Perfect fit BPM. I thought that there would have been a community wide push to get him hired last time (there may have been) including the administration... better late than never.

Go watch a Milan game from the last 2 years, it'll make complete sense then. You don't get time when you go 6-6 with the talent Milan had

I live in Milan and used to go to ALL the games, home or away.  Last year I went to 2 or 3.  I couldn't watch the mess that was going on.  This season I did not go to a single game.  I don't know coach Teddy but from everything I hear he is a good guy.  But just because you are a good guy doesn't mean that one will have success at a HC position.  Does anyone remember when Dan Bland was fired after 3 seasons?  Winning 5 or 6 games just isn't acceptable at Milan.

If admin is smart the phone at the football office of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College has been ringing off the hook....

Is that where Rod Smith is an assistant now? I liked him a lot when he played for Tommy West at Memphis. Tommy said he was one of the few guys to play for him as a true freshman.

Yep. After his injury he was a graduate assistant at Memphis. Went to be an assistant at Mississippi College and is now a D line coach at MGCCC. He is a special person.

No push that I know of. Should have been and should be now. He has the character, work ethic and coaching experience. Would be a no brainer.

HA!!! If this hooey was true, he would HAVE MADE THEM FIRE HIM. I'm sure he had tenure.

 

No possible way ANY man with dignity walks out of a dream job by "force" without a brawl.

When We had the old 5 class system Milan was 2A but so was Alcoa. We played each other in the last 2A title game in the old 5 class system in ‘08 with Alcoa winning 28-14. We go back to 5 classes Alcoa would be 2A as well enrollment wise. They may decide to play up based on who is projected to be in their region to save money on travel costs. 

My projections have Alcoa being the 6th smallest in 3A if we go to 5 classes.  Milan would be projected as the second largest in 2A.  These based on 2018 numbers.  You are right in that they could be in the same class when the 2020 numbers come out.

Got a lot of respect for you as a poster and I’m sure your numbers are solid. Question is how could you possibly know what the tssaa would use as the cut off numbers for each class??  They haven’t released this info for 5 classes have they??  I may have missed something.

In no particular order names I have heard mentioned:

Smith

Woolf

Ward

McConnell

Rang

Vowell

A few more just to get people thinking/talking:

Gaddis

Swenson

Morris(could he be coaxed out of retirement?)

Woods

Did I miss any?

No sir.  I simply divided classes equally by five based on 2018 numbers accounting for new schools that played in regions this year.

 

New public and charter schools opening all the time.  Most appear to be small (less than 400).  If they decide to field football teams that would likely push Milan up.  All is pure speculation on my part.
