David Martin Out at GP

Great point, whoever next better watch their back. They wont be exempt from the inmates that are running the jail

Unless your willing to offer over 100K you aint getting Wade. And that doesn't include the required perks. He and his khaki shorts might just retire at Ensworth. But you are right, heck of a coach.

[CougarPride3]

The best players were at Davidson when he won all of those state titles as the HC? Ensworth was loaded with talent before he got there and couldnt win until he showed up. Do you know what you are talking about? I do know Dorris and I also know what really happened at DCA. There was no raw deal.

Well I do know Coach Dorris and his family. There were lots of rumors tied into some truth. None the less he is a great coach. Division2 was super weak when they won state championships at Davidson. Unless you were there and present you don't know either!

[BigENS]

Now this is a topic I can get excited about! What happened to Martin was shady but it happened, time to move on. There will be a ton of interest in the job. Here are a few big names they might talk with;

Wade - Guy is a winner no matter where he has been he gets it done. And who doesnt love khaki shorts?

Crabtree - He will be all over this. Sumner Co. Doesnt pay anything and this is a great situation to be stepping into.

McNeal - Think he might jump at the chance to come home. He can win at Goodpasture.

These 3 would be the top 3 candidates on my list. Not sure how Dorris name was brought up? If you are gonna talk with him might as well call Coach Pack!

Wow, really! His name got brought up because of earlier post about former Goodpasture players, coaches coming back. Hope none of you guys ever make a mistake. You without sin shall cast the first stone. You obviously don't know him personally. That now he got brought up not to bash him. Again nobody can say he not good coach.

The Coach Martin situation is what is wrong with high school athletics. For a guy to win 3 state titles and be runner-up 5 times in 21 years, and "resign" is absurd.

[BigENS]

1. Spell check.

2. Fbboys =Dorris

3. He/you is/are not a good coach.

You guys can talk about coaches all you want. It's Peden. Decided weeks ago. But lets be real honest. When a big wig that basically owns the school and the admin that runs it don't like you then it really doesn't matter. Fact is the admin will not be around long. The people that backed him will get rid of him before too long in the name of "bringing the school together." Basically he did some dirty work for those that had an issue with the coaching staff. Now he can be the scapegoat. That fact that he doesn't see that says it all.

What happen to Dorris at DCA?

Sad for Goodpasture. Once a proud school with great tradition. Can't believe you would force Martin out, to hire Peden. But, it is what it is. Peden is connected with that Big Wig you speak of I'm sure, so that is where the connection is.

[JohnJohn]

I've heard there is a connection but again this is just from talking to folks that would know.
