What gives you the impression that NOT ONE person cares in the city?

I'll have to see a job like Biloxi open and the coach not move before I believe that coaches don't see Pass as a stepping stone job. It will be great to see someone settle into that position and develop that program. There is more talent there now than there has been in a number of years.

Grown men should not be allowed to court 14-17 year old kids for their own benefit... whether they are attention seeking or not. Kids are easily manipulated and allowing this is creepy and immoral. (Accepted or not) Teenage boys are just as impressionable as teenage girls and need to protected in the same manner. These are kids not commodities.

It is a fabulous program... I just don't think he fits it. Hopefully I'm wrong for the kids' and community's sake.

If he thinks that he is gonna bring OS players over to replace talented / troubled GPT players with no drama or hitch, then he is delusional. As stated before, He is not going to OS or Pass and his personality is not the best. He better get over there and assess what he has before he starts recruiting for positions. You are not going to Gulfport and turning them into OS (culture-wise). He also has a habit of criticizing the previous 'regime' to promote his own. Archie is still in the building.... And let's just say that Pennock hasn't made many friends.

Bramlett would be my first hire. Bramlett deserves more credit for Pennock's success than he gets. Pennock is great for the camera, but Bramlett keeps things together.

Bramlett is the heart and soul of every thing that Pennock does. He is critical to the buy-in, install, strength & conditioning and development. The kids will love Bramlett, but I see Pennock missing OS by the time summer rolls around. I think Pennock is gonna find out that all money ain't good money. I believe that the players at Gulfport are gonna have a hard time buying in to Pennock's style of coaching and dismissive demeanor. It also doesn't help that the Kings of the Coast posts were major locker room material. Maybe the kids will adjust, but as you mentioned... Gulfport is a different environment from the Pass & OS.
