It makes perfect sense as to why Grider is leaving and going to another state. It’s money.
 

I have always found it awfully hypocritical for a guy, which does what’s best for their financial future, to criticize a coach for doing the same. Stay around for another year because of “what’s coming back”, or draw $3000 in retirement and make $5000 a month in another state. Most people would take the $3000 bump in pay each month. 

I was told he requested one more year at SP but was “strongly encouraged” to retire now. Apparently it would have been financially beneficial for him to get some of his “affairs” in order prior to the pay bump he got. When the request was discouraged he was quite perturbed with the situation and made a verbal commitment to “take this place down when I go”. Then 2 short weeks later the T$$AA comes calling. At least that’s the word around the Cardin mill anyway :shock:

I’ve said it before, I personally think SP will be far better off now if Jones will stick around a while.

No doubt, I have no idea about the situation at SP or his personal situation. I have no dog in the hunt, nor want one. I am only stating I know coaches retire from one state and work in another on a regular basis and see why.

I know Mike and Jarrod Cardin.  Well, it’s been a long time but went to school with Jarrod.  Good folks.  I believe Jarrod’s boy graduated from Jasper High last year.  He was a good kid like his dad.

I'm sure it was Chris, but I'm sure he had alot of help, but it sure looks alot better around the football field now. Looks like some old junk that's been around was hauled off . Whoever it was that was responsible, thank you. I can't stand to see old wood and scrap laying around year after year.

    • Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
    • You really mean the Price twin boys and Lyin Larry.
    • Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
    • Interesting how quite it is. Rumors are going around that Anderson County is being looked at by TSSAA for recruiting violations with the Campbell County transfers. 
    • I heard from a member of the teaching staff that there has been a dispute over use of the game field between football, and girls lacrosse team. Girls had a game and wanted to warm up and football coaches did want to leave. The football coaches came down hard with some bad vulgar language and the girls lacrosse backed down. What a classy act BHS athletics has become.
