coastfootballfanman Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I was told this one generated significant interest. Both in and out of state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Clogs Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The resources and money here is pretty good. It does not shock me that they received a lot of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Good, growing school. The tradition isn’t great, but they have gotten better this last decade. Should attract some experienced coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastfootballfanman Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Pay is going to be as good as anywhere on the coast. Facilities have improved tremendously. School is solid. Athletes are there. It has the potential. I think it needs a culture reset. Someone to come in and change the old guard. I think St. Martin has the chance to become really competitive with this hire, if it is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastfootballfanman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 This is why so many coast teams struggle. Terrible coaching hires because very few schools on the coast take being a successful football program serious. The names that I heard put in for this job and they promote an assistant on staff when the program has been below average at best over the last 10 years - and has been bad the past two seasons. Until the coast schools start investing into their football programs, they will never be competitive (mainly for 6A ball - Coast 5A/4A has more than held their own in most years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it is always people from the coast hired by these schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it is always people from the coast hired by these schools. It is that way typically and it is because they pass over qualified coaches from around the state and other areas. Very few times has a coach from outside what is called the "6 coastal counties" been hired for a head job the past 10-15 years on the coast. I was told by a source in central office with St. Martin that Brian Anderson from Neshoba Central applied for the job. You telling me a guy with Head Coaching experience at the JUCO level, as well as several successful years as a coordinator on the high school level wasn't more qualified to lead a program than Ty Smith? As someone mentioned before, I was told interviews and such for this job were just a formality. Schools hiring coaches like this or retreads are the exact reason coast football as a whole are looked at as a joke throughout the state. Makes me sick honestly. I am a proud coast football supporter and to see most schools botch hires year after year and further set back football programs just sucks.

Yes, I was just thinking out loud with coaches from North/Central MS that have come down to find success and Pennock just stuck out, given what he has done in his short tenure on the coast. Bobby Hall finished 12-22 over his 3 years at Biloxi. Nobody will ever know what goes on behind closed doors in any program, however Hall never stuck out to me as a good fit for Biloxi. Yet again in response to coast football teams not hiring "great" coaches like the north/central part of the state has a lot to do with what goes on at the top. Seems like most coast school leaders focus on the education part and forget how much of a benefit a positive and successful extra curricular program can be to their students.

The highlighted portion of this post is about as spot on as you can get my friend! Coast schools (most of them) in my opinion have as much money, funding, etc. as anywhere in the state, yet there is hardly any real commitment to athletics at most places. It is truly a shame places like Biloxi, Gulfport, Ocean Springs, St. Martin, Pascagoula, Harrison Central, etc. have not experienced more success than they probably should have.

Archer Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Kanode is lazy and simply manning a desk there, counting he days until retirement much like Greg Freeman was at Pascagoula. This is so typical and head-shaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
