North Surry Coach Quit
- Thread starter buzzcoach
- Start date
Interesting hire considering the list of applicants. Money does actually talk.
Let's not take anything away from this young man. Money talks in all walks of life. The other applicants are pretty comfortable in life. North needed a change from the status quo and here it is. I am actually excited for the 1st time in years.
Wasn't he already on staff? If so then good for North Surry for keeping it in house. People whine over loyalty, well there is a reason people aren't loyal anymore. If you have someone in house, keep it in house! And stop whining over it's about money. Everything is about money.

He was, he was our TE and inside WR coach last year. Did a lot with the JV's when we could play. Also coached basketball too and was JV HC for them. He's a good dude.
We had 4 assistant coaches apply, solid number. I'm glad we stayed inside in my opinion we didn't need to go outside. Didnt hear who fully applied from the outside.

I could be wrong but his first year coaching was this past season. Graduated college in December. NS had multiple assistants apply with more experience and better relationships with the players. Hope he does well but I don’t see it happening. Truthfully, I thought Taylor was good, but someone didn’t have his back. Small town politics.
Did you every stop and think that North needed a drastic change? They were stuck in a cycle of beating who they were supposed to beat, losing to who they were supposed to lose to and losing most of the toss up games. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Give him a chance. He has great character and came from a winning tradition. Thingsl needed to change.
Y'all want to complain about small town politics but don't want to do anything to change it and probably have no issue if it would benefit you.
Besides, Who is the supposed mastermind behind these politics? I'm hearing accusations but no names. Who should have been hired?
How did you get the names and resumes? Where they released publicly? Did you see him drinking beer in a dorm room? I think this is small town gossip at its best. Do you have an ax to grind with him? If you have these answers then maybe you are part of the clic that didn't get the job and are not willing to give him a chance.
Well who you elect to school boards is a good start
I wonder how many folks turned the job down? Seemed like NS was going to hire the guy from Charlotte and that evidently fell apart. Regardless of how you get the job I hope he does well and NS can continue to improve.
Those two sentences describe quite a few teams.
Let's be honest NS finally hired them a MA boy period end of discussion. MA guys know how to win.
Pretty sure he left LR during first year of football. Not sure he finished season. Smart kid and alot of fire. Very smart. Was really good QB at MA led them to Western Finals.
I liked that they stayed in house as you should imo if you have a good candidate but after hearing more details I think it's a bit suspect to give such a big role to someone so young and inexperienced. I hope this works out in the long run but these hires typically don't work out and unfortunately it can be just as harmful to the coach as the team. Someone fresh out of college doesn't need this level of responsibility. Especially with all the expectations of being a beginning teacher and such.

I'm certain that having to poop is a conspiracy to some.
They'll poop come first game of August when they see all them athletes in front of them Mt Airys looking for chickies
Dude I couldn't tell you I'm just trying to stir the pot real early but I will tell you this that coach you have was athlete at Mt Airy and very good give him a chance I think he may turn North program around heck rode by the school today saw a football bingo sighn on the front entrance I remember in 99 when Mt Airy hired a young coach and I said we won't go far and low and behold 23 years later he's hall of famer Smith I think will do well it may take time time
How is North Surry doing? All the players staying with the program and not transfering over to MT Airy.
I went during the spring to two practices and numbers were decent, it surprised me. Haven't had a chance to go during the summer though as they are doing stuff in the mornings. I'll be around more closer to the season.
They had a bingo for the program last weekend and did quite well. I couldn't make it as I was working but North's parking lot was full.
