RebelYell

I bumped into Lumberton's Head Coach this past weekend. He was real positive about Lumberton this year. He did say that Taylorsville is the team to beat but feels like that Lumberton could possibly compete for the South.

Unless you talked to Russum or you are Bo Russum I will trust my guy why would he throw a guys name out there if it wasn't true.

Just got off the phone with the guy who told me this and he said that he can confirm that Bo Russum put in for the job. Now rather or not he is being considered as a top canidate is to be seen.

I heard a couple of people but not really names just where they were from the other day. Some guy on staff I can't remember his name, DC from Columbia, and they said a guy from Petal.

Is the guy on staff Coach Hood that people are saying has a shot at the job? Wasn't he at Perry Central Last year?

You are correct he does have multiple rings. I not sure Taylorsville would benifit from a coach that is retired. Coach profession needs new blood.

I heard they are getting close to hiring for this position. Top 3 Canidates are Teddy Dyses, Bo Russum and Gabe Hood. Not sure who the last two guys are but the first guy wouldn't be in my top 3 by any means.

I believe Nick Griffin has got a call back. Not sure about Jimbo or Teddy.

Where there is smoke then there is usually fire. Just saying!!!!

Yeah this was his 1st year to be there. I was not impressed with his program at all. If you ask people in the community they were not upset about wins and loses because the last 2 guys really didn't win. They were more concerned about the character issues.

What Kind of connections does Nick and Teddy have with administration at Magee?

Someone called me last night and said Nick Griffin, Teddy Dyse, John Ladner, and a guy up north mississippi have all put in for the job.

Who is in the running for this job? Not sure it is a great job since there is still a lot of talk of merging into Simpson County. This use to be a top notch job. Just surprised no names are coming out of Simpson County.

So your telling me That Nick Griffin is leaving Perry County where he has established himself as a Head Coach. I could see Jenkins but not Nick, Perry County is home to him. Honestly after the debacle year he had at Perry Central I couldn't see him getting a job like Magee.

Was wondering what yall's thoughts were on if any team underperformed this year. From the Pine Belt I believe Petal would be a team after beating Hattiesburg in game one people thought would be in the mix. Not sure what all happened but I know Petal people felt they were ready to make the playoffs. North Forrest is team that started out hot but cooled off real quick. After they demolished Lumberton people were really talking them up. I do know they have gotten better but eventually they have to get over that threshold. Purvis started out fairly well, they beat Forrest County and played Lawrence County well but didn't even make the playoffs with good QB and a RB that rushed for over 1600 yards. Perry Central only won 3 games this year after having 16 starters returning from a 4-6 team. Perry County surely had expectations of a lot better season then what they had.
