He's put himself in a position to fill those positions now so why not ? I've said it before the best and brightest have to leave Wayne County because once they educate themselves there's nothing there that utilizes their training. If they have a position that comes open in administration it should be be filled by competent people from there. We just had eight years of castoffs ftom Jones County and look at what they have did to the district off ice.The dam thing is in shambles. They couldn't even turn in a coach's name to be voted on without making it a circus. It's time to tell the DOE not to send any more of their bounced around flameouts here. Every decision they make is how it relates to their retirement and it;s like pulling teeth to get rid of them

I hope they call Cooper and have him come get those skidder tires. Maybe bury them along with the skid T offense. WC needs to be a running team again, As in you having to run us down and us running you down. For the whole game not just sitting on 7 points then waiting until for the hamburgers to get ready at the concessions. Tracy is the first WC player to be the head coach. Shelton was a Panther and Kat was a temporary interm

I guess I never really put a welcome out to Pound . I was too busy dancing over the carcass of Bubba Hathorne whic h I have to admit it's mighty good. Nobody loves WC more than Tracey. There was most certainly those who had better resumes but as far as deserving the chance to be the next head coach it was Pound or Kat who has his eye set on bigger things than HC of football, proud for you Kat . With that said there is a lot of doubt surrounding Lampley but that has always been lurking around him. People telling him couldn't do something fuels him like nothing else. So don't be surprised when he knocks it out of the park. It's his show now and one could say what's going to be different than his last staff positions . Tracey has always been about leadership and being a team player, It will be interesting to see how he approaches being out front now. The one thing I can say about him on that field is when called upon he was always right there and he never, ever missed the mark . He wanted the ball in his hands when it was all on the line. There's no need in going through the results most everyone knows them. So here is where I stand on it. Tracy is my man at WC now. I'm going to roll with him and let the chips fall where they may. The ball is in his hands again now just in a different way. Welcome back Pound. It's been way too long.

He's through. He got a major beatdown behind the scenes at the end of last week. He threw a tantrum in the beginning but quickly changed attitude when he got told what was about to happen to him. I think we have heard the last of him. There are other fish to fry now

That level ? It took Mangum about three years to paint his so I would say at least that if he can even adapt to being a HC. Like some have said there are question marks with pound, 5A in the south is not a gauntlet so he has room to learn as he goes and still be competitive by the seasons end. Things aren't like they used to be where the pressure was on to get good by the fourth game of the season. He's going to have to grind his way through it in the beginning . WC has some great looking football players that are getting ready to come to the varsity level Winning culture- gone, nuked by Hathorne. Kids don't expect to win He's taking over a team built by a glorified wrestling coach. The whole system will have to be taken apart down to the studs and started over At least until May Hathorne will get in his way on every aspect of improvement. So he really won't be able to do much until fall. Hiring a competent set of assistants and not being saddled with any of the guys there now. I don't think people realize how much Bubba gutted the number and quality of assistants. He cut at least one every season. There are some in this administration and board that already resent him being here. By hook or crook they planned on putting Reynolds in even if it took until summer. He will have to keep his chin up and stay motivated until they can be rooted out. The backslapping and glad handing will wear off in about a month. He will be left looking up at this huge mountain he must climb , I wish I could be there and welcome him in the morning. Someone needs to.

First time Hathorn has had anyone stand up to him in eight long years

Hathorne picked that sickly logo to put on our field. Every move he makes for our football program sucks.

Bravo!!!! that's a great accomplishment by the young man. He could probably use some good news about now. They need to get with his mother on the schedule times for all the events though he starts getting homesick close to dark.

Bubba passed over Mitch for Todd Lowery and Jack Hankins, He didn't want Mitch this time any more than then. No matter what he lied to Mitch about. The asst supt selected him along with the sham committee. The BOE only voted on a salary. They couldn't approve anyone until a salary was agreed upon. They didn't have any agreement . Mitch pulled his name the next day. This is the third coaching hire for Hathorne and every one was some version of this one. Mitch would have been an awesome hire five years ago. He would have been good this time too. There is only one failure and blame falls on the asst supt, She could fix this in ten minutes Hathorne only answers too her She is the problem. Her nor Bubba doesn't need to be near the Supt job and filling the position needs to get done next. , Someone from the outside and no ties to anything local

Hathorne is running all over this poor lady now, There is a reason we don't have a coach yet and it's not about the BOE. Remember Hathorne answers only to the asst supt now

Marcus had been gone close to ten years when Bubba made principal . Marcus fired him and told him Mangum was coming to be the DC, He didn't want to give up his keys Todd Brelad took them away from him, made him get his stuff and threw it in his car then watched him go. . Hathorne ran straight to Ben Graves and Graves told him if Marcus says you are out then you are terminated. He was a sorry coach on the street again. He deserves worse with the predicament he has put us in.

