Heard a certain coach may be leaving for a job in Buncombe County when it opens. any info ? or is it all just talk?
 
He likes the milltown air...doesn't like being put out in the first round..you all know that feeling to don't ya
 
Yea the second worst team we've had in 14 years. And y'all lost to them by double digits

First time since 2012 and before that, 2001. All them have something in common, some of the worse teams AHS has had. And yeah y'all lost to them by double digits
 
Talk..he addressed that in his radio show Saturday morning

You don't really expect him to sit in the middle of the Jukebox Junction on Black Bear Radio after a first round loss to a lower seeded team and say he is leaving Canton do you? They were probably swarming around outside ready to hang him anyway.

That would have been a real entertaining radio show Saturday for sure if he said he was leaving. Doubt he even knows that the Monday after the playoffs.

Truth is he has said several times not just on the radio that he was not leaving.No doubt Brett is a young coach and since his family comes first he will probably leave sometime if a better opportunity comes along.Asheville is not that opportunity
I do understand how you Tuscola people would want that.Since you never cared for those other Pisgah coaches that you ran off from Tuscola.Does Allen ,Noland and Sexton ring a bell?.
 
Im no football analyst or mind reader, nor do I claim to know what is in anybody's heart, but if there was an opportunity where coach Wilkins decided he indeed wanted to retire and chapel was offered the job, he would be out of canton so fast it wouldn't even be funny. It's not a coincidence that of all the coaches in WNC that HIS name is the name everybody is gossiping. Who knows when coach Wilkins decides to hang it up, but when he does, I have to imagine there will be a long list of candidates vying for that job, in the city of Asheville, in north carolinas best stadium, with our talent and our tradition. The pisgah coach may just think canton is the greatest place on earth and wouldn't leave it for the world coaching at pisgah may be his dream job, but I think there is a reason this thread has even been created. Somewhere that idea was planted.

Rumors fellas. This crap really pisses me off. This isn't the first one like this to get started since he's been at Pisgah. Leave the man be and let him coach. Big mouth Yankee transplants need to keep their mouths shut.

Pisgah Bears,
Truth is, your coach expressed interest in the Asheville job some time ago. Some other coaches in the conference are aware of his interest. Truth is, he has been in Canton 3 years and has not bought a house. Truth is, his wife has resigned from Canton Middle School, effective 11/22.
AHS Cougar hit the nail on the head, if the Asheville job came open and he was offered, he would get a speeding ticket leaving Canton. And who could blame him?

There is a reason.It was started by a Tuscola fan.As for your great stadium ,what good is that without fans?
 
That's all I was saying. We don't know if anything of this is true, but I imagine if that opportunity presented itself he would be gone in 10 mins
 
Not a dig against coach Chapell or any of his players, but with his history of discipline problems at both East Henderson and Pisgah, he is the last person Asheville needs as a head coach. Ashevilles next head coach should be the Sargent from Full Metal Jacket. 8 feet tall and puts the fear of God in every player on the field.
 
I know Chapell would win a ton of games at Asheville if he took that job. That's almost a certainty.
 
I heard Bucky Tarr was offered a HC position somewhere in a big 5A school in SC. Also heard Sexton might be heading to WCU.

Hey if anyone deserves a job as a HC it's Bucky Tarr. He is a great football coach, and Sexton has turned Erwin into one of the best programs in Wnc.

Just hope whenever they leave Erwin really has a thorough hiring process to get the best man for the job.
 
Best looking campus.
Best looking stadium.
Most talent BY FAR year in and year out.
Better exposure.
More money.
Let's not kid ourselves boys, Asheville is a HUGE opportunity for any coach in WNC. it's the premier job west of Shelby.

Also heard that Brandon Allen, Frady from Enka, and a few Erwin parents were going to team up and make one "super coaching staff" for Erwin next year. Gonna run the new super spread quadruple option out of the I formation with seven tight ends. Heard that from a guy who went to school with another fellow that knows a kid who played for Erwin back in the 80's who used to live in the same trailer park with a lady who's aunt made biscuits for a man who cut the grass on the practice field at Erwin. So, it's pretty reliable.

I don't know when Wilkins will retire. I know there have been rumors swirling for some time, but if and when he retires, I have to imagine there will be DOZENS of applicants pouring into our athletic director. Hopefully he makes a long thought out decision on who will be Asheville's next head coach whenever that time comes.
 
I'm not convinced that ANYONE can win a lot more at Asheville. Asheville has had the same talent since the 70's and Wilkins won more than any of the coach's before him. People have knocked his system the last year or two, but look how effective his system was when Asheville had an athletic QB. I don't necessarily agree with all of the play calling but trust me, Asheville has not always had a QB that would be effective in the spread. Also there are a lot more off the field issues the coach has to deal with and manage at Asheville than any other school around. Not any coach could win 12 conference titles in 13 years in the MAC, or average over 10 wins a year. I don't know if he is retiring or not, but I think he at least deserves some credit for the best era in Asheville high football history.
 
I hear Josh Brooks will be the new man at Smoky too! Bringing brothers with him. Napert is on the way out as soon as he lands an asst. collegiate job.
Tuscola will be looking for a new coach before Pisgah will. Any wagers?
Will Erwin try to promote from within? Don't fool yourselves Leicester, Sexton is done.
Will the D coordinator get a shot at the Asheville job?
Is Frady on the hot seat or does Enka care if they win a game?

I still cannot believe that in 15 years of Asheville football for Coach Wilkins, we haven't had one natural QB. In 15 years we haven't had one guy who was 6 foot 1, 6 foot 2 who played quarterback at age 8 and 18 or was a college qb prospect. That's crazy to me. Of course we have had amazing athletes at that position like Crezdon Butler, Rahkeem Morgan and Michael Byrd, but none of those guys played QB in college. They were just our best athlete being put at that position. (I.e. Rico Dowdle) The closest thing Asheville had to an elite natural qb was the summer of 2003 when Jonathan Crompton was transferring from Erwin and was very nearly came to Asheville high to play with Crezdon Butler, Johnny White and Michael Byrd. Ultimately he decided he wanted to go to Tuscola and play with his coach and finish his high school career 0-5 against Asheville, but that's neither here nor there.

We have a kid coming up from JV that just might surprise you. Dual threat, athletic, good arm and accuracy.
 
If you are thinking about the same kid I am, he is about 6 inches away from that 6'2" mark I was thinking of lol.
 
More talent than anybody in the MAC for 15 consecutive years and exactly one state title for ol Danny boy. And it took two NFL players three years to win him that one. How many titles does ACR have in the last 15 years? Yeah I'd say there are others who could do a little better with that talent.

10 straight conf titles??? That's a little misleading when the split MAC recognizes two champs every year.
 
Think chapel has had his hands tied at pisgah from the leftover Pressley staff. Would prob do a great job with full control at a school like Asheville
 
You honestly think Asheville had more talent than Reynolds in 200, 2001, 2006, 2010, and this season? More talent than Erwin in 2013? More talent than Roberson in 2012? And Reynolds has 3 titles in the last 17 years. Asheville beat them head to head 2 of those 3 years, they played in different brackets. Yeah he probably could've won 3-4 titles if not for some bad luck and bounces in the playoffs. I'm not saying he is the best coach in WNC, but asheville has won more games and conference titles than any other school in WNC since he took over at Asheville. Asheville had 2 NFL players on the same team in the early 90's. They didn't get past the 2nd round.
 
I'm almost a little surprised to hear Sexton's time at Erwin could be coming to an end. Especially since he is AD at Erwin if I remember correctly.
