So they forced Mack out? A few weeks ago he said he had 3-5 more years left in him at UNC
After this weekend, Mack Brown wraps up a storied 40 year coaching career where he netted 2 conference titles
i never read his name without immediately thinking "Satt Scotterfield"
Probably, I don't know where he came from. I just remember that the Woodson coach either also coached or was involved with their travel team.
It's also weird to me call Woodson a rich school, but there were 2-3 rich neighborhoods that fed into Woodson. The rest of the 80% would be on par with Annandale, I would think. My childhood home address was Annandale, but outside the beltway. And Woodson was far from athletic, except in soccer and lacrosse and that was not based on neighborhoods. We were terrible at football, basketball, and track. We were on a streak of 1 win in football for a decade or so until my junior year. But, idk, maybe it's a different perception from outside.
Woodson was good at academics, though. There were plenty of families that either moved or somehow transferred their kid into Woodson for the academics when I was there. And Fairfax station (one of the rich neighborhoods) was in our district despite having to pass both Robinson and Lake Braddock to get to school because the parents in that neighborhood lobbied the school district.
Not so fast my friend.
Sources: Rice is hiring Davidson coach Scott Abell to be the school's next head coach. He's 47-28 since arriving in 2018 and seven-consecutive winning seasons. He's shown an ability to win big at academic schools that have not won traditionally. pic.twitter.com/ELgGrO4fG8— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) November 26, 2024

We can only hope. So far he has been a dumpster fire with slight year over year improvement at Cincinnati. His recruiting ties to NC are strong though from his years at App St.
That is certainly a choice. 25-24 at Louisville and currently 8-15 at Cincy.
Not surprising, and maybe they want to snipe an up-and-coming, defensive-minded coordinator with several years of experience at the ACC level from an old Coastal competitor...

# | Anyone else tracking this debacle / scandal in Fairfax with Hayfield HS? You just hit on why all of this should never have happened. If VHSL had done their job up front, most of these transfers would not have been approved. If they had done a follow up during the summer then they could have decided kids were ineligible. VHSL did not spend the time or money to do that until the results on the field started happening.
Shady business all around but it should have been prevented.
Also rumors that Scott Satterfield is the lead candidate to replace him? Wow.
Hayfield football alum here so I've been following this story since before the season started. I had a feeling this wasn't going to end well when things started surfacing over the summer, so I am not surprised with how it's developed. It's a shame that the school is going to be forever known for this moving forward.
SOUP OR SALAD?

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-2) vs Michigan (4-1) 6pm FS1 The team has SIXTY turnovers in the last three games. Tough to execute offense when you give up a third or more of your offensive possessions.
Last night, they were close in the first half because Michigan was matching them turnover for turnover and missed shot for missed shot. That didn't happen in the second half and we got a double-digit deficit.
Rechsteiner and Lawal are the primary, but last night it was evenly spread.
Poteat - 4
Rechsteiner - 3
Lawal - 3
Young - 3
Schutt - 3
Johnson - 1

# | Anyone else tracking this debacle / scandal in Fairfax with Hayfield HS? Hayfields AD announced his pending LOA before the original VHSL ruling. His wife accepted a job overseas. It now looks like his LOA won't be necessary because he likely won't have a job.
According to the news this morning, he resigned yesterday (Monday, 25-Nov).

# | Anyone else tracking this debacle / scandal in Fairfax with Hayfield HS? I believe 9 of the 14 are Seniors that were on track for D1 football scholarships with Overton at Freedom so can understand those kids parents wanting the kids to keep playing for him. High school football with scholarship and NIL implications are a much different scenario than just "it's high school football"
There were also several in line for track scholarships at D1 too and Overton was coaching track as well.
Lot less eyeballs on 1-6 Freedom this year.
Still should have been nipped in the bud if VHSL had done what they are expected to do. Verify and approve transfers is a major part of their job. They did approve all 14. Where was the uproar in the spring when most of these students moved?
Oh it wasn't until the VHSL Coaching Cabal started losing to Hayfield that it became a problem? Hmmm seems a bit late in the game for sour apples.
I honestly hope this leads to an investigation of every school for every sport in Fairfax County. I think the results of that would really show how broken VHSL is as a governing body. Equate it to the NCAA for College football.

# | Anyone else tracking this debacle / scandal in Fairfax with Hayfield HS? I have a friend who teaches at Hayfield and has been lamenting this debacle since before the school year started. There are tons of rumors about reassignments of some personnel who tried to shine the light on it earlier, a marked increase in security guard hires who also happen to be football coaches, kids not coming to classes (or coming to class and just not participating) - it's just ridiculous. The response from the school board and the county until now has basically been "we have to trust what the adults tell us when they register", and VHSL had to trust what they were getting from the county.
But when you go from a roughly .500 team over the last several years to a team that absolutely steamrolled everyone not named Riverdale Baptist (private school with multiple D1 commits I believe), it's gonna draw some attention. The AD is already gone and my guess is Overton bolts...pronto.
Delly is the biggest name I've seen, so that's definitely more traction than anything I'd seen when i commented
boooo

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (3-2) vs Michigan (4-1) 6pm FS1 My level of interest this season:
"I didn't know we had a game today. Darn, we lost again. Shucks."
"UVA football team pisses on the VT at midfield after winning at Lane Stadium for the first time in 26 years."
What a melodrama his whole season has been. He just told media yesterday he intended to stay after supposedly saying he would step down after JMU.
North Carolina is firing Mack Brown, sources tell @YahooSports, as @mzenitz reported.Brown has spoken out publicly recently that he intended to remain as coach.— Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) November 26, 2024
Mack Brown will coach Saturday against NC State. TBD on if he'll coach the bowl game.— Chris Vannini (@chrisvannini.com) November 26, 2024 at 10:35 AM
And 1 national title, which begs the question, how many of our conference titles over the past 30 years would we give up if just one of them resulted in a national title?
