  1. No one wants any of the Laurel coaches. Not even of their own fans.

    I used to go to church with Kelly when he was an assistant at Laurel then northeast jones. Good dude. Not surprised to see him wanting to come back south.
  3. Laurel won’t make it to south state. They will be bad again.
  4. Not as bad as at Laurel. Which is exactly why they have fallen the last couple years. And it won’t get better any time soon. Their fans won’t admit it. But players that transferred there from other schools say the practices are easier. They aren’t made to run as much nor pushed as hard in the weight room. Go watch their games on YouTube and Facebook last year and the year before. Look how their physically massive lines were bullied around by everyone. Except the one guard who signed with LSU.
  5. Good ole boy network at its finest. Great way to ruin a program for a long time
  6. I think everyone outside of Oktibbeha county would agree with that.
  7. I doubt it. Why would he?
  8. Is Hattiesburg a better job than Starkville tho?
  9. I had a cousin at the old buckatunna elementary when it was in the white building near the river bridge when they consolidated. My mom and aunts went to high school at buckatunna.
  10. Like was mention in another thread when it was mentioned. He might not want anything to do with WC administration after what they did to him a few years back.
  11. Wasn’t a good choice before playing Grenada.
  12. Deontae knows. He hinted that he did after 2020 and 21 when their seasons ended as they did. He said it after 22 ended. And flat out was in the bus after 23. He got caught up in the spring practice praises of others and got distracted from the truth. And then as season went he bought in. Now it’s back to reality. Despite all the raw talent, and they are loaded with it, something just doesn’t click between it and the way Vance coaches.
  13. officiating. I think the game is on YouTube. Go watch it.
  14. Hattiesburg has peaked under Vance. Since the spring some said this was their best ever team. I still think the 2018 team was better. This one maybe slightly better on defense but that team was much better on offense and better overall. Mostly due to better qb. Everyone knew “hit duece, shut down the offense” for the last 4 years. This year west jones did not have the d line to do it, or they were held up, literally. Pascagoula sometimes forgot how to play. Picayune was stopped by the officials. But now the officials aren’t buying what Hattiesburg is selling and Grenada, who was thinking of coming back and winning this time since before the final buzzer in last years game (like I think they focused on this year about 1 minute after west jones 70 yard run sealed the title game last year) came in focused. They hit Vance all night. The proved what we all knew.
  15. If by “the breaks they had been getting” you mean the officials are not caving to the pressure, crying and name calling from the H’burg coaching staff like they typically do, then yes. They have a crap ton of raw talent. No denying that. Missing their best defensive guy and another really good one has absolutely destroyed the rhythm of the defensive front.
  16. Someone at the game may need to find vott and make sure he doesn’t dive off the upper deck.
  17. This is how they coach. Many are convinced the players are coached to act a way that in conjunction with the coaches crying is designed to help generate flags. If it doesn’t work or also if H’burg themselves are getting flagged for s fraction of the penalties they should be then the verbal abuse at officials gets really bad. There are some who try to refuse to officiate any Hattiesburg games.
  18. If not for the antics and Vance’s crying all the time I Hattiesburg does not beat west jones in 22 or 22. And while they may still win this year it would have been a lot closer.
  19. If he thought his team to be more disciplined he wouldn’t have to complain at the officials so much.
  20. Because they havnt won a title since 1924. And even then it was not a true state title. It was one of those big conferences that the champ of was considered the best team in the state.
