William Blount fans better hope the administration hadn’t already made up their mind before yesterday. The "mystery candidate", if that is even accurate, makes zero sense. He would be gone as soon as he's offered another college job, and the WB administration would be right back where it is now.

Thier eyes are focused on the carrot not the bucket of crap that it's sticking in. Like the last carrot, they got it's mess all over them.

strongx Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 That AD in LA ain’t no dummy. Don’t be shocked if they name both a Head Coach and an Asst Head Coach to address the possibility of someone just using the job as a stepping stone. #sleepinggiant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Admin being right back where they are now if he leaves isn’t an excuse for William Blount, a team that just went 1-9. I have. and that's my point. Hiring somebody that you know is using the job as a temporary stop gap isn't going to do anything other than keep that cycle going for sure. Hire somebody with at least the intentions of staying for a while is the better route. You hired a "name" with a ring the last time. Where has that gotten the program?

Maybe that's not the best way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude had one of the best offenses in JUCO at one of his head coaching stops. I doubt he would be here for very long either, but it’s worth a shot in my opinion. So playing devil's advocate, if he is busy doing all of those things, is his high school job going to be his priority, or will those things be his pirority? Obviously I never have been one myself, so I have to go by what the guys I have known for years who actually have been tell me: Being a high school head football coach is a full time job and then some. That's why it is going to be interesting to see how the Bearden experiment works out with a guy who has his hands in so many other things, too.
