That whole mess ended up being a bunch of bs didn't it? Or was it legit. Guy knows a lot of football. What about Dickie is he still coaching there?The job was Benji’s if he wanted it. But there were other factors in play and it didn’t work out.

Legit in that he was interested. BS in the way some aspects were handled. But not by him.That whole mess ended up being a bunch of bs didn't it? Or was it legit. Guy knows a lot of football. What about Dickie is he still coaching there?
Coach Ferguson was just named as the Region 5 winner of the NCHSAA Homer Thompson “Eight Who Make a Difference” award.Article in multiple papers today. Coach Ann Ferguson who has had great success as coach of Thomasville’s men’s basketball team, is going to Ledford for the same position. Big loss for the program.
They have certainly had a revolving door. Not too sure about their current situation.OC. Just curious, and you may not have answer, But is Lexington in same shape. I know they had a revolving door of football coaches, but seem to have a good one now.
I would agree if they have proven head coaching experience. This is not a job to train on. Though it could quickly become one.Current situation for LSHS football is better with Morman in control. They need to be sure to keep him happy cause it could fall apart quickly.
Like I said bf I think THS needs to hire a quality alumni to protect the program.
at this point it's going to have to be one to train on. We're half way through June, chances of us getting a proven head coach at this point is slim to none unless someone is being brought out of retirement. And it wont be the first time in the past 10 years we've had an unproven coach. I could be wrong but i strongly feel the predicament we are in now, we have to take what we can get.I would agree if they have proven head coaching experience. This is not a job to train on.

According to maxpreps you don’t even have a complete schedule? Only 7 games….I don’t see anyway to get games now it’s so lateat this point it's going to have to be one to train on.

im sure that is just incomplete as the games that are missing are conference gamesAccording to maxpreps you don’t even have a complete schedule? Only 7 games….I don’t see anyway to get games now it’s so late
I completely agree! I wish that approach would've been taken years ago, the situation might not be as bad.Yes, it’s late and the situation is not good.
As I stated bf, the proven coach would have to be someone with ties to the community and someone that LOVES the community.
Only 4 teams in conference?im sure that is just incomplete as the games that are missing are conference games
The last time we hired an unproven head coach set the program back ten years. You may be right that attracting a proven coach is a huge challenge. But we’ve seen how hard it is to get rid of one that isn’t a good fit.at this point it's going to have to be one to train on.

the games that it is missing on maxpreps is north rowan, west davidson and south davidson. all of which is conference opponents. maxpreps just seems incomplete with the schedule right now and it is normally like that every year. They have a full scheduleOnly 4 teams in conference?
Let’s just say that one winning season doesn’t constitute proven experience. And being able to drum up support in the community is a huge part of the job in a place like Thomasville. Most of our coaches have had that ability.Who was unproven? Mattera came to THS with a 4 year record of 34-14 (2010-2013). Maxwell had a 10-win season at Ledford (2001) before toiling in obscurity for 8 years with Allegheny and N Wilkes as a HC (2003-2007, 2009). Robertson’s record speaks for itself (2009 State Champion @ Reidsville; 2016 State Runner-Up @ E. Guilford). And then Gillispie taking Page to 3 state title games with 1 Championship. So after Allen Brown retired for the final time, which one was “unproven” as a HC?
Who’s the principal?A principal has been hired. That’s a start.
Dr. William Wynn from Forsyth County. Assistant principal is Nichole Page.Who’s the principal?
Starting interviews todayTo my knowledge the application date has closed. Any news from Thomasville? Truly wonder how many applicants there were.
I don’t. But probably couldn’t tell if I did😊OC….do you know if they have anyone with THS ties interviewing other than on staffers???
Great campaign 2024 political answer!!! LolI don’t. But probably couldn’t tell if I did😊
Nah. If I knew, I’d say that I knew. But I don’t believe in rumors about jobs on a message board. Somebody won’t get the job and there’s a chance that their current employer doesn’t know they applied. So I wouldn’t mention names, even if I knew.Great campaign 2024 political answer!!! Lol
Totally agree but in spirit of 2024 campaign season I’d like to clarify I didn’t ask for names. I do appreciate your professionalism.Nah. If I knew, I’d say that I knew. But I don’t believe in rumors about jobs on a message board. Somebody won’t get the job and there’s a chance that their current employer doesn’t know they applied.

Who is itRumor is that a decison is made and it may be a shocker to the Bulldog faithful.
Also, is this a good shock or a bad shock?Rumor is that a decison is made and it may be a shocker to the Bulldog faithful.
They were not able to secure the funds to build the new schoolWow. Alot of movement going on since I took a break from the board. Here I was about to ask about any news on THS getting a new senior high being built...😅
Anyways, congratulations to coach Gillespie on a fine career. Got to talk to him last summer after one the summer football practices. Great person.
Yet they have millions to spend on the private schools. Honestly, this is probably why many of the teachers left.They were not able to secure the funds to build the new school
