I'd heard rumors about this back in the middle of the football season....

 

Any names surfaced yet??...Has he handpicked anyone to take the job from the current staff??

Is Pritchard also retiring?

 

You have McAdams and Adams on staff with head coaching experience if I am not mistaken.

 

Swenson wants to come back I hear.

 

I have heard Ward rumored for this job as well.

 

Then again I could be way off.

[Mr. Mustang]

I had heard he announced to the team yesterday afternoon. He was picked by the late Coach Ward to succeed him. Mansfield like Coach Paul Ward had a rough start early in his tenure by going 1-9 his 2nd year. He finished with 151-62 over 17 seasons and a winning percentage of 71% against some of the toughest competion in the state.... Mansfield led the Mustangs to 7 semifinal appearances and a state title in 2003 and runner up in 1999 and 2004. I know it must have been hard for "Coach" to finalize his decision. He is close to his players like most good coaches are.

 

Rumors have already started but since this is so sudden and has just been announced, nobody has had the time to "feel out" the administration yet. I'm sure the powers to be will find the right man to lead the Mustangs. I don't think it will be long although the new coach may not be able to lead spring practice so Mansfield could lead through the spring.

 

Probably be in January before we hear anything.. Go Mustangs........

Thanks for the kind comments.

Getting off the subject a bit but I witnessed the Lipscomb-Fulton game again this year and Coach Mac and his staff just plain outcoached the Falcons. When asked about the 2 offsides penalities against Fulton, Coach Mac didn't say that was good coaching but only said "that's football". That Cobb for Fulton is an amazing player. Congratulations on another State Title....

I congratulate and commend any Coach who can be successful in today's demanding society and have a successful program without being controversial or arrogant. This school is losing a true gentleman of the profession not likely to be equalled for quite a while there. Those shoes to fill might be size 26. Have a joyous and peaceful retirement journey without too much withdrawal!!!!!

His retirement starts at the end of next football season is what he is telling his neighbors over in C- Town.

Probably has enough sick days to retire a year early. I'm expecting a big announcement the first part of january /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I'm guessing Swenson or Ward?

[DearOldDad]

I think people here already have a good idea who it will be.
