I don’t think the school system is in financial condition to go after another head coach. Brewer will do a fantastic job there. I think he has been the head coach in waiting for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you would like to think it did, but once again you’re wrong. Nothing other than the administration in central office is the reason he left. Go back to the soccer threads with the other 8 people that care about that sport. Be careful what you wish for. I was here the last time a Davis left this program. That didn’t end well. Glad someone said it. Soccer definitely wasn't the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree I think Brewer would take the job if offered and wish him well if he does take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Dillard Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 5 hours ago, Blaster7 said: Hate to see him go was a great coach was a freshman his first year and after I graduated I started running the chains for him. Like I said great coach and even better friend. I have the out most respect for Derrick he is definitely going to be missed. Polk is heading in a rough patch I fear. What kind of mess is this? If that Davis man would have shaved that mustache he wouldnt have had to quit. I garuntee you if he coaches somewhere else they will make him shave that nappy looking moustache. You think im joking but im not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Davis will be sorely missed and it is a shame he was put in a situation where he chose to resign rather than have to continue to deal with upper admin. meddling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatwhite1 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) I was lucky to be at Polk Co. From 2009-2013 coaching baseball... those were great years to be a part of Wildcat athletics! All sports we’re rocking and rolling and the community support was awesome! I wish Derrick nothing but the best in his future endeavors! Edited January 4, 2019 by thegreatwhite1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAmbassador Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Polk had some good teams back several years ago. They beat the Pirates a time or two. Good luck to Coach Davis in his new endeavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone close to the program or someone from the outside know this is only the truth. Let's follow ole Chuck posts during this process. It will be interesting........NOT! I am not sure of any of the reported soccer issues not the exact problems with the Head Office Administration. I do know Derrick Davis.......Loved his alma-mater, coached his kids hard, got more out of them then they will ever know, well respected among his peers and absolutely one of the classy coaches around. You do not have to win state championships to be a great coach. Did he make a mistake or two along the way, probably so. Passionate leaders sometimes do but most often adapt and change to the new standard. I think he was past the issue with the soccer team. Administration might have been another story. I agree with Rusty Brewer being a good fit as replacement. Polk needs a Polk guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Murphy Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) You are correct, following my posts will not be of any interest to you, because I deal in reality. I guess he got "past the issue with the soccer team" after the season, since he never attended a game. Not district championship, not region championship, not sub state game, not at state semi finals. ..and for those folks that aren't aware, his daughter plays on the soccer team. that's a pretty sorry man in my book Edited January 4, 2019 by Charlie Murphy .

A guy that truly doesn’t get it. Head coaches across the country miss things with their family and friends to pour into the young men on their team. That’s what makes them so special and unique. If I recall, all these soccer event took place right at the end of football season, while Coach Davis probably was preparing his team for district games and a playoff game. That doesn’t make him “sorry”. A sorry man is one that hides behind a keyboard and bashes a man’s character on a day that the rest of the community is celebrating the end of his era with their program. “Losers assemble in small groups and complain about others”. So you and your group keep “dealing in reality” (LOL) while the rest of the community sits around and laughs and waits to see what idiotic thing you complain about next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep had coaching duties being the Head coach. Many good coaches miss family events and their own kids playing. Heck my dad missed some of my games when I got older because he was coaching and I had younger siblings playing sports. But that's just unbelievable to bash a man that put his heart and soul into that program. Somewhere along the lines your feelings must've got hurt Murphy or you're in with the upper management that could care less about the athletics at that school.
