So proven Coach? Is that coach going to bring in his "own" people? I will go out on a limb and say the people of Clay will not like their own people (the people needing jobs now that have the education) being without a job because of football. Combs tried to bring in a few coaches and was shot down.

Getting a football coach that wont move to the area is horrible idea. I'll coach ya son but I can't live in your hometown. GREAT message to players! Will that person be there on grade school night and Saturday mourning because trust me. It will need to start there. Will they have the weight room open on snow days, during the summer?

Clay needs a coach that is proven in character, one of their OWN, and is well liked in their community. That person will apply and bring Clay back to being respectable.

Side note, I think Coach Smith is doing a great job!!

Not sure if we can find a guy like that and probably even lesser chance of pulling him to Clay. I think Eddie is doing an okay job, I just don't believe he is the long term fix, he's probably forgotten more football than most around here will ever know.
