Spartanburg coach Chris Miller steps down

[DeCav]

It is nothing short of a coup! Great hire for the Vikes! I know Sparty is doing backflips. Heard through the grapevine id dorman had been hiring he might have gone there instead. But brand new school, beautiful stadium? RC i think they opened that stadium one year too early!!!!

My sources told me yesterday that Chapman made counter offer to Hodge, the same amount the Spartanburg was willing to pay. Said he was ready for a new venture. The turn around at Spartanburg will be a slow process, need to develop players from little league up. Good Christian man, he will do a lot beyond football for the Spartanburg family. I think Gaffney even talked to him, wife said no, and the money was not there. Same source said that if the Dorman job was open and offered, Hodge would have taken it. Everything at Dorman is already in place.

Now as for Miller, he was not forced out. It has been known since before Christmas that Miller would retire. I think he wants a Dan Jones deal. Retire, but still coach football. He will show up somewhere.

This seems like a really good hire for Spartanburg. Chapman is rolling.

Great hire- I agree- but did Spartanburg follow the letter of the law? I was under the impression that unless you are hiring from within, you had to advertise a state position for 2 weeks? Maybe I am wrong and I am sure that would just prolong the inevitable- but the law is the law- correct?

Anyway- No better person in coaching than Mark Hodge.

Who does Chapman focus on now?

I think...not sure and dangerous...that Spartanburg and Chapman are in the same district....so they would be hiring from with-in...Same as Porter when he went from Hillcrest to Greenville...

Spartanburg is District #7
Chapman is District #1

I stand corrected...told u it's dangerous....

[Onion Rings]

schools can pretty much do what they want to do...as long as the A.D., Principal, and Superintendent all agree, they can hire someone on the spot

this is really more efficient than having a panel that includes people who have no clue about football (teachers, community leaders, school board members)

if you know what or who you want, pull the trigger
