytime you get on here. Excuses, exuses.... What is especially interesting is how you seem to know that no amt. of complaining will do any good.... You must already know that Taylor has that job for as long as he wants it due to kissing somebody's tail.... I figured this all along, but it's interesting to see him come out through discussion on the boards.

I HAVE talked to him and to the administrators about him and it was a complete waste of time, so dont even bring this topic up again. As far as you going on and on about how "hard" the job is? Yes, it IS hard for someone who doesn't know what they are doing. A person who is good at what they do gets up each day and does it with syle and is successful... A person who is trying to do something they don't know how to do will fail and will have people like you talking about how "hard" it is. Again, Don't tell people to take their children elsewhere. We demand Richland takes this "coach" elsewhere.! We are parents who demand the same kind of coaching as GCHS has... Why should we settle for less???

has this game been cancelled? Is there something I don't know or is it that no one cares? No body is writing about this game..... your thoughts Mt. Pleasant?

Oh my goodness. This post is supposed to be about the game--the game that was lost--another game in a series of games that have been lost. This has nothing to do with former players who never got to play--and more stupid excuses for coach taylor... This has only to do with the win/loss record of the head coach at Richland. This is about Richland football moving into Class A this year and still not winning! Everything else you are talking about football is personal. Let's stay away from the personal and focus on the record!!!! The record has been on the loss side of the column for way too many years. It's time for a change..

Mt. Pleasant by 3 touchdowns. I just looked up Richland's standings in Class A and they are ranked 71st out of 80 teams in this class. I thought that when they changed classes we might see a better record from them.

Another loss for Coach Taylor. What does this make his overall record now??????

this is the most sickening statement I've read in a long time . You have insulted the real players here, the ones who really want to play regardless of who they know or who their daddy is. And I would like to know who the other coaches are that people are wanting to get fired? I haven't heard of any in the past 5 yrs. other than Coach Taylor... If Pulaski would allow a new coach to come in then we certaintly could "see how he would do big shot." As I've said before, it sure couldn't be any worse than it is right now. At least if they did lose, they wouldn't have to listen to Taylor's foul mouth!!! I've heard him say the "G D" word so many times I want to throw up. That should be grounds for dismissal regardless of the horrible loss record. We aren't the ones giving Richland a bad name. It's the football coach who is giving them a bad name.! !

I'm seeing some new posters on here this week, and they seem to be making excuses for Taylor.. I don't understand why. Yes, true talent has come through in the past few yrs. and I know what those kids are saying today about their past coach and it isn't good. None that I know have anything good to say about Taylor. I don't even want to begin to start a page on their comments so I'll just let his record stand as eveidence!!! There are plenty of young coaches out there who would love to come in and take over that program and make it great. Unfortunately the school board is making excuses as to why Taylor should stay and they arelooking at people like us on here as just being "poor Richland" supporters. My goodness people,,, we aren't stupid. only 1 game won this season? And what was the record last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.??? The school board is incompetent in this matter and you new posters can make all the excuses you want but we Know what we have and what we don't have, and we don't have a coach!!! Columbia Academy by 3 touchdowns!!!! Sorry boys, I really would like to see you win, but your coach doesn't know how to make it happen for you.

Of course, keep Richland's name in the subject heading when you mention Coaching problems...

We haven't broken any rules---- I've seen a lot of stuff written on here over the yrs. that was horrible, and nothing was ever said to them..... just start a new thread with a different heading such as: "Coaching problems at Richland" or "What criteria makes a good coach?"

I am wondering how we are off topic too. Richland lost again--this time by Collinwood. There is a huge problem!

"continue what conversation"? I didn't know I was having one with you. I'm not having a conversation with anyone here in particular, but do wish the school board would take notice! I've only stated the obvious, and that is Taylor's horrible record as coach. You ask what I think the record would be if there was a "good coach" there? WEll, heck, it couldn't be worse than it is right now could it? As we've stated over the past few weeks, 16 yrs. is too long to let the community and the players suffer from a lack of football coaching skills on the part of someone hired to lead the football team. If they don't want to re-leave him of his duties in football, then put him in charge of the softball team or basketball team or soccer team. My goodness, give us a break--we are fed up and tired of being chosen as the team to play for Homecoming!!

he's killing all of us. He doesn't know how to coach. How many times do people have to see it to finally believe it??? He's a football idiot!

Congratulation to you all!!
