TennesseeVol...are there any coaches that have Jackson North Side ties that might be a good fit? Jacobs at Peabody coached there. Carey Craig played there. Perhaps Hardegree might be worth calling?

If somehow Jacobs comes back to North Side to be the head coach, I will send you and 3 others to Bora Bora for a week. I don't believe he will come back. His wife is the girls basketball coach at Bradford High. I think he is pretty content at Peabody. Plus this might sound weird but Trenton is a sexy place to live now, and that probably has to do with Peabody football. 

 

Carey Craig, don't know much information about him.

 

Hardegree could but would he want to leave USJ to head to North Side? He could, but probably not. It's a different environment. And USJ has a better chance to win state than North Side.

Glad to see this thread is finally getting some traffic. I have heard from several reliable sources that Robert Gillard is the front runner for the head coaching position.

 

I have heard that as well. Also heard that him and Principal Bridgeman were frat brothers while they were both in college. If that is not a "buddy buddy" hire then do you mind telling what is? Being sarcastic by the way...

I'm not familiar with Gillard. However, hiring from within seems reasonable. North Side has won a lot of games. One would think there are some quality assistants there. Vowell is a well respected, established coach. I would think whoever is hired will have big shoes to fill.

Gillard has only finished one season at North Side. He was at Memphis Ridgeway before he came to Jackson last summer. Not trying to sound like a smart a** because I know you have really no ties to North Side football. I do get what you are saying, but I would rather have Coach McCauley as a head coach over Gillard.

From the games I saw and what I am being told is McCauley is not ready for the job. He needs to find him a baseball job some where.

I agree. I don't think he is ready for it because I can see a few locker room issues coming up. Not saying that will guarantee happen, I don't believe he will have the locker room and players under control control. He could've gotten the baseball job, but somehow Coach Clark (who is at Madison coaching baseball) wanted Coach Maxwell to get the job and Maxwell got it. I just don't want North Side to hire Gillard without looking to go outside and find somebody that potentially could do better than Gillard. But I don't know how good Gillard is as a coach, I'll have to wait and see.

      Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.

      I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.

      Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
