And he's going to Russellville. The number of "He CAn'T CoMPeTe IN a lEveL PlAYinG FiEld" takes are killing me. If he wanted easy competition, he could have stayed at Mars Hill--or gone to any number of public schools where he WOULDN'T be the sixth most talented team on day one.



Yeah, part of me wonders if the private school split made him want out. Or at least stuck in the smaller class where only Coosa could give them a game. As in he WANTS a challenge.



I?d say it has more to do with retirement than it is anything. Otherwise, I think he would have stayed there and continued what he had



I would say its huge! a new challenge, getting his years in the state retirement system... and I assume a very nice raise to coach at Russellville only increases his retirement. Win Win!

who is the front runner here?



Frankly, I don't know. As much as it pains me to admit it, Russellville right now, is not a great job. ESPECIALLY since it's almost certain that the region is going to be unwinnable whether the rumored split with private schools happens or not (with the split, a 3rd or 4th seed is possible. Without, in a 6A that includes Austin, Florence, Muscle Shoals, Athens, and Hartselle, you're looking at several lean years because the talent is nowhere close to what it was 20 years ago.

If you put a gun to my head, I'd say Oscar Bonds would probably be the main guy. I know Chris Chambless (longtime coach at West Point, MS, and current head man at Gordo) has put in several times but man, it's a mess.

Speaking of, Dustin Goodwin was officially named head man at Demopolis today.
