formerblazer Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 All I can say is things aren't always as they appear from the outside. Well all I can do is look at the records and accomplishments and take your word for it. The way things sound, the community didn't take a liking to him and he did not get along with the administration at the school. Other than that, looking at how many kids are coming out for football and what was going on there, he was a success and will probably be grabbed up pretty quick somewhere in the area.

The Hill Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Is 17-16 successful? Looks to me like mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerblazer Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Is 17-16 successful? Looks to me like mediocre. Please remember, ...it's Happy Valley... look at the full program from history and yeah, that is compared to what's what. Plus he wsa in the playoffs and had a conference championship under his belt.

lllllll Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I don't care who you are .500 ball is mediocre! And going to the playoffs with a 5-5, 4-6 or worse, people shouldn't be happy or content with that. And if you are happy and content, the program will never get better. But, in Happy Valley's case, it is more than wins and losses. And Verran is being a a-----e about the situation he has found himself. Does he think he is the first coach to be fired? He should keep his mouth shut and move on. My opinion, Verran is just hurting his future in coaching. By the way he and ONE of his coaches have reacted to this firing is dishonorable. Sending text messages to players to leave HV and go to Elizabethton is NOT COOL! Verran has got the best interest of the kids and the HV program in mind? I THINK NOT.

I can agree that that'll hurt him in future coaching. Whatever does happen it sure has been kept quiet in anything having to do with the press. This happened right before Spring Practice so.....do they already have a new coaching staff picked out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighSchoolFanatic Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Any word on who Central will hire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat100 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Central named Jeff Fox,a former middle school coach,a couple of weeks ago. No word on who the assistants will be. Coach Winchell will probably be back as his son will be the starting quarterback at Central again this year. Probably one of the best quarterbacks in the region,just a great athlete. If I hear any more I will post it. If anyone else knows anything,please let us know. Also hearing all the assistants at East are going to stay.
