Dan Bland from Humboldt. Yes I get it, he is in his late 60's. But this guy won at Humboldt, made the playoffs. Take him.

Don't worry! We will go the good ole boy route. Go back to low numbers, lack of enthusiasm. That is our comfort zone.

I wish ya'll the best. I hope you find a great coach.

Heck ya!! How dare him and the QB club get new weights, equipment, update the facilities, film room redone, revamped locker room, distill a sense of pride and winning attitude in kids .. they must be removed for doing that!! We don't need a football program. Its a basketball school and hunting club!!

 

1. What does QB club have to do with this?

2. Many of these things (updating facilities, etc.) seem to be what Jackson termed as "politics" in the Messenger article. "The past five years I've been focused on getting the fieldhouse fixed up, hiring coaches, trying to get the junior high programs in better shape. I'm not into all that. I'm not a politician." Maybe he's just not "into" being a head coach.

3. He was not "removed," as you say; he resigned.

Its called sarcasm.

We don't want great coaches. We don't wanna win. We don't want a coach with ambition!!

got news for you....unless you are referring to girls basketball....the rebels are no longer a basketball school nor will they be anytime soon

[gohornets]

They'll be better off IMO.

Don't know if Dude got another offer or what. But It was a big suprising when he left- as far as the Jack of all Trades comment- well, it's a high school, not a college facility. Sometimes you have to wear many hats and do more work besides the X's and O's.

I understand that a good crop of applicants have showed interest in the position- locally and from other areas. OC hopes to have a head coach in place before the Christmas - so an off season program can take place and get the program back on a solid direction and footing by spring.

He didn't leave he resigned. Big difference. He is Still there and still doing stuff. You make it sound like he left in the middle of the night or something.
