I don't think money for him is a big concern. That's just my speculation. Looks like only needing 3 more years in TN as compared to 9 more years in GA to get a double dip would be a factor as well.

To your accusation, maybe I am kinfolk or should be - I may be an uncle of a player at MSSU that saw him change some young men, or perhaps a parent of a player at ND who saw him enforce respect for parents, then again I might be a Raptor dad who appreciates the extra time he spent working with my boy to teach him the offense, or maybe I am just a NJ guy who has watched a man come in and challenge our kids not to just play football but to be involved in the community ~ like working your precious skillet bread festival or helping out a couple of old farmers. If you have a negative opinion about him, just say it...….. LOPAO, Old Pirate has addressed feelings, thoughts & opinion. OP says The #1 thing a coach needs to establish are stability & commitment. The back pack reputation reflects short term self promotion. Appears Jasper has chose another back pack self promoter. Most say DP is a fine guy & good coach. Old Pirate would never favor a known short term hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter42 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Maybe, I have missed it but where is the Press Releases on this hire? Are we all still speculating or is it a done deal? After reading you guys responses and if the retirement dates are all correct and at his age. SInce he is so highly thought off from all accounts and with the personal connection/relationships from the past he is certainly wise for parlaying his services for at least 3 years to set himself and family up nicely for some extra income as apposed to waiting several more years for that to happen. Most good guys will get 3 years regardless of wins an losses so he will come out of this deal smelling like a rose. Its not what you know, its who you know!

Ifin he stayed in Trenton, it would obviously be a spell. Old Pirate ain’t sure but thought he was @ Jasper fer 3 years? If so, he would need only 2 to git Tn retirement. He coached only 2 years 04-05 football seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit due - you and RD made me laugh! While I don't agree with your philosophy in early years of coaching ~ I think you can benefit a lot, learning under various head coaches. Now as the HBC, I agree tenure is key to building a great program. But with that said - Rankin has been HBC at 4 different schools. Never saw his leaving Riverdale coming, but moving to A-town has been good. If that is slowing down, I sure would like to slow down that way.

Southtowner Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I believe @OLD PIRATE brought up Dale Pruitt's name for you Jasper people a few years ago. It was either after McKrylon skipped out or the Rickey shuffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
