Who will be the defensive coordinator? I assume Smith will be calling the offense after looking at his resume. Whats Price and Christian coaching?

What will Austin be coaching if he comes?

Praise the Lord. I wish I would have been at school on Friday when he came into town on his white horse. That must have been a beautiful sight to behold. Don’t act like Smith is doing all of us Moore Countians a favor. As for Mac, compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Look at their winning percentage and playoff experience. I am not for sure if you could put Mac and Smith in the same category. Mac may apply for jobs but if you look at his track record he is not one that stays a few years and leaves. He did a great job at Moore County, Marshall County and seems to be doing a pretty good job in Ripley, MS. If I am not mistaken, I believe he was a first year head coach at Moore County when he got the job. The nature of coaching, there seems to be a lot of coaches around the state that stay at their school year in and year out. I mean coaches who have been there for 5, 10, 15 years and who have been offered other jobs. I know there will be problems in marriages. I can assure you I don’t believe coaches have any more stress on their marriage than that of a doctor, lawyer, factory worker, or teacher. You stated the following in one of your earlier post: It's hard to find coaches who haven't had marital problems these days since they are expected to work 7 days a week in FB season. You get out what you put into it. I know of many coaches who have coached for years and have remained married to their spouse. If winning football, basketball, golf, softball, tennis or any other game is more important than your marriage/family than it seems your priorities may be out of order. You could win state championships and district titles but if you fail at your marriage and your family, do you really consider yourself a winner. As for his resume: Have you actually read the resume? Not really impressed. Is Smith really the best the principal could find? 14-17 not that great. It is stated in the paper he has a proven track record but I seem to not be able to find it. Bigredbird, as far as wanting guys with no head coaching experience, we just want the best for the program.

I have read for several days now that Coach Smith will be excused if he does not have a winning season in Moore County; however, in an earlier post someone stated that he was excused from his last school for that exact reason..........now lets think about this: if he was excused from his last school for not winning, WHY was he hired based on his "proven track record of success". I also read that he was "14-17" his last three years....so again, where is the proven track record? He won a state championship nearly a decade ago; what has he done since then? You have to ask yourself, did HE build that team or stumble upon an opportunity. I also heard that he has been "consistently reaching the playoffs"over his career, but ironically only made it ONCE in the last three years; i must have misunderstood the consistency they are talking about. I think Moore Co may deserve better than that if they really want the "football tradition" back.
