Maybe they weren't that good to begin with. The first year normally is going to be the hardest but if you are firm,fair,and consistent with the players and know the game and have good management skills you should be okay also if you have some good assistants that are willing to teach the players that are least skill than others.This is NOT a job for an inexperienced head coach. They just chewed up and spit out two veterans. This is not one to try to cut your teeth on. Don't believe me? Ask the last few who were there
Coach Hodgood hired him from SE Raleigh.Who was he under at Leesville and for how long? Having experience at a school previously can be a plus (or a minus depending on how things went while you were there)?
You got to start some place plus he knows the school and what he would be dealing with plus he's defensive minded. Defense win championship the spread looks good until the time to put up or shut up normally.Rumors are it's a coach who likes to throw the ball--a lot--who used to be at a school in the general area. But then, rumors.....
I'm afraid that although hornet62's guy sounds like he's been in some good situations, having been on that staff at Leesville might not be a plus for the young coach at that particular school given how things turned out.
Who is the new coach at Leesville- Road? Thanks.You got to start some place plus he knows the school and what he would be dealing with plus he's defensive minded. Defense win championship the spread looks good until the time to put up or shut up normally.
Chad Smothers, who was a very successful head coach there for 3 years and spent another 6-7 years there as defensive coordinator.Who is the new coach at Leesville- Road? Thanks.
