His offense has one play run up the middle he quit on us 2 years ago because they wanted to change the offense and he didn’t want to
I don't know what kind of head coach Brad will be. A lot will depend who he gets as his assistants. The ones we have now are not up to snuff. What I do know is the secret agreement that was dreamed up in 1973 is still alive. It was said then, that there would never be a black head coach or head principal at Richmond. 50 years later they are still making good on that pledge. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Wow what a post I hope brad does a good job give him a chance I agree need some help with the assistants not gonna make this a race post I hear you on not ever having a Afro-American football coach or principle but there is one coaching basketball for couple years and he is doing a fine job. Never heard of a secret agreement made in 1973 🙏 that we all come together in the county and in the country.
He will get a 2 year honeymoon period due to predecessor and ties to the past. After those two years, the "monster" will start to grow hungrier and hungrier every season till it has to be fed. 4 years tops.

Literally heard this same rumor/position early 90s, 2000s. Many thought Leon Hope would get the RC job when Barnes left. But he didn't. At one point many at West Charlotte wanted him when Knotts left for Indy. Mike Helms was an absolute disaster at WC. Then RC passed over Flowers. The top choice this time around should have been Coach Eric Morman or possibly Patrick Hope.
Flowers had baggage at the time, (ineligible players, pretty sure) Antonio King who was also in the mix at that time would have been a better hire between those two. They went with Emory who ended up being 77-7 that's not to bad of a record. This time around it should have been Greg Williams, if he wanted it. If he wanted it, then this is a complete sham and total travesty. Morman would be a good hire but i am pretty sure it was a family decision to stay away. Big city lights and job opportunities for family members to hard to leave behind to return home.
Maurice would have did a great job but at the time Flowers was not getting a job in a NC public high school.
Nothing screams novice football fan louder than this statement. The middle of the offense is the Center, hence the title. So every team that runs the football between the tackles is running directly at the Centers butt? Come on now, be a better fan than that. There are a multitude of possible schemes to make use of those matchups and alignments of the defense in those 4 gaps from Tackle to Tackle (5 and 6 gaps if you add TE's). Pro football has the least number of running plays yet we all have our favorite teams. They all run Inside Zone, Outside Zone and a wrinkle of the week deepening on opponent and nobody says "they run it up the middle all the time". I bet that every NFL team runs the same play 60% of the time Inside Zone left and Inside Zone right. High School football is the most diversified and creative offenses you will see during a season you can see Wing T, Spread, Zone, Power, Flex bone, the list goes on and on. So lets all try to be better fans and avoid the tired cliche's of "they always run up the middle" "if the OL would block somebody", "come on Def tackle somebody"
This hire is as good ole boy as it can be. When the job came open most already knew the hire would be Denson. Even when he was on staff, fans clamored for him. Nothing against him at all. RC is in a different position then when Emory, or Hoggard were hired. Coach Ed Emory's credential's were impeccable for a HS coach when coming to RC. Hoggard's resume was great when he came to RC and RC was winning big when both took over. This take over not so much.
No matter what you call it .. up the middle, between the tackles etc. run heavy football ain’t winning championships in todays football.
Lol two years ago New Bern went undefeated and won the 4a championship and threw the ball like 20 something times the whole season.
So true they won it all time to change the title or thread or topic wish coach till and family the best on to new news how about change title to let's go coach Brad and Raiders.
I doubt that, Brad will get this program where it needs to be.
Yep that’s the year New Bern got caught using ineligible players and had to forfeit all their wins. Coach and principal were fired shortly after..
Denson as the next head coach was the easiest call on this board
Yea but......never mind not a scheme or philosophy topic....back on topic for me
What makes you say this? Easiest, most convenient or most popular? I am a little thick headed at times and need some help on this statement. Thanks for your help
Nobody is moving their kid to richmond county schools. Keep being delusional.
He knows the feeling he felt it the last game he coached, his last walk through the stands was brutal.
You just like everyone else in Richmond county know Brad was preordained. Anyone from out of town should have been payed for their time and gas to interview...
When Independence came to Rockingham and beat the brakes off the Raiders with Chris Leak, I’m sure he was booed.