I would be interested to know how Bubba was the one that tried to hire him. Did Bubba call Mitch and tell him this ?

There is only room for one buzz cut in Waynesboro

I am not going to pump sunshine and say it's a machine right now, The person responsible for it doesn't have the control he's had for the last , what seven, years. He did a lot of damage and ran the whole operation in the deep mud. We are out of the mud and headed back up the hill to dry ground and for the first time in a long time I feel hopeful. Some the assistant stuff is already taken care of I thnk.

I don't want to say . The people that made it happen deserve that honor. They had to resort to strong arming some people but it' s necessary when the other side is playing dirty behind the scenes. Now go home BUbba and take Al Smith with you. This was about old vs new not race. It should be out soon

No Boone, No Reynolds. Eat on that you BUBBA you fat piece of manipulating trash.

It didn't have to be this way. Dragging their feet caused all of this . They can bring whatever name they want to up for vote it's not getting through because there are two sides dug in now. Someone is going to have to break ranks for something to happen. This is the upcoming supt. selection bleeding over into this. It could be awhile.

Honk if you turned down Wayne County football job

I could see the Freeman’s down the road getting angry about the CPR, but to be offended by more school bus drivers Man that’s just un american. Some people just looking for an excuse in today’s world

what’s this about ?

Well that much we agree on . The money was approved for someone. They didn’t just pull the number 91000 out of the air . The man has to accept that number for him to be approved. They had to have confirmation of his acceptance to be approved by vote. I don’t get your meaning here are you saying they approved an amount for someone then went to the back and said i take that back let’s wait. They all voted on it. I can 150% say with confidence they haven’t had any conversation with Lampley like that. So who was 91000 voted on for ? I know what you are getting at . It’s about race and it is. If you know anything about those people on that board then you know they don’t give one iota about that last night. They go through that every couple of weeks. No they didn’t change their minds in secret. They are waiting on an answer. FTR as Ive stated before I would be fine if pound or kat were hired. They deserve it just as much as mitch. They got rhe scars

You're wrong and he's why. You need to listen to what this madam asst, supt , she doesn't need the permanent position but I will get to that later today, at the beginning of this process. It's on facebook . She sat down with WABO1 and answered what the process was going to be like. Right off she said the BOE HAS NO INFLUENCE OR AUTHORITY on the day to day operations of the school system. The process of selecting a HC candidate to be voted on fell under day to day operations. That she and "Coach" Hathorne would use his contacts inside the MHSAA to get a list of candidates , she said his influence that's him talking, and form a committee to select their candidate . The candidate would be submitted to the board for their vote by her at the next board meeting . Well that's what happened . The board was blindsided about the salary part because they were not let in on the process. Now they approved the amount. I'm sure that Mitch already knows that. He may tell them to f off now I'm not sure. I'm going to lay something out for you chunk. You are my boss. You call me in and say hey slick I want you to get together a group of guys that you feel have experience on this and ya'll figure out the best route to go and you make it happen .We need to buy fifty 40 HP tractors for this upcoming project we will be starting on soon. You come up with the best answer and get back to me in two weeks with the machinery. Two weeks roll around you call me in again and say lets's roll . They are chomping at the bit for us to start breaking ground. I say well their is supply issues but what we want was on a boat in Houston. I don't have them because I didn't know how much money could be spent. You look over at the Financial head and say did you know about this . He shakes his head no. Who's fault is it ? What happens to poor dumb slick in the real world ?

Everything they do above approving a mop bucket from dollar tree they run to that dam private room. I called it the stabbin cabin in another thread. There were about forty people with hire tracey lampley shirts on in the room. A couple spoke to the board. They approved 91000 for a coaches salary . They didnt say a name or anything beyond the approval . Ghost Cosell was right a few pages back . He said they had their man and salary was the holdup. This money is for Mitch Evans. Beyond that I don't know . What I do know is Bubba Hathorne is a cancer . His first hire was to replace Coach Mangum. Name turned into board= Daryl Carter. Board says nope. next board meeting Shetland Gandy is hired Replacing Shetland is next after covid interm Kat. Name turned into board= not sure but it was rejected . Next board meeting tied for losing coach in WC history Hankins is hired Now here we go again with this ineptitude, I worry he is screwing this one up too.
