Todd Mangum in the hunt. 

He sure is he’s who I was talking about in first post of the thread.

[slicklizard]

I am saddened, shocked and nauseated by today really. It has . also enlightened me in that I can now see why some schools that have the athletes to win don’t ever do and that MHSAA is a good ole boy network. One big hamster wheel of turds

 

I got the message. Im not afraid of any attorney especially one broke enough to have to live there. There is no reason to be worried anyhow. If the truth did somehow come out Wayne County doesn’t care anymore.

So who is getting the job?

From the outside looking in.... either Reynolds or Carter unless an old WC coach come through but this whole process is a clown show for sure. 

[Chunky6617]

I thought Carter was out of the mix until the local guys here started casting doubt

Everything’s a secret. It’s supposed to be a secret committee that selects the best candidates. Only it’s not a secret to me anymore. There’s Bubba Hathorne and a couple of people that work for him at the school. That’s your commitee.
Bubba Hathorne will be the coach just like the last eight years. Big money coming from funding  earmarked for athletics needs to be controlled by a yes man and thats who will get the job. It will probably be mamas boy if i had to guess. The fix was in before Hankins even resigned. .
They have thrown all the other applications in the trash just like last time. Forget about Wayne County as a football power. It’s over. All designed to keep outsiders away.

That came from Cartter who undoubtedly was lied to by Hathorne . A dead interview to give the impression of fairness .

[JRoss1958]

I know of three coaches that were called and told they interview next week. Not going to say names like previously posted by someone to protect them if their current schools do not know. Not really sure how many are getting a meeting but do know three for sure next week and they aren’t Carter or Corey Reynolds even though I’m sure they are interviewing as well.

I am sure they will talk ro them . If you know them tell them to go through it looking through the lens i have laid out for years on here. Maybe they will learn a thing or two.

I know of two head coaches that would have been successful right out of the gate with a fair chance. When they talked to Hathorne he made some arrogant remark and both declined any further talks after it. One interviewed last time and saw it was a sham again. He’s intimidated by established coaches who have been successful. If someone doesn’t go in and forcibly remove this buffoon I have no hope. No matter who interviews.

Again he’s retired. Why is he involved and the secrecy ?

It's a sucky situation that you're stating about retirement. The problem lies in the fact that he is still the acting admin. Until he leaves his post and someone is hired in his place, then he is the one responsible for the hire. Now, he could hand it off to someone else. I've seen that done before. Likely won't happen in this case.

I have not heard of anyone from Alabama that has applied. Monday I was told that there was 30 applications now I’m sure you have several that have never been a HC. However you have some top notch HCs that have applied. Let’s just hope they make a good decision. There’s a lot of truth to what Slick is saying. It seems like someone doesn’t want to give up the power he has to be in the limelight. He needs to move on and let someone else make this decision. I hope the board does their homework and if it is not a solid recommendation I hope they reject it. There’s no need to rush into a bad hire

There is no way this redneck is stepping to the side and letting someone else handle the acreening process. 
Afyer that sermon he gave patting himself on the back when he handed his official withdrawal papers in his face turned tomato red when that young kid on the board said “anyway when  can we put the open notice for the coaching opening up ? “ There was smoke coming out of his ears. It’s the first person i seen put him in his place ever. It was beautiful 

In typical fashion he ran to his office and

put  his telephone and email in it . Be a shame if someone used that to harass him

Who made the Bobby Hall and Marcus Boyles hires? Were those considered home run hires when they were made?

Absolutely they were that’s been 25 years ago so I can’t remember who did it. I can tell you Marcus was on Bobby Hall’s staff and when Bobby left he took over. 

[JCsunshine89]

After looking it up i didn’t realize Hall was just there 1 year. Hopefully they can find lighting in a bottle again or atleast maybe use the same resources they used in the past to make this hire.  Going back to your roots may not be a bad idea.

If Bubba is involved we will not go back to our roots. Bubba and Marcus were both up for the job when Bobby Hall left. When Marcus was hired there were hard feelings. Those feelings must still be in place because he’s never hired anyone associated with Marcus other than Mangum and we won a title.

Bobby Hall got Boyles away from Pearl as his assistant to relieve Marcus from the shooting that took place at Pearl.

[slicklizard]

Here's what people should know about Robert scumbag Hathorne.  This is long but this is straight  from someone who was there. Me. It should be printed and passed out to everyone on the BOE. It's the way it happened and why we are  where we are right now. I don't live there anymore but I love my friends and family that do . I love the fighting spirit that the sweater vest saw and brought to light a lifetime ago it seems like.

