Congrats Coach Griffith!

Congrats to the new coach.

 

I'm disappointed Kyle Niederman wasn't selected and I have ZERO doubt he was up against it because of his association with Coach Thompson. There has been so much negativity around the program for the last few years. Anyone associated with it was stained.

Any word on how the assistant coaching staff wil be affected.

 

I feel for Kyle......I mean he put a lot of time and effort and dedication into this team.....Was hoping he would get a deserved opportunity to be a HC.

Congrats to the new coach.

I second these sentiments. Niederman is a great guy/coach and I am a little shocked he did not get the job. Congratulations to Coach Griffith. I hope he can build something successful in Florence.

Any details on Griffith's coaching pedigree?

Welcome to 6A football.

 

Huh? Bowling Green is a Top 3 team in the state in any class. I think Jeff will do fine. He is a great hire for Boone Co. If they think he isn't then they are crazy. I should point out how bad does Boone Co. want football? or are they going to put a big name in there and not try to improve.

 

Good Luck!

He could be Knute Rockne reincarnated, if the good Jimmies and Joes walking the halls don't come out for football, it won't matter.

I can understand the disappointment about Niederman...but Griffith looks to be a solid hire.

Good luck to Coach Griffith.

 

To the bolded, I am not sure I would consider an assistant from Bowling Green a big name hire. Bowling Green won championships before he was there and will win them after he leaves.

 

I am very surprised BC hired an assistant coach not named Kyle Niederman. I could see him getting passed up for a current head coach or an assistant who had previous success as a head coach, but not just another assistant from somewhere else.

Congrats to the new coach.

Congratulations Coach Griffith. With that remark on the table, how much of the existing staff gets retained?

This is why I was so surprised Niederman did not get it over Mr. Griffith

I also see from the purplesfootball.com Coach Griffith has a son:

 

Owen Griffith

Position:OLB 6'3 225 SR

2013 All-State Candidate

Congrats to BC for realizing just hanging around as an assistant on an underperforming staff is not real qualifications.
