Trying to find something on the man, looks like in 2008 he resigned from that school at that time he was 23-14, so at some point he went back and won some more.

From Rifle, CO to Jeff City, MO huh? I've been to Rifle once or twice. Jeff City ain't no Rifle.

Wonder what attracted him to Jeff City?

It was the voice of Coach Adkins in a dream...it came in a whisper... "Go East young man. Save my legacy."

Jefferson City has a lot to offer, just give me some time to come up with examples

Says they were class 3 in Colorado. How does that compare to our class 3 schools here in Missouri? Anyone know? Bottom line, if you can coach, you can win at any level.

Also The Colorado website is far superior to MSHSAA'S.... I know that's a shocker

Rifle has 764 students 9-12. To answer touchdownsilly, Jeff City has at least two Culver's

And Prison Brews! And that Irish joint downtown. But other than that, oof.

 

[kaching]

[Mofan79]

That website is about as cuddly as a flaming saguaro.

I may regret this but what is a saguaro?

 

[Mofan79]

Big ol cactus

Good to know

And Arris Pizza!!.....best pizza in the Midwest!

Not having a Calgaro's, Shakespeare, or Pizza Glen makes it a 3rd world city in my book. I will say Culver's is outstanding.

 

[farmer_fran]

Wish him the best. Would like to see some stability and success back at Jeff City.

Coached hoops with a guy in the area once. I swear, we couldn't pass Jeff on the road without getting pizza at Arris and ice cream at Central Dairy. Dude caused me to gain about 20lbs one season.

There are 2 Sweet Smokes and I prefer Ice Cream Factory...

Hope he does well! As for why he'd make the move who knows. From an outsider perspective it looks like a place with potential. Is he originally from the Midwest? I know so many people who have moved to Colorado thinking they'd find an awesome 'outdoorsy' mountain life but just ended up finding excessive cost of living, crowded parks and trails, and a lacking sense of community that just felt lonely and empty.

I think liked the challenge of of making the program competitive again. That's also gonna require fixing the middle school program as well. He's around 50 years old so if hes got the energy to do it more power to him. Sounds errieely similar to Scott Bailey since GE was at Rifle HS for about 15 years and build the program up like Bailey did at Lamar and he was burn out after he took over Jeff City . Wells might be looking for more money.

Guy who owns Ice Cream Factory has major gonads opening up right across the street from Central Dairy.

Big Whiskey's now as well. Nice to get that fix as well.

 

[hsmaniac]

The funniest part of this, Djordjevich, is you think I’m joking!

That is why you retired from coaching to take that other job for your love of all things plants

Big Whiskey is Big Busty as far as food and service IMO.
