Good luck Grundy

You where called delusional when you said Scott Smith would have success at FC. I'm still right about that one. I think Mac will have success running this new and improved offense that FC has never seen before . My only concern is at what cost does the success come.

Well if this is so I guess FC will be going from the ole Miss mascot and adopt Idaho's. I couldn't resist that one. McCurry will do well there, but I can't get past the character issues and support that hire. What are we teaching our kids? That you can do whatever you want as long as you win? If this is there call I will have to find another team I can support. I just think there is more to high school football than wins and losses. Guess I will know for sure tomorrow.

Are we going to hire a coach before Christmas? This job was one of the first ones open this year and it looks like it may be one of the last ones filled. None of my "sources" even know if they have started interviews yet?

Today is supposed to be the last day for applications, any word on when interviews start, and who the front runners are. I have never seen this much secrecy in Franklin County.

I have heard several assistants names as well, but like you said no one is confirming anything to me. It is very quiet in Rebel Nation.

Your information must be better than mine, I have heard at least two big names, but I doubt either one is going to happen.

I agree Chief. I hope it is good news, but I fear it will be like every other secret. No news is rarely good news when we are talking about FC.

It would be a good idea if they let the new coach pick his staff, but that has not been the way it has been done in the past at FC. If they are smart they will allow the new coach to at least pick his coordinators, but FC being smart is a big IF these days.

Any word on when interviews are going to start? I have never seen FC this quiet about anything. All I am getting is information from people that have as much say in the decision as I do which is none.

I have heard some names thrown out in town. Don't know if any of them are even interested. I don't think there is a shot at getting Carson even if the Siegel job was not available, but with it being open I would say he is out for sure. I have heard McCurry, which I personally think is a no go due to past indiscretions, but who know I am no expert. I know that would not be my choice. I have heard several assistant coaches at other programs mentioned as well, but will not bring up any names because they might not be interested. Some are former Rebels and some have played the Rebels a lot in previous years. I have also heard a name of a current Rebel assistant. My vote is for one of these up and comers to start a new trend in Franklin County. I would hope that a new coach whomever it is will be in place by Christmas so they can start working on a staff.

I think with this job opening up there goes any chance Franklin County had at possibly getting Carson back. I would say he will be the next coach at Siegel.

On a side note. Congratulations to 3 Mr Football nominees with Franklin County ties Mitchel Burner Slayton Wild DJ Taylor

I did not say he would take it, I said he would be a good choice IF they could lure him away from Huntland. There are several other good choices who have been at FC in recent history as well. Brewer, Roberson, Christian, and Jennings would all be great choices too. All of them have been coordinators at FC besides Roberson, and he was the Head Freshman Coach that won with the same kids that Smith could not win with.

That would be a great choice if they can lure him away from HIS school and his kids school. I think Reed would do I great job.
