Rufus69 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I heard a rumor that he may be going to Pierce County since his wife is from Blackshear. But that's rumor. Only a rumor. No basis of fact. Totally made up. Rufus>> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I heard that Colquitt has so much talent in the pipeline that they don't even need a friggen head coach! Cheerleaders either! Fans either! All they need is a strength and conditioning guy, a nutritionist and three guys in black sombreros singing "My Little Buttercup" on the sideline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think I'm over it already. It doesn't matter at this point who we hire anymore. They killed it. The excitement is gone.

Most likely will be job less after 3 years barring some miracle. He has had some decent teams at Jones County but has failed to win anything meaningful as a Head Coach. We could have potentially hired Tommy Knotts but the 3 Amigos screwed the pooch with that due to their holier than thou approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Sean Calhoun from the get-go...but Carrollton sweetened the pot and he stayed up there. I thought the Knotts hire was a long shot....but I was definitely open to it if we could have landed him. I'm not sure EXACTLY what happened...cause it depends on who you talk to. But back to the subject...Rogers did for Jones County what Rush did for Colquitt. He made them relative again. And Jones County ain't no Mecca of high school football. He turned their program around with limited funds and a small pool of players. He understands our demographics and I truly love his offense. Now...the next check off the list will be assistants. We hafta have the right staff. That will be one of Justin's top dilemmas to solve. Assuming we can get the right guys in place....we COULD make the playoffs this year....(Smile). Something I had pretty much written off. Next...we need to worry about the nutritional program. That's a biggie. Somebody has to take on the role that Stefnie provided. That lady worked. Hopefully we can distribute some of the responsibility and carry that program forward. We have a lot to do in a very short time. I hope you have your working gloves ready....

How old is JR? Did he play ball in college or pro? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'm not super excited about the Rogers hire, but, it's not the worst we could have done either. He did turn Jones around straight away and that was moving them from Wing T to a 20th century offense that same year. I guess this is still assuming that is the hire. I'm open minded. We have more talent and depth than Jones and we certainly have facilities. I guess it's hard to be excited seeing what we just endured. Open minded is the best I got right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus>> Just do what we do for my daughters club volleyball team. We setup a google doc and everybody signs up for who brings what to each tourney. Waters, snacks, sliced oranges on and on and on. It seems to work pretty good. Just always make sure you have a back up for the plates and cups. Those seem to always fall thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just always make sure you have a back up for the plates and cups. Those seem to always fall thru. To feed 140 people? Pot luck doesn't get 140 fed. One particular civic group that fed the team 2 afternoons per week raised roughly 10k starting right now and that money was gone by the second or third rd. playoffs. Only fed them during the season too. That's two afternoons per week. There was 6 afternoons and 6 mornings to feed them. We usually took up cups and paper products at the fall scrimmage in lieu of admission charge. That got the program through for a while each season but we usually were buying that stuff before playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They eat a regular lunch with everyone else unless some were specified something particular. I think several churches were organized to come in the mornings. Give prayer and breakfast. Then a couple of other groups would do afternoons. Splitting the 6 days up 2 by 2 by 2. Saturday the boys went to the black and blue clinic and had the day off. No feeding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got them in the playoffs (I think the farthest he got was the quarterfinals), but he just happened to run into better teams at the time. He ain't no Rush, but he'll be aight.

Well, the thing where I'm certain we're gonna lose out is the intermediate talent guys making it to colleges or at least having the opportunities like we have seen in the past. How that dictates into continued interest and hard work by the kids is what will hurt us or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
