Chunky6617 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 From what’s floating around on social media, a new hire was made, but currently is being held in limbo because the coach who was hired is not being released from the school he is currently at. This coach has been a lifetime assistant coach, with close to 20 years experience in Mississippi high school football. This would be his first head coaching job, and would give him a very nice raise, but his current school, MAGEE HIGH SCHOOL, will not agree to release him from his contract.

Chunky6617 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Well trust me they are getting hammered on social media, by other coaches and administrators. Definitely not a good look for Magee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he an assistant at Raleigh before Magee and from Mt Olive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I was told that all teachers in Magee/Mendenhall has a job once Consolidations are completed. No one new will be hired until things shake out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s coached at Lumberton, Mendenhall, Mount Olive, Taylorsville, and Magee. As an assistant coach he has won 7 state championships. This would be his first head coaching job, and probably a $20,000 raise that would better his family. But Magee will not release him from his contract. He is a well respected coach in the state, very well liked, so many other coaches are blasting Magee and it’s administrators on social media right now for how they are handling this.

He lived in mount olive, went to school at Mize, and has coached at all the schools I mentioned. Very well liked coach across the state, really good teacher. Cares about his students and players. Been coaching close to 20 years. He has won 7 state championships as an assistant coach. This was his first opportunity to be a head coach, and the principal at Magee (Bill Broadhead) is single handedly blocking it from happening. The superintendent approved it, so I have been told, but the principle is blocking it. Edited July 17, 2022 by Chunky6617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadhead and that superintendent should be ashamed of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyingonu Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Yea ive heard some stories about ole bow tie billy and his dealings with coaches as they seek employment to better themselves. What a bush league move. Let the man go! I hope it works out for Coach so those trying to hold him back wind up with egg on their faces!

If he resigns and they don’t “let him out of his contract”, the state suspends his license so he CAN’T get a job teaching elsewhere. That needs to be changed.

Chunky6617 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 And what crazy is, Magee just flat out fired their baseball coach because he wanted to hire someone else. Didn’t terminate his teaching contract, just his baseball coaching position. All because he wanted somebody else. And now the guy won’t release this football coach.

Sounds like Broadhead wants to be principal of the Simpson County 49ers with his own athletic staff. 49ers was suggested by Mendenhall principal. And they have their teachers for the new school per source and no one else will be hired. Breakup on the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunky6617 Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 I think as of this morning everything has been resolved. So Stringer should have their new head coach today. Norman Johnston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
