He may have sucked at coaching but has a really cool name ....so there's that .
Sorry good buddy.....I made an assumption which you know what that does. I am learning more about 1a ball this season. Good luck to Manteo on find his replacement.
With smaller schools like us ( Manteo ) there are cycles of good athletic teams and not so good. Evan after the split of schools we have had success. Coach Sawyer was dealing with a situation like nothing that's ever happened before. During the covid pandemic our students were not allowed to come together and work out like some of the other area schools did. The youngsters during the last spring season and this fall (basically a j v ) team starting in a new conference in which we have no business being in, were like bait thrown in to a fish bowel. With the RIGHT coaching hire and the young fellers we have now and the success of the Manteo Braves Middle School Football team the last few years plus some good athletes coming thru the Rec.Football program right now we will win again.
So all it would have taken is more wanting to win? I just find that a little hard to believe. A lot of people want to win, that is not what makes it happen. Also, I can't imagine any school not wanting their students to be successful no matter if they care about sports or not. I just don't see how certain people wanting to win more would have changed anything. I assume the players and coaches are the ones who wanted to win the most and they held that power during practice and games in their own hands.
It sounds as if your administration is working hard to be strong academically, but athletically not as much, sort of if they win great, if not meh.
Our Adm is the reason Walt Davis left for South Central Then Came Eddie Twyne who wasn't going to leave because of being coach in his hometown where he played and lives so he was stuck with Adm. Next Sport Sawyer had some early success and then falls victim to covid and a Adm who doesn't like the football program. Then we get moved to a larger conference with a group of very young players and it showed. Our Men's Soccer which is having great success has skilled athletics who would no doubt help the football team if there wasn't soccer. When Plymouth was in their prime they didn't have soccer. Not knocking soccer because their are other sports that our athletics play also and that is their choice. Point being Manteo is trying to support the same number of athletics teams that we had before the first flight high school was opened and we just don't have the number of students to compete at a high level in them. The Academics are first class but the number of students to fill all these teams spread us thin.
I’ll take the coach’s position at Manteo and take them to the Promise Land. I’ll do it for free. All they have to do is give me a gas card. We have nowhere to go but up. It can’t get any worse, I’ll have those kids believing again and buying into a whole new vision.
^^^^^ THIS, 3 years we’d put Manteo football
on the map guaranteed. ^^^^^ THIS, 3 years we’d put Manteo football
Not with cuzz from the Dub C !!!!!!!!!
Lack of weight room....do you mean the kids do not show up and lift or there is no weight room at all at Manteo HS?
The amount of sound bites that would come from you being a head coach would be legendary^^^^^ THIS, 3 years we’d put Manteo football
