Popular opinion , it’s likely they removed t Payne because they had a bigger fish in their plans, but lost him . That's the other consensus. That "bigger fish" has been the eye of another fishing rod for quite a few years. They finally reeled it home. So that tells me that fish may have looked at the bait but already knew something better was in the water. Now Willow is trying to find Nemo ......

Not sure about the Grove Assistant, but the Evangel Assistant was Jesse Schmidt who came highly recommended from Swofford and others. I really think they let go of Payne because they thought they could get Swofford, when they struck out there, there was no name value that would save them some face, so they went back to what they usually do and take care of one of their own. A big reason that Willow is and will have a hard time competing in boys sports, is because they would rather take care of a few families vs. winning. They think they can do both, but it will NEVER work!! The administration can only blame themselves. Of course with the latest hiring, 4 of the administrators are now Varsity Head Coaches! 🤣

There is no way the plan all along was to hire Schwalm.
They had their sights set on bigger hires and those fell apart.
This was a fall back option with the hope that they can still land a big hire down the road

He left on his own, wasn't ran off your right, wasn't ran out of town. leaving because a combination of promises were made to lure him to take the job and not kept. the optic is hometown boy comes home to revive program. there was major buzz, and then 1 year later he leaves to go to WP.

Willow is a clique - they emphasize their own over "outsiders"

Willow is having hard enough times, they dont need fans or other towns throwing them a pitty party. lets all hope Schwalm can get them headed in the right direction.

I think the pity Party should be for Schwalm as he has signed up for another round of WS wishy washy coaching carousel...maybe the $$$$ was to good to pass up?
