Great guy, and a good man to lead the kids. He was a pretty good QB and it sounds like he's developed into a good coach.

 

Good luck Coach.

Excellent choice. Bart is as good a man as he is a coach. Parents, players and fans will love him. Good luck Coach Elam.

Congrats and good luck. Chances are he will stick around a little longer than their last coach. This is a good thing for Pineville football.

Bart Elam will do an outstanding job. The Pineville players and community will love him. Good, solid hire...Congratulations to you Bart.

It's going to be a hard road ahead of Coach Elam but it seems as if he has enough energy to meet the challenge(and what a great one it will be).

If the community wants a winner, they will have one. They've got a good coach who will work very hard for the kids.

Congratulations Coach Elam and Pineville. I believe this will be a good situation for both. Coach Elam has an offensive system that he believes in and will sell to the kids and community. If he is given time to develop his players, he can turn things around at Pineville. I look forward to seeing him in the future.

From what I hear both Coach Elam and the kids are hard at work already.
