Ah ok gotcha. Seems odd, but if Clemons 100% agrees with it then kudos to Gordy for plan execution.

I remember how we were told constantly that the past 4 years were a disappointment for us, so I figured I’d dish it back out to them.

I hope so because this past season was considered a disappointment.

Prayers for the Peabody family.

Was the leaving of Gordy’s Coach a surprise or expected? Will a new coach come in and change the offense? Gordy should be a front runner in the East for 2022.

That’s good info.

Double Pumper??? I pushed for it all last year. I believe we’d be back to back champions had he played in the championship game in 2020. Our QB we had was great at times, but just struggled more. I’m told it was mostly due to restrictions on who to throw to and where down the field by the HC in 2020. Yep yep yep. Plus I believe this 2021 team came together as a brotherhood due to all the adversity they were dealt. Definitely will go down as the best season in a very, very, VERY long time. We actually had a HC that took the situation in front of him and designed a play that worked. Actually had to coach, and he did just that. No choking in the big game.

Yep it’s a shame they don’t get the attention until the State game. I understand the All-Star game. Kelly has the work ethic so I believe he would succeed as a pwo. However, I wish we had more go to one of the community colleges like Hutchinson’s or the one in Mississippi, then use those as a spring board to get a scholarship at an SEC school and still have 2-3 years of eligibility.

I thought they were pretty relevant sports-wise, but mismanagement of money will get you quick. I hate to see a school shut down because of money.

I had heard Victory applied for it too.

Ah ok, thanks guys.

Looks like Gordy is looking for a HC according to another thread. @Southtowner

Congrats to the Ganaway brother.

Who is this Jackson man y’all talking about? I’m not familiar with Oaklands coaches other than Creasy.

Yah I don’t suspect Fitz to leave either, but sometimes money talks. I for one want Meigs to stay relevant because they are a lot like us with small town football.

Bump

Nah I wouldn’t think so. They will always have talent to compete, but wimpy enough not to achieve.

I guess the question is will Fitz hang around if the talent pool has dried up?

Ah ok. A lot of people seem to have heard it during State weekend.

Have you heard it before then?

Surprise surprise!! Then again, AYE!

I’d be willing to say he has flipped to story up in Canada to make himself look good. But anyways, I’m still angry about it and it will always stick with me, but only in the back of mind because the front is full of Gold trophies without him.

You can’t have Coach Stone back lol. I, too, miss those rivalry days with Boyd. It became such a rivalry that in many ways was more fun that the Jasper/SP one. It was more competitive for many years while the Jasper one was stagnant. I doubt we were turned down by Boyd. Most likely it was a scheduling issue since they made the full move to D2, but then again you never know. We’ve all heard rumblings about the next coach(es), but at the end of the day we just gotta trust the process. The couple of candidates I’ve heard R-U-M-O-R-S about would certainly get the nod from me if my vote meant anything. The only things I ask of the process are: (1) talk to the kids. It doesn’t have to be who they want but most DEFINITELY needs to be someone they need (2) leave the politics out of it meaning the parents and the community leaders. I’m not saying don’t give them a voice, but just don’t let their voices dictate the decision. This will only put us right back where we were with CCJ and CBW. (3) let the decision be made by the AD, the Principal, and allow the longest tenured current coach to have a voice, unless that coach is up for the job, then speak with the next longest tenure.

Yep we at SP may see that happen a little here and there over the next several years, but I don’t see it being 3 years downtime, maybe 1 or 2 at the most. 2-3 really great football players at our level can make or break a season.
