Coach Griffith heads to Warren East after being HC at Barren County. Good luck to Coach Griffith and the Raiders!

Good hire for the Raiders. With the name and connections Griffith has he should be able to keep some of the better players at East.

I really like Coach Griffith and I think he is a good dude and good football coach.

 

Congrats Coach!

Best of luck in Raider Town! I think East could compete on a consistent level. They don't have to play BG or South Warren and now is the time to play Warren Central, so that only leaves beating Allen County Scottsville and your hosting a playoff game! I'm saying they won't beat Franklin anytime soon, but still #2 in the District is very attainable IMO.

What is the over/under on years at the helm? It sounds like the opportunity is there to succeed so is it safe to say it will be more than two seasons?

Nice work CWB!

 

I think Coach Griffith is a good coach! I also feel he will like coming to BG and not having to face BG anymore. I think it's a good hire by Warren East.

I had totally forgot about that.

I wondered if that was the same Coach Griff that was at Boone. He never really got under way at Boone.

He certainly turned Boone County around. They are still trying to recover. Two years and one win and then bolts. From what I am told, he is really disorganized when it comes to fulfilling head coaching duties (practice schedules, etc.). Some people are great assistant coaches, but are not as good as head coaches.

Classic.

 

Boone parents ran him out on a rail. Griffith went into Boone talking about instituting a platoon system, and explaining that it would me at least 1 or 2 years of tough losses, but patience would pay off in the long run. I spoke with multiple folks from the Boone County fanbase, and patience was NOT what they were offering.

Coach Griff inherited a mess at Boone County, an overall lack of talent, a couple of assistant coaches that were not good fits, and suspect administrative support.

I didn't mean to turn this into a Griff vs Boone thing. I honestly just wanted to know if it was the same guy. I was not around when Griff was head coach, my son was still in pee wee. I have no opinion of him as a coach, good or ill, since I have no experience with him. I wish him nothing but the best in every endeavor.
