I did this a year or two back and it was fun.
I have interviewed 10 coach's and as I did the last time I will post the questions and their responses word for word as they respond.
All coaches no where the results are being posted and knew so before they answered.
Here is the first interview
Coach's Name- Chris Mobley Position- Head Coach School- Hughes
1) What is the most gratifying thing you get from coaching? Turning athletes into good solid young men on and off the field.
2)As a coach and/or player What was your biggest win? Our win vs Aiken this past season. It was our first time beating them since I have been here.
3)What is the hardest offense to prepare for? Spread w/RPO action
4)Do you thing open enrollment and/pr the competitive balance has helped or hinder the sport? With how much transferring and recruiting that goes on it doesn't matter what system you have in place. We have a 25-30 man roster but we are D3 and would face teams with 50-70 man rosters in the playoffs.
5)Who has been the best player you have faced as a player or coach? As a player Javon Ringer, as a Coach Kayvon Britton from West Hi
6)What would you change about the playoffs and the state final game? I wouldn't change the playoff format but would love to see the final games in Columbus.
7)How do you feel about playing out of state opponents? No issue with it but I think teams should prioritize in state games before looking out of state.
8)As fans we often look at a match up and say there is no chance for this team to beat that team. If this holds true for coach's. How do you prepare your team for a game you know/think you can't win? We prepare for every game the same and expect to win.
9) Who is the one coach you most enjoy coaching against and beating? Armand Tatum at West Hi is a great guy. Also the first game of my career was vs Pete Hollon at Paint Valley, hes a class act also.
(Coach Mobley knows I am friends with Coach Hollon from Paint Valley)
10) If you were not coaching football what other sport could you coach? I probably would not be coaching anything haha.... Possibly basketball, I enjoy watching and playing it in my free time.
