Just when you thought it was safe to think that the CVAC coaching-go-round had finally stopped, it may be starting again.
On June 10th North Rowan principal Rodney Bass called head coach Avery Cutshaw into his office and fired him. Now there is speculation that perhaps Gettys, a 1984 graduate of North Rowan, may be in line to replace Cutshaw. It is confirmed that Gettys is interested and has sent in a resume. The deadline was last Friday.
The firing of Cutshaw has left Rowan County football in an uproar. It looks as though Cutshaw fell victim to disgruntled Cavalier fans who apparently blamed him for everything that they felt was going wrong with the Cavalier program - including the fact that North Rowan is scheduled to move down to Class 1A in 2009.
For the record, realignments are based solely on ADM figures and are not a form of punishment or relegation. The consensus is that the firing of Cutshaw was uncalled for and poorly handled.
Is it possible that the recent hasty departure of Doug Justice from St. Stephens has set a precedent that would make it seem just a little less inappropriate for Gettys to bail on the Tigers with approximately six weeks before the beginning of pre-season practice? Stay tuned!
