If it isn't deleted, can it, at least, be moved to draft space? – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 14:55, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

Rather than "Chuck Smith (Football Coach)" shouldn't it be "Chuck Smith (football coach)" (decapitalize per WP:MOS) or "Chuck Smith (American football coach)" (to distinguish between the two meanings of "football" (gridiron football and football (aka, "soccer")))? – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 17:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. All other articles for assistant coaches of American football say just that. I've moved the article. —FORMALDUDE^(talk) 06:07, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Head coach in 2014 at Madison Central or Boyle?

The article lists Madison Central as one of the schools where Smith was a head coach in 2014. The January 2014 Kentucky Journal cite supports that when it says "Smith — who last week accepted the head coaching job at Madison Central — ...".^[1] However, many of the other sources list the schools at which he has coached, but they don't mention Madison. Furthermore, the article also lists Smith as being head coach at Boyle beginning in 2014 for his second term there, which is supported by the Courier-Journal cite, which says "After one year as an assistant at Bardstown in 2013, Smith took over the Boyle County program once again in 2014." and does not mention Madison Central.^[2] In 2014 was he coaching at Madison Central or Boyle? Are there any citations that can clarify this? – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 14:54, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Found the answer. According to WKYT, Smith left Madison Central three weeks into the job to take over at Boyle whose coach had resigned.^[3] – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 18:36, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