 

Wareaglefan and I went to the old high school together at Beat Four. It's foggy that far back but I remember Hathorne being around in some capacity maybe as a student older than us or as a young coach under Danny Adams or one of the others at that time. Hathorne was a half arse bully I remember that much. He liked to get loud with people smaller  than him. Where did he even come from ? I don't know any Hathornes even today in the area. Apparently he followed Adams to NEJ. I think.

We all graduate and scatter like leaves on the wind. The new school was built and they sucked at football. Late 90s I had got my legs under me career wise and was able to be around Wayne County a little and the athletics. Bobby Hall had some problems image wise I think and came to Wayne County to get out of the limeligjt IMO. I think it was Mr. Dewey Mckee that got him there to help him get back on his feet. Mr Dewey was a great, great man I really looked up to  IDK if he's even still around.

Anyway back to Bobby Hall . He inherited Hathorne from the previous pathetic coach. He wasn't involved in the coaching just cleaning the building, etc. Hall did more than get back on his feet he awakened a sleeping giant and he knew it. Wayne County was getting on the map football wise.

He parlayed that into a job at Madison I think but left behind a staff that dominated High School football in South MS for the next twenty years at least at different schools. Marcus was quickly made head coach but the other coaches still on staff were Mangum , Breland , Earnest, Collums and a few more I  probably forgot. 

There was an african american gentleman that was supt  at that time and was responsible for moving Marcus up. I cant remember his name either but he was the best at that position before or since. Another great man that history has forgotten.  It was a great time on Friday nights. It was widely known Bubba was going around saying he had been promised the job and it was his when Marcus was announced. Hathorne was irate . Marcus told him he was out and Mangum would fill his slot on the staff. There was some kind of stand off as he didn't want to give up his keys . Long story short Breland went and took the keys from him and followed him to his car and threw his boxed up belongings in it . Hathorne was out again. That's why he can't stand Boyles or Breland and has made the statement in the last few years that as long as he has say so nobody associated with that staff would work at Wayne County. I will give the snake this much he has stuck to it. I don't know his path after he got run off but I'm sure he run wherever he was in the ditch football wise. He should have been expunged form coaching but the public system protects destroyers like him.

Things got stale Coach Boyles got better pay at the new Petal school and left. Again it didn't even seem like a couple of days Coach Mangum was pulling up.  Al Smith I think stamped it as supt but there were still people there that had saw the buildup and had already cleared the transition. He got better every year and by 2014 could hang with anyone. About 2016 after a game I saw Hathorne picking up cups and packing equipment. I knew then things were on the decline. I told wareaglefan at that time  if he hung around things would erode quickly. Anything he ever touched related to football was cursed . He's cursed. Coach Mangum felt sorry for him and I think as a favor to Al Smith gave him a job because he had burnt every bridge and his reputation as a coach was ruined.. I got close enough to him after a game and told him  he didn't deserve to be at Wayne County or around the players and he should leave , Do something else besides high school football because he sucked at it . He didn't like it at all but was too much of coward bully to protest,  I remembered him from Beat Four and he remembered me There are no scraps for backstabbers in my scrapbook. I don't want to say what I think he deserves . Anyway. time rolled on

Then gangas khan got elected and a nuclear bomb was detonated in the school system. Bobby Jones was grabbing everything not nailed down with both hands. Five million missing from equity accounts stolen by "hackers" they said . School falling off a cliff test scores wise.This is where Bubba rose to have the pull he has now. Coach Mangum saw where things were headed and got out. Which he should have. I'm pretty sure Hathorne was running to Bobby backstabbing Todd about not following new policies and stuff. Things were falling apart. Bobby over uled Bubba trying to push Todd Lowery in to take Mangums place. 

If anyone reads this board very much I have chronicled the rest of his systematic destruction of the football program since, A laughing stock  now. People are waking up though because the only thing constant through this river of turds is him. He's solely responsible . He bragged in his farewell speech the other day about kicking kids off th football team like it was some big accolade. Big Chap is the only one that pushed back. The rest sat there like scared dogs. Where are those kids now ? They don't care. Football was all that some of those dudes had and they have been thrown in the trash.Shame on you losers. I'm done

[Rebel Bert]

Boyles was the coach at Pearl in 97 or 98 or around that time during the school shooting. Hall left north Ms to Wayne County and hired Marcus as assistant coach beginning in the next fall.Boyles was also asst principal. Pearl that played like 3 games in 10 days because it was October and region games had to be played. I think they played like a Thursday, Tuesday and a Friday to make it up. He took them to South state i believe. Stressful time. 

[Chunky6617]

Wayne county was a different place back then. I don’t think Marcus would ever come back. I don’t think he should either. Don’t ruin the memories.
