Oh, yeah. Second loss in two years after two undefeated years and they had choice words. Also, there was no end of season fund raiser by the booster club that year, the Hundred Dollar Dinner. Barnes was basically informed the season was another failure. The best of times, the worst of times…
Bryan Till is leaving Richmond
- Thread starter raidersidekick
- Start date
Every Friday night he walked across the field to the press box to help little brother Mark at Scotland. The reason why there was a visitors press/coaches box added.
The kids that play WR want play they wanna do more than block..
They would probably appreciate it if that information wasn’t made public
Not my place to name names
Sources tell me at least two State Championship Head coaches applied. A Raider alumnus with an impressive coaching record, and coach familiar to the region who coached in a state championship game this year. You can probably narrow some things down from there.
Yeah, too bad the hiring committee hasn't operated that way.
Im glad one of those guys didnt get it because I like what he is doing where he was already at.
Interesting. I guess winning a state championship as a HC is trumped by winning as an assistant and being an OC a few years. So much for "nothing beats experience".
1. A former college coach with a HS state championship.
2. Another HS state championship winning coach.
3. A coach considered one of the best young head coaches in the state.
That's enough to chew on for the moment.
Irmo is a significantly better location than Rockingham
Sounds like a trend with Richmond alumni coaches. Crest had one of them that ran 2 plays the whole game and the team was becoming irrelevant as a contender as well.
you can explain all the detail and complexity you want, BUT the evidence is in the titles and playoff exits. You can not argue against that and tell people the did not see what everybody saw with their own eyes.
It's like explaining to a sick patient all the complexities of a solution that is not working to cure their sickness. All they see and feel is the sickness and a cure/solution that's falling short of ending the suffering.
That doesn't win multiple titles. And hasn't done so in the 21st century. You can hit a bulls eye once in a while. Convincing someone based off once every 15 years wont cut it.
Some of you are too stubborn to move out of 1987 into 2024. That's why you can only take pride in a few conference titles against a weak to mediocre field, and no state titles or regional ones.
you better have a very special stable of talented runners and an OL full of strong seniors, while also facing a team from the west with a not so great defense in order for that to work. The probability of that happening in the same year is slim to none, and slim just left town.

Shine yeah pa! Same here, but we have a long ways to go with this New Coach Discussion. Forecast is calling for another 2.5 months before this conference begins to dwindle down. Please be patient.
Crest last two titles were delivered by a former Richmond assistant, one directly and the second indirectly. Indirectly since Will Clark was a Barnes hire and disciple from Scotland County, yes Barnes was an assistant at Richmond. And i am almost certain Barnes title run was led by a run heavy offense using hardly any Wr's on the field. Just saying. Wake Forest and Charlotte Catholic ran the Wing-T, which is a run dominated offense and have multiple titles in the 21st century. Pretty sure Crest fans know all about Charlotte Catholic's prowess.
He said mediocre field 🤣 .....as i look at Crest schedule vs Richmond's. Ok buddy whatever you say, you win 😉
Richmond lost to AC Reynolds and Raider fans wanted the man investigated because they thought he intentionally lost the game to go out a hunting trip.
I heard #3 was Clinton’s HC, but last I heard from my friend in Clinton he is staying at Clinton. Not sure if by choice or not but regardless they were able to keep him.
Pretty much meant that if I was a betting man I would have put all I had on that hire.
look for number 3 to show up right across the border
Scotland won’t pay him 100000 a year
Correct. Btango really respect your opinion. Out of those possibilities how can you validate the Denson hire or say it was resume/works based process?
IMHO Robertson, Morman, Johnson would have appeared to be better choices. Then Hope has much more coaching experience also when compared head to head as a candidate with no HC experience. Then add in Hope has the youth ball in RC locked down.
Will say it again they fumbled not getting Morman.....
Sometimes a coach that wants the job but needs a lot of extras to make the move a wise one will interview but what they are requesting will not work for the school/system/boosters, et al. Many expect Johnson to return to Scotland County after Richard Bailey retires or go into SC. Mormon has establish his family in Charlotte metro where the wife went to high school.
