That would fire Camden up - and Waverly too.

Congrats to Camden on getting your man, McConnell will be announced tomorrow.  Good things to come for your program.

Just heard MWV has countered and offered more money.  Stay tuned.

Lol it’s not about money for McConnell. It’s about being home. Obviously. I mean he is basically giving up any hopes of making it to State by coming home. He is putting his family first. Let’s be honest, Camden football is on a decline. The JR High program is a joke. Will McConnell make Camden better? Absolutely! But probably never good enough to compete for a 3A State Title. Even when they go to the new classification, it will be tough. I am truly happy for McConnell and his family for his decision to go home.

I agree ..I mean who would want to raise their kids in Waverly when they can raise them in Camden right!  Then again Martin is a nice place as well.

P.S.  it is about money 99% of the time...getting to go home for extra money is a bonus.

Then why did he even come to Martin to begin with?

 Because Marit is WAY closer to home than Waverly ....or He doesnt know squat. His name says it all. He hates Camden..Maybe it was all the beatings he took in HS football. who knows.   
He came there for more money and a chance to get into the college ranks. 

 Either way it is official  He was named as Head Coach here today By Coach/Principal McDowell. Money played a factor no doubt.

I'm sure he didn't account for the Camden job opening up when he took the job at Westview. I also think 7-3A was tougher than expected

Everyone in these parts knew Camden was coming open soon.  I think it's a testament to what Martin has to offer plain and simple.

McConnell to Camden is death for Wavo
