I imagine we will see some schools jump over to MAIS because of this.

I saw a post circulating on Facebook that Todd McDaniel at Ridgeland is retiring. Does that mean he is retiring at the end of this year, meaning they need a Head Football Coach? It did not specify if it was happening now or next year.

Agreed. Almighty dollar is what matters most to them.

He is a stand up guy from all accounts.

Pascagoula graduated a ton of talent. The cupboard will not be bare, but it is hard to see them replicating their run in region last year. I expect them to firmly be a playoff team but I do not think I see them as a threat past the first round at the current moment. New coach or not, it’s hard to replace all that they lost. I think PRC could be the surprise in the region. If they can get better on defense I like their chances. Gautier was real young and brings back basically everything from a team that was a few plays away from being the 3 seed so they could be a team to watch. Hancock lost some talent, especially at quarterback. It will be interesting to see how they look in spring.

Picayune will be tough as always but they lost a pretty good bit up front on both sides of the ball to graduation and I heard another has moved on to PRC. Just basing off what I know today, I would put them at 3. Right there with a chance to win the south.

7A North: Tupelo and Madison Central 7A South: Oak Grove and Brandon 6A North: Warren Central and South Panola 6A South: Hattiesburg and West Jones 5A North: West Point and Holmes County Central 5A South: Brookhaven and Laurel 4A North: Louisville and Kosciusko 4A South: Poplarville and Columbia

This is more entertaining than Days of Our Lives. LOL

If this is true, Lampley does not stand a chance. Athletic blocks are key for successful sport programs

Good for Lampley. I hated how things went down for him here at Ocean Springs, but glad he has gotten an opportunity to grow. Like Slick mentioned, he will have some time to grow this program and 5A south is fairly weak so there could be some quick success. It will all come down to how good of a staff he can bring in.

He stated he was "invisible" at practices which to most would insinuate that he did not do anything. My son reported the same as he just finished his playing career with OS so this obviously is a theme. So if he is a coach who is not actively involved in practice, game planning, etc., how valuable of a coach would you say a person is? Bramlett demoted him from OC title to keep King on board. That obviously signals something is there in regards to Lampley's importance to the OS operation, or lack thereof. Which for a new HFC like Zach Green who is trying to build a staff up, could potentially be an issue especially as he is more of a defensive minded coach. His offensive coaching staff hires will have to hit and from all regards, Lampley may be a "miss" at the moment.

Based upon your post above this, that would appear to not be a great move for Green and his new staff.

Mitch Evans. You are all welcome.

From what I was told, he was Goula bound until Coach Bramlett made him the OC and play caller for us at OS. There are some other moves coming, but like you said, they have been known.

Lampley is good guy, but he was never the play caller and from what I was told, never involved a lot with day to day operations. King was apparently set to make a move to advance his career and the staff change was used to prevent that and keep him on the staff at OS. It will be interesting to see how it plays out overall going forward.
