This started out so nicely. A retiring legend coach leaves a football program, not at the last moment, but, with time to find a replacement. The staff that is left is competent and the head assistant is a very viable choice for a replacement to keep the program on a track that has been on an upward turn. Feelers are put out to see if there is going to be any interest from any other higher profile coaches and then it turns into a stinking mess. It looked like the administrators were interested in fielding interest from other coaches and trying to make sure they had all the cards on the table before making the best choice and they have buried the vehicle up to the floorboards. I can't blame them for looking around even with Ovie right there under their nose, but, come on!....reel someone in or cut bait. I don't know if I could stand this whole insulting situation if I were Ovie Canady. Just.....wow.

It's shameful and ridiculous. Welcome to a place where hard work, commitment and loyalty get you no where. Ovie is working with these boys everyday! Everyday!! The boys have voiced their opinion. They want him as their head coach. I think they have spring practice in about a month. If a new person is what administrators want, then they need to get it together and get someone in there. If I had a kid in there, I would want a coach to get to know them before they start hitting the field. This program is about to take a downward spiral. There are some boys who have not been coming to offseason workouts because unless Ovie is hired, they don't plan on playing. I know this for a fact. Their parents have made that clear.
Perry needs to get some hiring done. They need a football coach, soccer coach, softball coach, and i've heard a baseball coach after this season ends.
