Thats alright. You're getting your name out there. Don't worry about jumping to the next level for a couple of years. Remember the assistants do not get paid that well (unless you are at LSU). I remember some 70-80 weeks at Lees-McRae and that was the early 90's. 13-17K a year for an asst with a room. Ouch.  It's a good thing I had that underwear gig with GQ.

Work on a head job at the level your at. That will get you a chance at a coordinator job at the D-2 or better. You remember the grad assistants at MC? Jeeez I know they were smoked.

I know college is for an A-type personality like yourself. Hang in. Your still a youngster...... right?

[moshergc9]

Abngr,

Still a youngin I guess.  I was offered the Head Lacrosse/ Asst Football Coach at Ronald Regan High School Friday.  I have to choose that or going after a Defensive Cordinator Job at Williamston (1a in open country)
I guess the college game will have to wait a few years.

At least Ill be able to catch a few games at Wake or in Greensboro this year.

Summers starting to smoke up a little.  Anybody been rafting in that flood water latley?

mosh - i've never heard of rr high school, so i googled them - looks like the facility was opened in oct. 2005?  there is something to be said for morale at a place like that - when you're working (and taking classes) in a nice, shiny, modern building, i think people seem happier - i've never been in williamston hs, but i can't imagine it's as nice a rrhs seems on the web - besides, the triad is your stomping grounds and i would think hc experience, even in another sport, can't hurt - i don't think you can go wrong, though, because being a dc can be great training, too - good luck

MSOH
Narch makes a good point.

Head coach is head coach. Nothing like being the boss.

I noticed the 'happier" phenomenon at a Carteret County school....Croatan?. I forget its name, but everyone seemed very pleased to be in that environment.

Another thought.......I have always noticed that I was happier with a male principal. Not so much hand wringing and uh.....anal retentiveness was missing from that situation.

[moshergc9]

Thanks for the insight.

Im definatley leaning towards RR.  Tough choice though since being a D cord is a goal of mine.  I think the Forsyth Schools pay on a higher scale than most NC Schools.

Ronald Reagan HS has been there a couple of years now - lots of new housing in western Forsyth County near Winston-Salem.  If fact, my great niece will be a freshman there next fall.

yeah, croatan is a beautiful facility, and it doesn't hurt that it's about 100 yards from the croatn (i think) sound...not a bad view

i think jack britt and gray's creek are similar situations here in cumberland county...folks out there just seem to be happier...something to think about

[AdmiralPapi]

Narch, its just inside of Bogue sound which separates Bogue Banks (Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, Pine Knoll Shores, Salter Path...) from the Morehead City/Cape Carteret Area. 

Croatan definitely has the best facilities in the county.  A lot of money lives near that school.  It also has MC alum David Foster coaching there.  They have a pretty football friendly principal there also, but East Carteret has the most football/athletic friendly principal in Carteret County in Ralph Holloway.

[abnrgr]

Papi
Ralph Holloway is at East Carteret? He was at Kinston right? If it is the same Ralph....he is a professional. He calls a good game. 

[AdmiralPapi]

I believe he coached at Kinston...we stole him from West Carteret where he was their athletic director.  He has been awesome for all of EC's sports programs.

[moshergc9]

New Hanover and Page have been calling the last two days. 

Seems like my stock is going up

[AdmiralPapi]

Mosh, you'd love New Hanover....3 blocks away from downtown Wilmington...Never a dull night down there!

Narch, they closed down front street brewery   

[narch]

papi - i knew that wasn't the croatan sound (does such a thing even exist), but i flaked on the bogue sound...front street closing is a travesty...i'd like the entire board to observe a moment of silence for the death of a great brew-pub






wow...that breaks me up - i could subside on the pretzels and the raspberry wheat - is there anything similar replacing front street in downtown, or will i have to head out to the martini place on wrightsville bch to imbibe in a laid back atmosphere?

mosh - nh is a great place - fantastic athletes (especially in baseball...trot nixon is a nhhs alumn), adequate facilities, and just blocks from the 2nd best downtown atmosphere in nc (behind uptown charlotte) - there are just a few attractive ladies in the wilmington area, too, and wrightsville is 15 minutes away...i know what MY choice would be

[AdmiralPapi]

Narch,  no Croatan sound exists...at least not in NC.  Croatan HS sits in the middle of Croatan National Forest. 
As of the last time I was down there nothing had move into front street's spot.  There's a few spots dowtown with a more laid back atmosphere...next time your in town let me know and we'll check them out.  I'd invite ABN but he'd probably drink both of us under the table 

[narch]

i'd be afraid he'd show up in those chaps he's always talking about...
