Actually, I did receive a message on the subject from one of my ardent admirers last night which said "Screw you coacht". So, there is that.

Why you? Not like you have anything to do with it. Hope it ends well, but I have a bad feeling about this.

I feel bad for John Moore above all of it. He did a great job considering what he inherited and when he got to start. He has been down there a long time for them to do this to him.

It was directed toward me, personally, by a member who had to be removed. Nothing to do with the Columbia hire.

Like already said coach, there's always one. I try and keep a simple approach to interacting with people whom I suspect may be "that guy"...if I don't immediately understand why we're in disagreement, ask. If I don't understand after the explanation (or I don't get one)...you're not worth my time. That sounds crude and maybe aloof, but is absolutely true. After deciding that, I may choose to argue or debate...may just poke the bear every once and a while for fun, or just ignore completely. 

 You need to understand that we longtimers know you a little bit. You didn't sell, you didn't compromise, and you didn't commercialize. This site is a good clean outlet for "moderately normal" fans of high school athletics to exchange information, express opinions, and compare teams, players, districts, ect... too far apart to do any other way. It is how it is because that's how you decided it would be, and I applaud you for it because the money said otherwise. Thank you for the outlet.

Agreed. Former staff that was full of youth football coaches bashed the man to death to the current parents. Coach Moore did a great job but he fully supports and loves Coach Sharp and he has plans to be on his staff.

It was tempting, at times, but just never felt right.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
