Former Escambia Coach Willie Spears Named As 1A Vernon Coach
March 27, 2015
The District 2 Class 1A Vernon Yellow Jackets have a new head football coach — Willie Spears, former Escambia High School head coach.
The Northview Chiefs’ dreams of a second state championship were stopped cold in round one of the playoffs last November in Vernon. The Yellow Jackets beat the Chiefs 36-19 in the Region 1-1A football semifinal.
The Chiefs are in District 1, Class 1A with Baker and Jay. Vernon is in District 2 with Cottondale, Graceville, Holmes County, Sneads and Wewahitchka. In the state playoff series, the two districts meet in a regional semifinal game.

Not so sure on the rail roading. Not following direction from those above you is sometimes considered insubordination.
But I agree they are getting a good coach.
Your getting a good man who got railroaded at Escambia. Funny how legislation is now seeking changes so the student can go to any school they choose.
