Blackman being in the same county as Oakland is gonna scare some off from applying. I do think Blackman was on the right trail bringing in someone with a much different offensive scheme than Oakland. They do however need a guy who will toughen them up, or at least a DC that will. It's been awhile since they've had a defense I would consider above average to good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said “daddy I told the crew we gotta work harder” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vol9093 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Blackman will be fine. It'll be interesting to see what direction the new principal chooses to go. He'll have his choice of many really good coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfingPatriot786 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 This is interesting, because on some level I think it's better that they want to hire a coach that is different schematically then Creasy at Oakland, but I still think I would want someone this time whose more focused on the run game and playing great defense. Those seem to be what would help Blackman take the next steps. Just my opinion. Can't wait to see where this search goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely need a good DC. Blackman will still be able to put points up but got to stop teams that shouldn't have put up as many points as they did. Tygard did a great job building up the youth programs and a lot of talent going into the middle school and high school in coming years. The high school will be fine with the right hire, I am more interested to see the effect on the youth programs. Because Tygard was very involved with all of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcjacket13 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 This will be a big hire that will determine where Blackman goes in the future. Just a few calls I would make, Jamaal Stewart, Josh Crouch, Chuck Gentry, Eddie Woods. Not sure if they would be interested, but wouldn’t hurt to reach out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgsBDP Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Blackman is a honey hole for the right coach, who is willing to sit down and stay for a little while. They have one of the best youth leagues , and middle school funneling talent to the HS. 5 head coaches in ten years has pushed some of those kids to other HS’s. Some stability and it is a sleeping giant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real poison is in Blackman middle school... an unnamed coach is telling parents and players they need to go to Rockvale or Oakland... so says some of the parents I have heard talking about swapping to Oakland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
