Crazy to think about that Fru was only 4th HC in Daniel history. A program that has been around for 65 (ish) years and this will only be the 5th HC ever.stretch wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 2:48 pmCertainly a surprise as far as timing. This was his dream job and he got us back to the top of the mountain 3 times. Obviously can’t say for certainty he won’t take another job but I would be more shocked if he did wind up at another school.
As far as replacements, I would think we’d hire internally like last time. DC Kirk Ellison I would assume is going to be the front runner to take over.

Am I crazy to think this could be Jeff Scott’s next job?

I can think of Fruster, Sitterle, Singleton and Thornton… that’s it at DWD HC?preacherman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 11, 2025 1:15 pmCrazy to think about that Fru was only 4th HC in Daniel history.

Re: Daniel
Come to think of it, Thornton was at Central HS. He had gone to Pickens by the time Daniel opened.DFOLDMAN wrote: ↑Tue Mar 11, 2025 7:49 pmI can think of Fruster, Sitterle, Singleton and Thornton… that’s it at DWD HC?preacherman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 11, 2025 1:15 pmCrazy to think about that Fru was only 4th HC in Daniel history.

Re: Daniel
Yes I miscounted originally and was wrong. I reached out to a guy that tracks Daniel history. He sent me this list. You’re correct, Thornton was at Central.DFOLDMAN wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 7:02 amCome to think of it, Thornton was at Central HS.

Here is a list in the years:
Bob Patton 1954
Howard Bagwell
1955-1959
Dick Singleton
1960-1989
Allan Sitterle
1990-2005
Randy Robinson
2006-2016
Jeff Fruster
2016-2024
Still pretty impressive to only have 6 coaches in 70 years. I forgot about Bagwell. He was 42-11-1 in his tenure.
