Could be nothing more than a little smoke but my source seems to think its possible. Hear ye, hear ye! Bobby Hall, one source told me could be interested. Trying to get closer to his son.

Do you realize the seismic shift that would create? That would be pure insanity, but in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after hearing from a few people I’m hearing it may have some traction. I heard he has been contacted and seem to have some interest. And after talking to some mutual friends they have said that he is bored and tired of playing golf and ready to coach again. Guess we will see maybe soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonUnit1988 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 On 2/24/2023 at 7:20 PM, maroontide06 said: Well I think the spread will buy them some time because if they try to run the Wing-T, they’ll be ripe for the taking. It’s probably going to be difficult for them with whatever they try to run, but with the spread they can elude the defense a little bit better if their offensive line can hold up for a few seconds. See, I disagree. A spread offense can be great but I think your athletes dictate that. Look at Long Beach. Now, there are exceptions. If the OL is really good and the QB is good then a spread system can work pretty well. Wing T can have a smaller OL that creates angles and misdirection and with lesser athletes can be effective. Now, if it's all true about a certain wing t guy in PR county already then we assume we know who that is and I think currently he runs a Gun T system (I could be wrong on this) which I think would work well with PRC and their QB.

You're probably right there. My line of thinking was whatever they can do to elude a defense and keep some space between the football and the defenders. Kind of like what the Young Thundering Herd had to run when they had to start freshmen. Maybe something like the veer or something along those lines.

I just don't see the spread catching on effectively at a PRC because year in and year out the athletes they have are not great. EC is a great example of this. They can't run the spread but they can be Picayune Lite and be effective and very competitive. It's also hard to say wing t doesn't work at PRC when some of their most successful years were running the wing t under Collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as of right now they need to go in a different direction so that they can build up to run that offense. They've got to get out of the rut they are in and the only way they can do that is to do something different. It's going to be difficult whatever the new coach decides to run, but whatever gets implemented needs to also get implemented at the pee-wee level so that it can have sustained success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the days of Chris "Hurt" McGuirt, John Allen Goff, Josh Carter and the list could keep going and those guys didn't play yesterday either. As far as PRC goes, they deserve to win and yes I will support them 200% outside of playing Picayune. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroontide06 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 So is it Brian Ford or bust for PRC? I certainly hope it's the former and not the latter. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get PRC back to David Oakes and Curtis Thaxton (pre 1996) levels of winning, that will be a refreshing and winning change in Carriere.

It’s unfortunate it was like that, but these hires are about timing and fit. Brian Ford will be coming in at the right time and I feel like he’s the right fit. It’s going to take a coach like him with the experience that he has to start the rebuilding. I also think he can have success in year 1 at PRC as well. The success obviously won’t be juggernaut like, but there will be a better product on the football field. If PRC can muster up 3 non district wins and two district wins, I think the folks in Carriere will be jumping for joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non district games are South Pike, South Jones, Pass Christian, Bay High, Poplarville and Picayune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an underdog isn’t a bad thing. A good coach will use that and turn it into a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
