Where did you hear it tho

Thats a head scratcher? East has been a successful program. Usually you go up in jobs not down.

I agree why make a lateral or step down move? If true I wish him luck and know who I would like take over the Tartans

My only bet is that he will make more as football coach and (assuming he is a teacher) they opened up a teaching spot for him

But this is a big hire considering South Point’s situation. East has been a solid D7 program the last few years. The big attractions for Gifford I guess were more money (maybe) and much nicer facilities

[bigpoppy20]

Would be a huge step up in pay, facilities, and school size. However, he inherits a program that is in complete shambles, but with a few solid players returning. He will have to plan to struggle for a few years to gain numbers and community confidence. Good luck to the new coach!

Id rather win then get paid. The chances of anyone having a 5-5 record at south point in the next two years is very unlikely

[BBALL99]

Coach Gifford isn't from Sciotoville correct? So no real ties to that area. The facilities alone would be a reason to try a new job. I'm sure the pay will be better also.

Wins do not feed your family. Based on the info I was given, this will be a huge raise for the coach. Sciotoville is just not in a position to be very competitive from a money standpoint with other local schools.

I've yet to see official news on the hire, but congratulations to coach Gifford nonetheless. Any word on if Kratzenberg is fielding any jobs elsewhere?

I agree, family has to come first especially if the pay increase is substantially better. Coach Gifford had a nice run with the Tartans, if he can get the South Point kids to buy in he could turn it around if given time.

I would assume the loss of great talent and lack of great talent coming up played into this decision for Coach Gifford

[osumufan]

It's official. Gifford was hired tonight at the SP board meeting. Good luck to him, I hope he can right the ship! We need it that's for sure!

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

well congratulations. now let's hope ole tartanblue's fellers can find another top quality coach for them kilt wearin tartan fans.

[Proud_Pirate63]

Hope Coach Gifford can get them pointed in the right direction.

[OVC]

Good luck to him. He has his work cut out for him. But did Kratzenburg quit or was let go? I thought all things considered he did a good job for the situation he had.

[golfis4me]

Good luck to Coach Gifford! Hopefully both sides are committed to this. 4th coach in last 6 seasons. Program is in desperate need of stability. Let's not forget this team was 2-0 to start the year.

[rxburgfan]

Takes time to work a plan and people have to give program time to develop.
