Next head football coach at Montgomery Central

[EliteAK47]

He should definitely be front runner, as long as a certain individual doesn’t come into the equation. I haven’t heard anything but I’m assuming they have to be getting close.

Any word on who the next coach will be? I would think Brian Hinson from Western Cabarrus would be the front runner.

That would be West Cabarrus ... Also, an East Montgomery alumnus ...

Saw on a social media post where Hinson did not get the job. People were not to happy. I have no idea now who possibly got the position.

I bet Hinson turned it down, I bet he ends up at Davie.

Montgomery County Schools has a board meeting next Monday night (2/3). Hopefully, a successor to Coach Metzger will be named.

 

[EliteAK47]

If pay is same as Metzger, no way he turned it down. If he isn’t the guy my guess would be in house hire Carpenter or Fayetteville State coach.

Or it’s a tight lip situation, potentially major hire

Montgomery Central promotes DC Jack Carpenter. Board meeting Monday night will make it official!

 

[EliteAK47]

Yep, in house hire. Has coached under Dave Doeren at NC State, Pinecrest and Montgomery Central. I had a feeling they would go this route

 

[EliteAK47]

Also with this hire I feel he can get some coaches back that have left last few years. Many that have helped lead teams to deep playoff runs and State Championship games. Community guys that know football

I’m hoping the best for Montgomery Central. It’s really kind of becoming a place where “you can’t win here”. And no, this past year’s schedule full of terrible non-conference opponents does not mean that they are headed in the right direction.

Does the school administration want to win? Recently heard they cut the paid coaching staff by 4 coaches for the young new coach. Definitely not a show of support from the powers that be!!!

I have no internal knowledge of what is going on at MC. I have only heard rumors that the current administration does not put a high priority on finding and/or retaining quality coaching. If that is indeed the case, I find it odd that the county administration would support that. They've spent a ton of money making a pretty high quality athletic complex that is currently inhabited by a plethora of below-average teams.
