Chunky6617 Posted March 7, 2024 Share Posted March 7, 2024 They said they wanted it done quickly, but it’s went longer than I think they wanted. I think one hold up is the principal and the superintendent want different candidates. I think the super wants Jimbo, while the principal wants someone else.

Would take a significant pay cut to come back and coach in public school again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull-A-Roy Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 The longer they wait to make a decision makes me believe there is possibly another candidate out there that may be getting the job. May not be the tville assistant or Nowell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky6617 Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 I think it’s down to Fortenberry at Sumrall, Jimbo, and Hood and I believe it’s in that order as far as probability of hire is concerned. The super wants Jimbo, but the principal does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know Jimbo is a good coach and great weight room guy, but we all saw what could happen with him. Fortenberry has head coaching experience at Richton, but it didn't go very well year one 8-4, year two 6-6 , and year three 2-9. Hood is very familiar with Tville and the players, but he has never been a head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManCoverage Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 I wouldn't judge fortenberry off of his richton job many years ago. Not just overloaded with talent there and im sure he has grown as a coach since then. Know nothing about the Hood guy, he may be a great hire. Wouldnt touch the other with a 10 ft pole. Every job I have heard of him having has ended badly somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may feel that way about Tville but Mize is one of the top schools in the entire state. A lot of good people work there and send their kids to school there. As for the quality of names they applied for the Tville job, there wasn’t a large pool of candidates to choose from. The biggest name that applied was Jimbo.

It sounds like maybe the superintendent contacted him without Jimbo applying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest name that applied was Jimbo. Because Mize runs the school. Hillman ran off all the Taylorsville people at Taylorsville except his former players that coach girls. Our boys Basketball team should be good but he keep hiring these sorry coaches. Last one wasn't even really a coach. It be all about favors and he friends at Taylorsville. He don't do that at Mize. All them Tartars at Mize Stringer Seminary & Bay Spring teaching now. Edited March 8, 2024 by Bender20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar nation 98 Posted March 9, 2024 Share Posted March 9, 2024 This guy is a Tartar through and through. Still lives in the community and kids go to school there. Yet he teach and coach in Bay Springs. From what I’ve been told he did in fact apply for the job. According to some people close to him he may be going up North to take over a program there.

Jimbo is only big because of his anger, etc. He will be at Taylorsville long enough to win a few games before they kick him in the rear or some school grabs him like a fool.
