Gulfcoastdevil75 Posted December 10, 2024 Share Posted December 10, 2024 Good football place with a ton of potential for the right guy. Some coaches possibly in this discussion.

coastfootballfanman Posted December 10, 2024 Share Posted December 10, 2024 King in my opinion makes the most sense. Fant is a bit perplexing to me as he has a losing record overall at Vancleave. Has had just 1 winning season and just 1 playoff win. I am not sure how that translates to a guy who should be up for this job. I know people say he does "more with less" but does he really? They made the playoffs the past 2 years due to being in arguably the worst region in the entire state for football. He has been about on par with what Lavon Capers was doing there and probably is not in Bloomfield's class (yet). I think he would have them be tough and competitive but I do not see the allure to wanting him. I do not trust retirees from Alabama. Majority of them do not stay long (especially after they see they will not have the freedom to recruit and do as they please like in Alabama) and track record of success (at least on the coast) has not been very good.

choctawman Posted December 10, 2024 Share Posted December 10, 2024 More than likely will move Kelly Causey up. He is the DC and has been a head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammerDown74 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Wouldn’t be surprised to see one of the retired AL guys at Biloxi get the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slicklizard Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 King would do great there or the South Jones coach who looks to be adept at a passing attack. I think Fant would do better than promoting from within but he would need a strong defensive guy to be paired with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very good coach was an assistant under Todd Breland at Laurel and SJ. When Todd retired Casey took over. I would be surprised to see him move on.

I think that we may hear some names after Christmas Break. I'd assume they'd want the next coach board approved in February. Seems to have been that way the past couple of times.

If that's the case it's a fairly solid list of applicants, but there's an obvious frontrunner though. Not that any of the others would be a bad option as well.

Fant is least of those listed IMO Lollar is a very good coach and by all accounts, a very likable guy. But if the reason I’ve heard why he was let go at Hancock is true, he carries with him an indefensible red flag which will likely keep him from getting hired anywhere around here. It’s one of the more bizarre coaching stories I’ve heard in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
