Coach Barrett Moving On

ECP jh beat them pretty bad. I was at the game

They offered job to Mangum Head Coach first from what I was told. He turned it down, sounds like a tough gig.

As I'm sure you are aware, Bill coaches at Zaneis.

Mangum is a much better job than Healdton. I see no reason in why Sam Powers would want to go coach at Healdton.

Healdton is just not a good job period. They are a below avg team almost every year and their JR High is usually not very good either.

They pay a ton....

This was his first year at Zaneis. With Bill at Zaneis and Tanner now at Healdton, I don't think that bodes well for Ringling, at least in the short term.

Coach Fincher has been a huge asset to Ringling for many years, as you iterate. I don't know Tanner (I was away when he was growing up), but I know his younger brother pretty well. I have known their dad since we were in school together 'way back when.' I should imagine Tanner has a lot of Bill's characteristics, coupled with his dad's. I don't know if Ringling really "screwed him over" per se, but I think that is kind of the way Tanner and Bill and Bob probably see it. I reckon Tanner, being Tanner Richardson whom everyone knows and respects around these parts, will likely sift off a number of good kids who go to school at Zaneis that would otherwise attend Ringling for H.S. That is of course why I said this 'doesn't bode well for Ringling.' I'm far from the only one saying that, btw.
