Any news on coach Chappell’s next job?
- Thread starter nueman
- Start date
He’s still teaching at Pisgah for now. I’ve heard places he may be interested in going, from other states to nearby schools etc. but nothing beyond speculation.
Hes been looking around for a while now and I wish him nothing but the best. He did a lot for Pisgah and although I'd like for him to stay I can understand the powers that be pulling the trigger on a new coach. A program like Crest could do a lot worse but no matter where he lands that team will be getting a good one.
Whoever gets him will get a great football coach, and also a great wrestler. His son is a hammer. Probably will be competing for a state title in his HS career.
Yes, there’s a special group of wrestlers moving through the middle school ranks with his son at Bethel and Canton Middle. It would have been great if everything worked out to keep him as part of it.
I may be mistaken for another school but I think the Chesnee Athletic Director is former West Henderson baseball coaching legend Jim Hyatt who retired in NC and then went to SC. If so, I think he was at West when Brett was at East so I am sure there is an acquaintance there and played a role in Chappell taking this job.
Yes, he does (20+ years) but I believe in NC you have to be a minimum age of 50 to apply for early retirement.
Chesnee just scored big time! I couldn’t help but notice they are the SC 2A state wrestling champions. They got a fantastic football coach and a hammer of a wrestler in his son! Well played.
