Heard it fairly straight that it was not renewed and that he was released. But don't know that to be 100% true.

this is starting to get ridiculous that its taking this long and nobody knows anything. They have selected a pope in alot less time before SC has named a coach. Hurry up and get it over with dang !!

Director Eldridge's contract with the OCBOE was not renewed. That'd be an interesting hire, but I see it as very unlikely.

The talk is three are gone. Plus talking to players, they say they are leaving also..

 

If Coach leaves for something better that is fine. If he takes some assistants with him that is fine. I am all for anyone improving themselves. As far as players saying they will leave, that is fine also. We all know these are young kids and would be upset to lose the only coach they know. Also, there is a lot more to "leaving" than just getting up one morning and say, "well I am going to another school today." Let no one fool you, Smith County is a VERY, VERY ATTRACTIVE job. I personally know several very good coaches who have been watching the situation here in Carthage for a few years, hearing that Coach might leave. Trust me, getting a QUALITY coach is not a problem. SC's reputation, facilities, community support, school support and 90 plus players out for football is unheard of in many communities. As for assistants leaving also, fine as they feel they are improving their situation also. What this does is allow the new coach to bring assistant(s) with him and make this hire even more attractive. If Coach(s) leave, good luck to each and we will move forward with new blood. The sky is not going to fall if we make a coaching change

 

LOL!!!!

Basil, you allright?

Im sorry but i just cant respect a guy that sits his players down at the end of a season and tells thim hey guys im not going anywhere. Just to find out a month later that their beloved head coach is a liar. Farewell maynord. You wont be missed by me you lying vermon.

[bigreid]

Well if you don't have anything good to say, then put it on the T.

[Hsfootballnut]

Exactly!!!! Love the smith co guys. Cant stand liars. If u lookin for other options dont tell ur guys otherwise. Be up front with them. They arent 3 year olds anymore.

[pondexter44]

What are those kids thinking ? Leave SC and ALL the perks and amendities ,indoor practice facilites.

 

On the flip side those young men have goals and dreams of one day having balls "GOLD ONES" and the chances of that happening are better on the other side of the river!
