Davidson Academy

[eers]

Why, where is he coaching now that would make him a good candidate for DA?

Gallatin graduate, played at TSU then 12 years in the NFL. Coached several years at Station Camp then to JP2. The man knows football and is a great motivator. Would be an A+ hire.

Bubba Spears would be a great fit.

Wonder if he even applied?

[eers]

Not sure. That's why I said I would call him. If you want a good coach, you may have to be proactive and make a call.

Any other names?

[eers]

Bryan Dupree. Coached several years at various high schools in the area. Has coached te last couple of years at a Sumner County MS. I hear he is ready to go back to HS and may have also applied. Would certainly be worth interviewing. Another coach tht knows football and coaches with passion.

Bubba Spears would be a great fit.

Bubba could be a great hire for Davidson Academy.  He is retired from Metro where he won at every school he was the head coach and that is not an easy task in Metro.  He may not require as much $$$ as most D2 head coaches & a few assistant coaches in D2 earn $100,000.00+ to coach football.

I really hope you are joking about Bubba Spears.

Did hear a former QB at MTSU may be a candidate. Not sure if he got an interview but was interested.

Davidson could do a whole lot worse than Bubba. You guys act like DA is a powerhouse or something. The small class will never, EVER be like it was when Paul was there. Those glory days are over. Just getting an established head coach to take that job will be a plus. I have seen your younger teams. Unless you get Ricky B.'s  contact list from him, it is not going to get better anytime soon.

Chief,

Think you would be suprised to know who has interviewed.  DA has some talent in the younger grades, and a HC that's entriched in the Goodlettsville and Hendersonville area could really market the school.  They haven't had a coach that's been able to really been entriched in the area that players, parents, and others have bought into since Wade left.  That's not the next 2 guys fault, especially this season where the guy basically had the job 3 weeks before the season.  While a state championship might be a reach, they could compete and get into the playoffs.   PJPII will never be able to compete at the DII-AA level, and Goodpasture football is heading into a disaster area.   I'm not a DA supporter, I just know of 2 candidates that have interviewed that are completely off the radar.  If they landed one of these fish, that program would have instant credibility at least from a coaching perspective.

Care to share who those are or at least give some hints?

 

According to people on campus there have only been 3 interviews and they will be finished with interviews next Friday.

I can think of one that would probably like to shorten his commute at this point.
