Anybody know what is going on there? That is a lot of coaches to leave in a short period of time.

Good Luck Sam. I know its tough to be the Head Coach at a small school when you have small children. I think Sam wanted more family time and that is very honorable. I know exactly what he went through and family always must come first. Good Luck to the Tigers and you guys have a good one on staff if you give him the chance. Good Luck Sam and hope everything works out.

Where is Dade County? There is always a reason a coach leaves, eveybody has to do what is best for them and their family.

Is Coach Taylor the next head coach? He would do a great job.

Thanks, any reasons for the turnover in coaches at Whitwill. There has to be some reason,maybe just a hard place to win, low pay, or just not a great job.

I don't think it is a bad job. It is a small school and many coaches leave small schools for greener pastures. I know Sam left on good terms and should do well in his new endeavor.

Are we 100% sure that Coach Montgomery is going to Dade Co? Talking to a Dade County assistant yesterday, he was unaware that Coach Montgomery had joined the program.

In my opinion, Coach Green should have been allowed by the school board and superintendent to be both Principal and Head Coach. Coach Green brought Stability and state playoffs to the Whitwell Program. I say LET HIM COACH! None of this would be an issue and we would not be having this conversation if they would have allowed Coach Green to remain as Head Coach.

Can't do both one job would suffer.
