Ronster23 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Union Grove ISD has a new Athletic Director and Head Football Coach after Union Grove defensive coordinator Scotty Laymance was promoted Friday night by the UGISD School Board. The board met in special session and voted to give Laymance a five-year contract. Laymance succeeds coach Roger Adams, who chose to retire. Read more about Laymance in next week's Gladewater Mirror.

No surprise there. I would have been shocked if the job was given to anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOB Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 WOW ... Five year contract is a bit unusual, especially for a small school ... must think they REALLY have their guy (or he wouldn't take it for less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 year contract is indeed a very unusual occurrence these days, DOB just made a very valid point. In fact I can't remember anyone in East Tx getting a 5 year contract lately.

It has been updated. The contract is a 5 MONTH contract (this will be for the reminder of this school year).

DOB, 28 years of coaching and I see no end in sight. This quote is so very true. The kids I have coached are very special to me. I've been blessed to have a handful of rings but when it is all said and done the thing that makes me the proudest is having an ex player tell me about his career or introduce me to his family. They all still call me Coach and it makes me happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prayer is that you stay with it as long as your heart and soul can take it ... the reality is that there's always one more kid out there that needs someone to guide them on the path to manhood.

Young men know the rules - old men know the exceptions. And always be wary of an old man in a profession where people usual wear out and retire early. lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
