Welp amigos, the mill is up and running to start the 2025 year. Can anyone confirm these rumors?

1. Stall coach (Freeman) to West Ashley? Would be a solid hire
2. Lexington OC (Kegal) to become HFC? Former HC stepped down for admin position
3. White Knoll coach (Pelham) to Gaffney? Very likely I'm hearing
4. JL Mann coach (Watson) to Greenville? Has some close connections to that community.
5. West Florence coach (Jenerette) to Cpnway on a 1 year deal then becomes the HC in 26'.
6. Northwestern coach (Wofford) to Oceanside to become HFC. Has a connection to the lowcountry
7. South Florence coach to Sumter. Have heard this one for two years, heard that Sumter coach is headed for retirement and can't win the big ones.
8. Southside coach (Ravenel) headed to Aiken to take over. Has roots in the area and would be a good fit.
9. Former Gray Collegiate FB coach (Holmes) could be headed to Dorman.
10. Nation Ford coach (McManus) headed to Spring Valley.

Anyone hearing similar news throughout the state?

Have not heard anything about Dorman, and I would be shocked if they made a change currently.

The Gaffney job has attracted candidates from all over the southeast.

Would Wofford leave Northwestern for Oceanside? That would stun me.

Conway doesn't make sense unless they are offering an admin position to current HC. Can't see why he would stick around knowing his replacement is on his staff.

Would Wofford leave Northwestern for Oceanside? That would stun me. $$$$ and if there are ties to the low country, maybe he wants to get closer to home!

What's the status of Shaw over there in Duncan? I would have to think the Rebel admin would think this was a successful season especially since all the games were on the road.

Over here in Greer, I have not heard any rumors on Young retiring or anything like that.

Dorman is standing put, making some staff changes but the turmoil has too much for change to happen now.

Duncan has been too busy cleaning out the old guard. The power that be want to be ''''Greenville"" East.......

I'm. still wondering if they settled that lawsuit or not.

I have heard the same about the current administration that serves Byrnes. The desire for excellence on the field, and a return to be among the states elite, just isn’t a priority with them. Should be, but it isn’t. But it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Shaw wasn’t pursuing other opportunities. Though the administration doesn’t care, it has to be an uneasy existence with a fan base that expects more than the annual early exits from the playoffs and a humiliating beat down from Spartanburg this year is unacceptable in their eyes.

Reasonably confident you can erase #6
