Taking the Carousel in a different, slow news direction. Ronnie Cottrell stepping down after 9 greatly yuge successful years at Mobile Christian. Coached at about 5 other high schools, as well as Carroll High of Ozark. All indications are that he wants to get back in to college ranks, and rumors are it may be one of the openings at South Alabama.
Cottrell was at the center of Bama looking down the barrel of a gun back around 99'. He actually won a huge verdict in a defamation suit against the NCAA and Tom Culpepper arising out of that. Have no idea how any appeals turned out.
Had the opportunity to meet Cottrell years ago when he was at Carroll. Our firm sponsored the Team of the Week award. I remember him being extremely nice and accommodating. Anyway, slow news day.
