Well, if going AWOL after a 1st game Kentucky beatdown and resurfacing pushing a mop at the YMCA are qualifications, I like your chances Bullet!!

Common misconception. While a wing is present in both the wing-t and the georgia tech slot option offense........they are nothing alike. Coach Elrod's offense is more precisely called a Hybrid wing-t which features traditional wing t formations and plays, along with non traditional single wing type sets as well as many formations in order to gain leverage at key points of attack. It does feature the option, but only as a compliment. The Georgia tech offense is option based.......period. Both offenses do feature the basic FB trap and the rocket type quick pitch sweep..........but it ends there. The most funny thing to me is that Floridas offense is MUCH more similiar to wing t than any other offense including the spread. It is 80% single wing with a touch of spread passing.........but the pundits in our glorious football state are so tied up in the concept of "spread offense", they fail to see the forest for the trees.

After making a few calls..........I stand corrected. Coach Elrod was "demoted" and choose to take the high rode and remove himself from the situation. Good luck to Coach Elrod. Also good luck to Coach Aric........he will need it.

You are correct, but this is so very typical of young coaches. They have A system, instead of working knowledge of many systems. Talent dictates style.......not the other way around. Although spread offense is the "taste of the week" as of late...........it certainly does not fit all situations and talent levels. Portland in the spread? Might be fine.....but thier is NOTHING worse than a bad spread team. He better be sure, otherwise........well..........repeat.

Simply didnt happen. Elrod is ready to slow down and didnt like the "direction" of the administration or the county in general.

It is true that Coach Elrod is re-retiring. He is simply slowing down some and is a little ticked at the powers that be that run Wilson County Schools. Have fun taking it easy coach, you are one of the good ones!

I always find it amusing when a guy is winning, he is a "heck of a coach", but when he is losing, "he doenst know what he is doing".. The average fan doesnt have a clue. Portlands woes go MUCH further than the quality or lack therof the coach they hired.

I have not heard a remark reguarding ability of the coach. I dont think that is the issue here.......although that has yet to be seen. Portland is in a terrible situation in reguards to athletes, who they have to play, etc...... My point is, many did not apply simply because of the situation, so..............Portland hired who was available.

You have hit the nail on the head my friend. NO one in thier right mind, with any reputation or sense at all will apply. It is a stepping stone job at best, a graveyard for coaches at worst. Thats the way the general public makes it and evidently likes it, as it has been that way for years. Nothing in the near future is about to change. Macon will have 1 decent year surrounded by 10 bad ones. It is ashamed because as far as that level of football goes, Macon could be as successfull as Smith County, possibly a White House. But, the admin from the Central office on down is now and always has been stool pigeons for the politics of the town in general. It wont change until there is a mass death of the crumudeons that keep it that way. Sorry, but sometimes the truth....REALLY HURTS

Yes they do and you are correct.........all will go......WHAT? Problem is that coaches in the know understand the predicament that Portland is in. In is like many jobs, unreal expectations. The reality is Portland has great facilites, average athletes, poor pay, and is playing in probably the 2nd best district in the state. I wish the young man well.........he will need it.

Portland will soon be naming a new head coach........will be a surprise to everyone involved.

It is done...........will be announced in the morning. No surprise

Flatt is not interested and they are not interested in him. Down to 4, could have been selected late today.........not sure. Here is your clue............lets play coach swap.

Down to 4. 3 in state, 1 not.
