Good guy and good coach. And, from what I've always heard, a phenomenal teacher.
Regardless of overall athletic ability, thought his teams were always very disciplined. True testament of a good teacher.
He took over after Acklin left.
If I remember correctly, they went with an outside hire that was from out of state after Acklin left and he bailed before even showing up or something, Kenaga was going to retire or at least be done with coaching, and then after the guy bailed, Kenaga took over that summer.
Tad may have some more insight to this than I do.
Y’all think Spittler is going to try to get the job?
After Acklin left Mtn View, he went to Mtn Home to be the OC with Ary, then came back to Missouri after one year and worked with Spittler(his former player) at Cabool as either the OC or just an assistant so he could finish the 1 year he needed for his 20 in Missouri, then he went back to Mtn Home and is the OC there again.
I wonder if Spittler would get Acklins endorsement. He’s younger, but he’s done better with Cabool than I think anyone thought he would these last 5-6 years and is a Mtn View-Liberty alum who played for Acklin and Kenaga
I would say it is very likely that Spittler puts his name in the hat to be the next coach. Seems like a solid resume. Liberty grad who played for Acklin. Head coach who did pretty well at Cabool. I would say the only way he does not get Acklins endorsement is if a son of Coach Acklin wants the job. I know there are several folks who are very high on one of his sons who is their special teams coach. But he would be pretty young with no head coaching experience.
Can confirm about Coach Hopkins. Had him as a coach and teacher. Was fantastic at both. Glad to see he continued having success.
Sounds like no coordinator or playcalling experience either. I wanna say spittler is early 30s with 5-6 years head coaching experience in that conference.
After Jaelon, Acklins next oldest son can’t be more than what…24? Just spitballing
I would say that is pretty close. I think he graduated from college in 2020.
And now you have soccer at a lot of schools. And swimming. What? Didn't have that back in the boomer days.
Sounds like Walnut Heights
Sounds like Walnut Heights
Exactly. Walnut Heights has parents where the mom stays home and don't even work.
We shall see. I didn’t even think about that.
He prefers to run the ball a lot more than pass though so I wonder if that’s going to count against him.
Liberty has been a spread passing school from the mighty mites all the way up through HS for probably almost 2 decades now
Saw some of his teams play at state.
The Rutledge girl ended up being pretty dang good too. Think she went to Drury.
That would be an interesting hire, like you said more of a running style than throwing. But strong ties to the school.
yep
went to the final 4 also in 2002
what was the big linebacker that went to illinois name
that kid was to much for class 2 back then
I think he would be a great hire. I just think it would be a toss up as to whether or not they would.
Especially when you’re going back to coach in your home town, a lot of this comes down to does he have any one on the school board who has a reason not to like him.
Small town BS you know.
I think he would far and away be the most qualified on all levels, alum, college player, 17 years of head coaching experience which for the majority of his career was in very competitive medium to large school conferences and a state title under his belt.
It’s a no brainer if he’s interested. But would they give him time to implement his system.
It would be a big change.
