He was not well liked at Mallard Creek. Not a leader of young men.
Wish him well.

Gee...nice article Langston...Rutledge wasn't one of your "boys" so you can't write a nice article on the man. Reality was he was the best coach in the I-Meck over the past 3 seasons...He didn't have any of the talent other schools had and he won with them....He's a top coach in the area and a big loss to CMS....Stay classy Langston...stay classy

Love the Curry story, he's a bonafide star...and he is someone that is easy to root for, and an added bonus that he's a Charlottean making us all proud. As an NBA fan, especially of the 90's decade, I just have to correct you on one point you made in the article. Golden State's Run TMC team of the 90's did not include Chris Webber, he wasn't drafted until the mid 90's and he's much younger than Mullins and Hardaway. The Run TMC team you speak of consisted of TIm hardaway, Mitch richmond and Chris Mullins.....not Hardaway, Mullins and Webber. Great article, despite this 90's NBA error.

2013-05-11T08:30:36.060-04:00

Yeah you say he is a good person, but yet he has been scheming with Conner, Allran, and fat Fisenne to take the job of the coach who got him there in the first place. This is not something that just recently came up. They have been planning this shit since back in December when they tried to get Chadwick to resign the first time.

"Bailey is inheriting strong administrative and fan support and interest at Marvin Ridge"

A strong administration might be the most ridiculous thing that has been posted in all of these comments. Lets see, you have a complete joke of a principal in Conner, a laughingstock of an athletic director in the wig-wearing Allran and worst of all, the person running the sports there is Fisenne, who has zero experience as an athlete or a coach.
I will give Coach Bailey a chance, as it seems his previous head jobs weren't the best situation. But this couldn't be any better. He inherits a great program - that was set up by Chadwick - and as bad as that administration is, they will give him everything he needs because they can't afford for him to fail.

2013-05-10T23:35:08.575-04:00

Coach Bailey was also the Defensive Coordinator at Red Springs two years ago when they won 10 games for the first time in 25 years. He built a solid foundation in the Weightroom for the Red Devils who this past season won 10 games again. He's a good coach and better person give him a chance

2013-05-10T22:46:49.182-04:00

I can't help but laugh at you Chadwick haters you are so ignorant..He built the program into one of the best in the state top to bottom. His problem was that he didn't play the politics game. The 3-4 parents who caused all the problems did nothing to help the program, no money, no time, etc...and for the family who has a history of getting coaches fired going back to youth baseball I hope you are happy...What always puzzled me was, if you had an issue why didn't you just contact him...He had an open door policy..Chadwick is a good person, over the years there have been a number of kids who had mental challenges and probably should not have been on a HS football team but Chadwick let them be on the team..these are the things you don't know about him...and you probably don't care,, but now you know..

2013-05-10T22:30:52.546-04:00

Yeah the foundation is there alright but that's because of the coach before him and everything he did. He will walk into this already setup for success, all due to his predecessor. Probably is coach bailey above right there, embarrassingly defending his past record as a coach.

2013-05-10T20:57:33.196-04:00

When Bailey was at Piedmont, it was during a time in which there was no support from the administration, or parents, and little interest in the program from the kids. This did not change until the school and community there got tired of it and put some money and time into developing the program from the youth leagues up. Likewise, Green Sea-Floyds has never been a small school football power in SC either, so I suspect the same may have been true there.

Bailey is inheriting strong administrative and fan support and interest at Marvin Ridge... something it seems he may not have had at his other two head coaching stops. So it will be interesting to see how he does in a situation where the foundation is already there, and he is not having to build from the ground up.

If little johhny doesnt play again this year and they post a losing record the parents will witch hunt once again and drive another Coach out of town. MR Football Parents are a joke. Come to grips if little johhny cant play already.

2013-05-10T11:18:07.675-04:00

The bottom line is that the Marvin football program can now work on a whole "team" atmosphere between coaches, kids and their parents. No longer will players quit mid season like the four players that did this season. Restructuring the program into a positive atmosphere should be more important that wins. Four assistant coaches also have quit the program, one left to coach at a rival school while another still teaches, all while the old coach was at the helm.

2013-05-10T09:21:26.687-04:00

To the previous poster...the coaching staff in previous years has always been announced at parent meetings.

OK, this is a hopefull hire. We hope the new coach does well. If his past record is an idicator of future success, then the chances are slim. That's why the AD didn't make the record known. Bottom line...it comes down to wins and loses. A successfull football team generates revenue that pays for others sports that are an expense to the bottom line. Donorations will slow down to support the efforts to build a field house or install field turf if the team has lossing seasons. Will the Marvin Ridge community be happy when there are more people there to watch the band than the game? Listen, this is high school football. Playing time is earned and is not an entitlement like the iPhones and nice cars the kids have been given. If your son has not been working at his craft to earn playing time to improve the "TEAM," then you as a parent need to have a conversation with your son. Be accountable! You shouldn't have to have off field conversations with the coach or donate money to influence the coaching staff to give your son playing time. This is not Pop Warner football.

2013-05-10T09:01:34.096-04:00

I remember Coach Chadwick addressing us after AK this past season in the gym informing us that we had to forfeit the East Meck game due to using an ineligible player. This player missed too many days of school the previous spring due to being sick. Chadwick was the acting AD that spring! He either knew about it and didn't disclose it or was too in competent to follow policy and inform the player prior to the summer. He also told us that this is the first time a forfeit happened to him as a head coach. Google him in Georgia and he was forced to resign for the same thing while he was both the AD and Head Coach. Facts!!

To 7:00 AM anonymous,
Thank you for clarifying that you are a parent whose focus has been on supporting the coach rather than the TEAM. Perhaps now there can be a TEAM rather than the support cast for a narsisist.
