  1. I would be glad to see Coach Brady return to the coast he is a great role model for young men.

  2. From all accounts it was supposed to have good attendance being planned for so I guess it went well I haven't really heard anything. As some here know I have been limited in moving about as I once had . This was pretty much most of last year . So much so i had only been to Waynesboro two times max during that time period, Those trips consisted of me taking care of the business of keeping property up to date and not putting boots on the ground so to speak. . Outside of coming across the so called Supt briefly ( I still consider him to be a self serving bum ), I didn't have any contact with anyone stirring the sauce so to speak. These next thoughts are not easy for a someone with as much pride as I have been cursed or blessed with, take your pick, to make known. Nevertheless when a power greater than yourself reveals something to you , only a fool would not see the direction this was steering them down. Being wrong is something everyone is faced with frequently. To truly move forward you have to be willing to admit it at least internally . Very recently I spent an extended time up there and without going into specifics I was hit in the face by this very thing. It's true that Wayne County has not had success on the field . While wins would have been nice those need to be as a result of the progress . Coach Jack Hankins has been out front taking the arrows for theses kids . Arrows shot by people like myself. Man was I ever wrong . I called good , bad, and from ancient times we have been told to refrain from this. I will be judged for it one day. The man laid his guts out for me to see. There is no doubt that his selflessness is evident in the kind of young man he is putting out. I seen it first hand. He is the only anchor a lot of these kids have. He puts that first. Above on how he is viewed by the vast majority. Wayne County and Waynesboro are both crime infested traps for the young men there right now. He's the only way out for many that have the deck stacked against them from day one. Without going too long I do apologize to Coach Hankins. I hope he doesn't leave anytime soon. It may shock some but if he doesn't win another game I don't care. My point of view has changed rapidly .He's doing the dirty work that most men or coaches wouldn't touch and bailed out a long time ago. Really an almost thankless job. Wanting to hoist titles is a bridge too far right now as I see it. A lot of dirty hands in my hometown as to the overall state of things but the man that has the HC position isn't one of them. As was said to me there may not be an answer but all you can do is try to keep dipping water out of the boat as it spills in or it will rapidly sink to the bottom. It may wind up there anyway.

  10. I think Coach Freeman has it figured out and could care less about the espn race bait issue. If he thought like many other coaches he wouldn't have the number of white players starting or much less even on the team. He is so much better than Brian Kelly.

  11. Just because a kid missed a game for another sport doesn’t mean he does care. The kid went to Boston to play baseball against some of the best players. Just in case you didn’t know you get into teaching and coaching high school because you want to help kids succeed in life.

  12. I honestly believe that the vast majority of high school coaches deeply care about their players. They spend two or three times longer with players than with their own kids everyday. Some are better than others when it comes to caring for the community but most are great guys that would give their players everything possible for them to be successful in life.

  15. I have never been a big fan of these type of hires. By the time these guys come here, the fire is either gone or on the verge. Very rarely do you see them translate that into the type of success they came from.

  17. Vott still using bad words and all. guess we supposed to be impressed. I was told it was a promote from within and 1 coordinator has split but evidently the powers that be don't want the other coordinator to be in charge. I have seen way too many of these deals end up worse shape. this one here, like starkville have it written all over them.

  24. because I am an outsider and see this to be very much like ones I have witnessed before. Why do you go to acting childish and calling names? Most of us only post things which we know to be true whether they have been made public by a school admin or otherwise and that irritates the mods here and others for some reason. Maybe I had the wrong impression.

  36. Well we’ve played Rummel and John Curtis in the past from South LA. I think a lot of times coaches are good friends with other coaches from different areas and they end up scheduling each other. Same case with us putting Germantown on the schedule with our former OC being there now.

  40. Seems like everyone is interviewing this week. Which may not be great timing with the AD conference currently being held on the Coast. I’m hearing several schools are bringing in 10-12 coaches. The committees consist of 8-10 people. Too many administrators are afraid to make the call. This is not good for the coach that gets the job either IMO. Of the committee members most will not be the ones having the coaches back when the going gets tough. The administration needs to make the hire and support the coach.

  44. Well just a tough loss. Had our opportunities down the stretch and just did not convert. Hubbard is in a bit of a slump. He had some good looks. The FT that Melendez missed at 3:50 mark hurt as well. And some times you just have to give the other team credit.

  45. I also thought this has to make you wonder about Brian Kelly. Maybe the excuses he gave for not winning bigger weren't valid. Maybe it's, at least in part, him and it's continuing at LSU.
