  Dope grove/jail grove with metal detectors lol 

Didn’t a kid get hurt behind this ? What the hell is going through your mind to type this out ? There is still a little time to redeem what little respect the board afforded you. Says a lot about you if you can’t look in the mirror and admit you shouldn’t have went there.

I would think HHS would need to consider hiring an oak grove coordinator. They are clearly the best program in the PineBelt year in and year out.

That doesn’t mean anything. The way the grade school systems is wacky. There are schools that are rated B that perform better than schools that are rated C. School boards know how to play the game to get schools a better rating than what they are. 

[pancho]

There is no doubt this is true and factual.

School Boards have no control over accountability ratings that come directly from MDE.

If you do not think Hattiesburg is great football job you are just hating them for whatever reason.

 

1.  It is an A rated district no matter what conspiracy theories you can come up with 

 

2.  It is in a major city in the state 

 

3.  It pays really well

 

4.  You have athletes 

 

5.  There is some job security. Vance was there during some good times and some bad 

 

I don't know why some of you guys have an agenda and I have no dog in the fight.

School boards know how to cook the books, legally, to make a district look better than it is. That came from a school board member that I know.

More people would probably rather apply for a job at sumrall than Hattiesburg.

Not many people outside of Hattiesburg thinks Hattiesburg is a very desirable job. There will be some coaches from smaller classes that will be interested in it because it’s a bigger job. But you won’t see many coaches at 5A-7A schools that interested in it. 

[Rebel Bert]

I have no dog in this fight. I just know when people move out of Hattiesburg and the suburbs explode in population like Jackson area then there is a culture problem within the city. Sometimes those issues swell over into the schools or not. Other than that Hattiesburg is probably a good school. The right coach can get the job done. My vote is for When Whone Sune.

You will be surprised. 

[pancho]

They want the pay raise without the south called culture problem that some say exist.

Probably depends on whether a potential HC can convince his wife and family to relocate to an area where so called problem exists.

Will the coach be allowed to live say in Oak Grove or Petal. Certainly none of us know where Vance lives within Hattiesburg or outside Hattiesburg.. Most likely in Hattiesburg for son to be able to play in Hattiesburg. I know in the past and teacher has been able to live in a school zone and teach in another with children attending the same school she teaches. I will not say that every neighborhood in Hattiesburg is a problem.

Who cares where a coach lives? There's no stipulation saying coaches have to live in the district where they teach or coach at. I know a coach who was at Richton but lived in Hattiesburg. Coaches at schools like sumrall or jeff davis co probably live in other cities like Columbia as well

[pancho]

Will they be able to attract a HC as good as Vance or will they go backwards in that department?

HHS will be fine no matter who gets the HC job

I understand everyone wants to take this opportunity to slander Hattiesburg , but this is silly.

Historically speaking, it’s the worst district in the area academically. Even now when it’s better than it’s been in decades, test scores are still really low comparatively. 

https://msrc.mdek12.org/entity?EntityID=1820-000&SchoolYear=2023

 

While it has improved since being a “D” rated district in 2016, the fact remains that newcomers to the area will do whatever it takes to not send kids there. Not throwing shade. Just being real. Realtors will tell you.

When moving to Hattiesburg area it's your responsibility to check all things out. Living in Hattiesburg with PCS and Sacred Heart are options.

You sound like a thorn. We pay alot of money to our staff. We can buy out your little head coach.  Dope grove/jail grove with metal detectors lol I mean Oakgrove is not the best school by far don't let the media fool u again. Petal hmmm they good at hiding stuff too. We seen a lot of transfers for a reason and they still coming now. We had 4 OG transfers last year to HHS and Ethan Long a basketball player from Petal dandy dozen now at HHS. To be honest if HHS kids going to Petal and OG its because they couldn't start/fallen out with the coaches or they parents moved out of district.

Name call if you want. That says more about you than me.

 

Football kids only transfer out of championship programs when they’re not getting to play. This is a football thread so talking basketball isn’t even relevant to the conversation.

 

If it was as simple as you claim to “buy out” a coach from a school you’re putting down (with ugly nicknames) then HHS would have done it by now. Money talks. So does reputation. Petal is such a respected job that they got a retired coach to come back this year. People want to be in that district.
 

As far as academics go, the Mississippi Dept of Education is not “the media.” The MDE website states facts about academics at all schools. So I don’t need to even get into that. It’s easy to look up yourself. Just over 50% of Hattiesburg Public seniors are college bound. Compare that to high 90s at Petal and OG. Petal and OG are (and have been) “A” rated schools for decades. Meanwhile HHS is rejoicing at finally being a “B.” That’s just facts. 
 

And with regard to kids going out of district, follow some schools buses sometime. It’s eye opening. Watch entire bus loads of kids empty out at the district line and get into cars that drive home over the bridge and past the line. See it for yourself.

Exactly.

Both great private schools with outstanding academic reputations. And out the other way is Columbia Academy. Lots of private options in that area.
