This is true but is his application one of the ones that made the cut? We may never know because someone wants to leave his mark. If I’m on this school board I’m rejecting every recommendation that he has a part in. He’s only looking to keep his buddies moving up the ladder. He’s not worried about the community getting involved as a matter of fact he doesn’t want that to happen.

You heard absolutely correct. I know this is a football board but if our BOE doesn’t hire this lady as Superintendent they are messing up. I not talking about sports but more importantly to out kids education wise. She is more than qualified, she will not be ran over, she will be fair and she is from Wayne County with two kids in school there and one that graduated from WC. I’ve known her for many years she was sent to turn a middle school in the county around and she did just that making it the highest scoring school in the county before they moved her to the county office. So yes Slick she’s the right person for the job and doesn’t hide things like prior administrations did

Interviews beginning this week already hear some of the names coming in. Good candidates on the table let’s hope they make a quality hire and WC football gets back to where it should be. I know people are tired of me saying this but the talent is here and a lot of young talent coming up. The right coach just has to get them to buy into the championship pedigree.

West Point more than likely hiring in house and don’t miss a beat

You are correct and Marcus also added the Junior High coaches. We had one of the best staffs in the state. Another thing is they pretty much stayed together

The first time I met Bubba he was living in what is now his wife’s uncle’s guesthouse which was a carport converted. He was actually our neighbor but the first coaching job I remember him from was Wayne Academy. When Bobby Hall was here Bubba was his DC and Bobby actually liked him. Bobby had him ac DC, Marcus as OC and John Perry as Offensive Line and strength coach.Coach Perry left after One season with Bobby for a JC job. You are right on how things went down with Marcus and Bubba. But Marcus put his staff together if Bubba would not have threw down he may have been DC instead Marcus goes out and gets Mangum brings him in he keeps Marvin Chapman as Defensive lineman coach, gets Milner as offensive line coach, has Todd Breland. Later adds Toby Collums as OC and Ryan Earnest as running back coach and brings in Kelly Murphy. Just posting this to show the kind of coaches Marcus brought in count the state titles five or six. Back to Bobby for a second Marcus and Bobby go way back. Marcus played running back for Bobby at Raleigh later he was an assistant with Bobby at Louisville. When Bubba left he took a head coaching job at Clarksdale or clarksdale whichever is by meridian lol. They were awful at the time Bubba actually won a few games before heading to North East Jones that was not good. Before getting back to WC

I was thinking Marcus was still at Taylorsville. But like you I could be wrong at my age the years get away fast

If Bubba is involved we will not go back to our roots. Bubba and Marcus were both up for the job when Bobby Hall left. When Marcus was hired there were hard feelings. Those feelings must still be in place because he’s never hired anyone associated with Marcus other than Mangum and we won a title.

Absolutely they were that’s been 25 years ago so I can’t remember who did it. I can tell you Marcus was on Bobby Hall’s staff and when Bobby left he took over.

I have not heard of anyone from Alabama that has applied. Monday I was told that there was 30 applications now I’m sure you have several that have never been a HC. However you have some top notch HCs that have applied. Let’s just hope they make a good decision. There’s a lot of truth to what Slick is saying. It seems like someone doesn’t want to give up the power he has to be in the limelight. He needs to move on and let someone else make this decision. I hope the board does their homework and if it is not a solid recommendation I hope they reject it. There’s no need to rush into a bad hire

He sure is he’s who I was talking about in first post of the thread.

I was told as early as next week but I think the number of applicants it may be longer

I would agree with that

There’s several HCs that will surprise people if they knew and I’m not giving names that’s not my place. I know of four current 6A coaches whose names are in the hat. To give out names and if they don’t get the job it may cause issues with their current employer. I know there’s a few smaller school coaches also. Yes they’re OC and DC’s all the way up to 7A. I don’t know of any out of state schools at this point

There’s a lot of applications coming in. Kind of surprised but at one time this was one of the more coveted jobs in the state.

Oh I don’t either but Slick said they stayed one year too long. I took that to mean if the job had been open last year he may have took it.

I believe he’s talking about former Greene County Coach. I’m not sure he ever had interest of coming or not so I can’t speak on that. I would have loved to have had him I believe he’s a very good coach.

It’s my understanding that they are going to make the hire as soon as possible. They want the new coach to get in get his staff and take the team through spring workouts

I am hearing a committee will make the recommendation but that’s hearsay. All I know for sure is Bubba is listed as contact

I agree but strange things happen here

I guess we will find out lol

Special called School Board meeting today at 4:00

The people at the top have gone away. The Principal is still there but has announced his retirement effective the end of the school year. With the exception of one it’s a new school board and the old Superintendent resigned in December. So all new school leadership

You heard correctly he was there to be announced the next head coach. Instead the Superintendent went into an executive meeting and said nobody was to be announced and adjourned the meeting. The next day they hired Shelton Gandy.

He always welcome on the sidelines at WC. The program he put on the map could sure use him to do it again. Realistically I never see it happening, I believe he finishes his career at Petal where his daughter teaches and grandson is in school watching him coach.
