Anyone have any inside info as to what led to coach’s decision? Money probably had a lot to do with it. UMS is a traditional power in 4a-5a in Alabama. They’ve won 9 state titles. They had a down year this season. Went 6-7 and made it to the 3rd round of the playoffs lol it’s only their second losing record in the last 30 years. And ironically enough the last time they had a losing record they went to the 3rd round of the playoffs that year as well lol. They have won double digit games 18 of the last 23 years. It’s a private school and there’s a boat load of money involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Clogs Posted March 18, 2025 Share Posted March 18, 2025 Any word on the North Panola job? They have been really quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Maniac Posted March 18, 2025 Share Posted March 18, 2025 Some of these schools should be posting soon considering how close spring ball is. I would not imagine Hazlehurst will take long to name someone. Brandon is probably close to naming someone. Puckett has been quiet as well. is there anyone in the north part of the state other than North Panola that has not named anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky6617 Posted March 18, 2025 Share Posted March 18, 2025 (edited) I think Puckett has their guy. He just hasn’t announced yet. I figure it will be announced sooner rather than later. And when it’s announced, that will mean another head job will be opened up somewhere nearby if I had to guess.

Chunky6617 Posted March 18, 2025 Share Posted March 18, 2025 The Puckett job was offered to a current head coach. I believe he will accept the offer, but I could be wrong. I know I would accept the offer if it were me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
