Moore County is looking for a new Head Football Coach.

[raiderfan12]

coach Austin is a great football coach and even a better man.  He gave everything he had to the kids and the program.  no one loved moore county more or gave more.  two years is never long enough to prove your value as a head coach.  everything now days has matriculated  into the same thing as the pro game and the college game.  If things do not work fast, get rid of the coach and give some else a shot.  People do not get into coaching to get rich.  Jeremy will have left in his six years there having affected lots of young men and women in a very positive way.  A football coach is just like any other job except it is spot lighted on 10 and if you happen to get lucky 15 Friday nights each year in the fall.  Many do not see the sacrifice that each coach makes to his own family and he helps raise and turn boys into men.  For every hour of games played under the lights there are hundreds more in the weight room, practice field and at home in front of a computer or a tv watching film of the next weeks opponent.  Just like everyone I know no one ever wants to lose and coaches do not get into coaching to ever lose, we all hate it.  So whether coach mac comes back or it is someone else it is still the loss of a great guy and a fantastic football coach who happens to be one of my good friends.  The life of most coaches is a life of a wanderer, some by choice, some by circumstance.  Bear Bryant, who my son is named after, said there were only two types of coaches, those that are fired, and those that will be.  We live in a magical age of twitter, blogs, insta- gramming in which anyone that can type can put up truths and untruths about anyone whether they have any truth to them or not.  So instant results are usually demanded and when not met dealt with harshly.  the only thing I do know is that Jeremy and his family will rebound and rebuild and someone will be lucky to have him.  That is what kind of person he is and the person that he taught his kids to be while he coached them.  He will learn and move on.

Great post.

Perfect Coach Smith! Spot on.

[Three2]

Let's review:

1) You have a teacher with 3's, 4's and 5's on his evaluations.

2) He has a winning record and makes the playoffs in his second year as HC.

3) He molds young people (both male and female) into responsible, respectable young adults that adore him.

But an elected school board of five choose not offer him tenure. This is the same leadership that removed him as HC of the girls softball team, (after being named District Coach of the Year and going to the state tournament) even though he was willing to be HC of both the softball and football teams.

It boils down to those that didn't like his selection as Coach Frost as OC, and the icing on the cake was that the starting QB was Coach Frost son, got their way.

So don't believe those that say teacher performance/evaluations/student grades are priority(see #1).

There are more politics in sports, than in politics.

Great post, Coach.... Sure wish things would have been different for Jeremy and you. And you both could still be coaching some Raider football. Edited January 15, 2016 by 79raider97

This happens at a lot of small schools.

Bring him on!lol I learn almost everything I know for him.

[volsrock]

rampage, your are right.  TJ Christian would be  a great coach for the job.  He has kids in the county and did a great job as a defensive coordinator while there.  It would be a huge loss for Franklin county because of his importance to the offense but i hope he does what is best for him and his family.

Bring him on!lol I learn almost everything I know for him.

You learned almost everything you know for him or from him? You might get your wish. He has inquired about the job at his old stomping grounds.

My bad "from"...He'd win there and I believe he would retire as a raider as he should.It would also make the Huntland /Moore co rivalry intense again!
