This is proof that if you have money and a loud enough voice you can undermine years and years of proven success.
No, it is proof if the people making decisions lack strength and character money can undermine years and years of proven success. Strong leadership would not have been bullied.
According to you the principal must be yellow-bellied coward. If true then East Surry got screwed.
No he was forced out, he didn't retire on his own. I talked to him myself. The press release is total BS.
When you don't play the right one at quarterback in the minds of some in the peanut gallery, heads will roll when the administration is as weak as east surry has shown over the course of the past few years.
I think you are wrong on this. I don’t think the school administrators did anything, I think this is on the superintendent & school board members. The local winery owner has a lot of money, and school systems like money.
I think hiring Coach Whitt would be a terrible decision. I know very few people who would be in favor of that because of his dealings in the little league and middle school groups, that’s a complete daddy ball coach if there has ever been one. Coach Johnson would be a great coach, the kids really love him.
After this debacle, they will never be on par with mount airy, who they already have an inferiority complex about.
They may stay with someone currently on staff or they may completely switch gears and go with an outside candidate. If they stay on staff, Johnson would probably be the best choice. Johnson did a pretty decent job several years ago at Surry Central, competing against much more talented programs. Whitt didn’t have very much success during his previous stint as a head coach. I think he seems to be a decent position coach, but based on his track record I’m just not sold on his ability to lead a program. Who knows what will happen or who could possibly apply from the outside. I’ve also heard some of the “facts” being presented on here aren’t exactly true.I think hiring Coach Whitt would be a terrible decision.

I do not know if outside groups with money and influence forced this decision. That is what people are saying. The coach knew people were pushing for change and tried to head it off.
It may not have been the principal. He works for a superintendent and school board.
