A few issues exist now that inhibit some quality assistants to apply for jobs. Do they want to relocate? Is the AD/Principal only going to hire someone with the label HC on their resume? I personally know of 5 current HC's that were terrible at the previous school and are still terrible at the new school. They lost before and continue too lose, but for some reason being labeled as HC previously means you are more qualified than a quality DC/OC or career assistant that really knows football. Then you have the good old boys network in some counties also. My guess is there are some quality candidates that are an OC/DC at some successful schools, but they may not have that HC label on the resume and get overlooked.
Absolutely correct!A few issues exist now that inhibit some quality assistants to apply for jobs. Do they want to relocate?

Looks like NE Guilford had an opening that I did not know about, but still updated to the best of my knowledge
There you go ... Stokesdale to Graham (Southern Alamance) is a haul ...Maybe he is looking for a shorter commute, as well?
Hall was OC at Dudley and is a NE Guilford alum.I can find zero info on NE Guilford coaching other than they hired Hall yesterday. No articles on the former coach leaving or getting fired, nothing on the job being posted. Wonder if this was a backdoor hire?

My last recollection was old Glenn coach took it, then stayed a short while and took Ragsdale job, I believe. I guess, did they ever replace him?I knew that but like many had no idea NEG had an opening to begin with.
After the previous coach left shortly after he was hired the new coach was labeled as “Interim Coach” also the job was posted on the district website. Things were done by the book, but as usual jobs are already spoken for even before being posted online!My last recollection was old Glenn coach took it, then stayed a short while and took Ragsdale job, I believe.
