TigersFan Posted February 10, 2025 Author Share Posted February 10, 2025 https://www.starkvilledailynews.com/sports/carr-takes-the-keys-of-starkville-high-school-football-program/article_3e37d964-e7c8-11ef-a04b-f3748be14e4a.html I agree. He has coached some high school ball in Louisiana but that looks like it has been years ago. Definitely a very experienced coach. Guess Clinton and Boswell will be going back to the drawing board and trying to find another coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From all I have heard he is a great coach with much experience at the college level. Also, Clinton may be a great town to live in but Starkville has got to be a better job. Also, these big-time high school programs are turning into almost college-like programs. So if he sticks I think it will be a good hire!

scottcntyfb Posted February 11, 2025 Share Posted February 11, 2025 Great hire! Now does Clinton promote within or try to go after Morgan or Cooper at NWR? Cooper has ties to Clinton and has taken NWR to about as high as they'll go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAnswer Posted February 12, 2025 Share Posted February 12, 2025 Apparently Carr burned every bridge in Clinton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton pulled him from the college ranks. It looked like a good hire on paper and one year later he is packing it up and heading to a team in the same district.

Clever Clogs Posted February 12, 2025 Share Posted February 12, 2025 Clinton talent was not superior and he might know it’s not getting better. Starkville will have better athletes year in and out. Not to mention who wouldn’t want to work with an AD that’s for sure will be football gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulfport gave him the keys to the kingdom no questions asked. They made his wife a principal as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
