don't know all the history regarding Bayside and the why and the who re: their pro-UVA/anti-VT sentiments. Anyone care to educate us who don't know?

Why would he? He's already got the wrestling gig at Iowa.

 

[Sleepy T]

Something doesn't sound right about this. Any info. On why he is stepping down?

 

[sparko]

Probably headed to c'ville .. Bahahaha

 

[MattB4VT]

You actually might be right about heading to uva... To be the RB coach. And i think we all know that uva just signed a RB from bayside

Hoping to find out more info today. Could be very interesting. If he is headed to hooville it could be very good for VT

 

[hokiegrad]

you mean long-term, Evan? Because in the short term doesn't it just give Bayside kids another pull to UVA besides their teammates on the roster?

Recap:
Moore seems to be done coaching at the high school level , mainly because of the drama, HS transfers, and comments by disgruntled fans. I don't blame him really. I am sure if he is older and has seen things change in ultra competitive HS football, he doesn't feel like he gets paid enough to put up with that shit. Didn't realize he coached at NSU. Didn't speculate on where to next, but UVA would not shock me. Obviously if given the opportunity would likely leap at that offer.

Most of the things he was "upset" about he is not, fwiw...

He will probably be joining the staff in some capacity, but it's most likely NOT as the RB coach.

I see. What is your take the situation Evan? What is going on with this? Can you ellaborate?

At any rate, I was just be saying is if that was his reasoning for leaving, that would be believable. An older HS school coach who has been around for a long time might get fed up with other schools trying to poach his players, although this is probably the norm in a talent rich area like 757, Richmond, NoVA where the best high school programs are. Hell, it has been widely rumored that Salem HS does the same here in SWVA. I am sure this has been going on in other places for much longer.

If he would be leaving to take an opportunity with a FBS school, he wouldn't need to sugarcoat it. Any HS coach would love to have that chance.

Either way, if he does end up at UVA. I wonder how other 757 coaches would respond to that?? Morgan at OFSHS is the first that comes to mind.
