Revenge of the Raiders.

I could be wrong, but I think this game marks the first time Barth returns to Walton-Verona as an opponent. On paper seems like an even matchup. Any streaming options for this matchup?

Gary Pence would be a good option as a young coach. He has two years of head coach experience, plus years of studying under Coach Borchers. As a HC he has had the opportunity to rebuild the WV program after the departure of Barth, and grow a young core of players. His second season saw the further development of this core with WV's first playoff win in the last couple of years. I am sure he would want to see his work with this core come to fruition this year, but I'd understand his interest in returning to Cooper where he spent many years. I also would be interested to see if Borchers would conduct these HC interviews as acting and/or exiting Athletic director. I'd imagine Borcher's would want a coach to continue his program/legacy as opposed to rebuild from scratch.

Outside of McMillan and Barth, are there any outside prospects that could beat out the two in-house candidates? Like futurecoach said, maybe admin wants a long term solution, which would indicate a younger coaching prospect.

Assuming McMillen is interested, I wonder if Barth applied?

There is a wealth of experience on that coaching staff. Also, some ties back to the Bryson Warner Ryle days. I am curious about the status of Greg Ryan, as he is not listed on your coaching staff. He was another coach from the Warner tree. Has he moved on as well?
