Welcome back to Colquitt coach! I like Sean. He's a great offensive mind, albeit, not yet a proven winner as head coach. I think he was 53 and 12 or something like that at Carrolton over a period of 5 seasons. No chips. Just never got over the hump there. Well liked and respected around Norman Park though, so, this could be his time to shine. He came into Vestavia Hills behind a coach that had been there for 43 years and was something like 386 and 540 over that span running a power I offense. Tough to bring the spread in in one year like that, so I'm not gonna hate on his Vestavia Hills record. Moreso looking at the 13 games played per year average at Carrolton. Bring on the Calhoun era. If he gets the talent back on the team from our hallways and streets, it could be a *in my beat Bishop Sycamore coach voice* a muhfuckin stick up! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fighting a battle of doing it they way Buddy did. Buddy refused to even do 7 on 7 camps. Only Birmingham school to never play in the Hoover 7 on 7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you come in behind a proven winner, making a wholesale change isn't advisable imo. I think having read articles about Calhoun's Vestavia Hills plan, he was slowly going to install the spread, starting with a hybrid system last season. I think that's a much tougher gig than what Justin has here. Justin had a corvette to jump into but he lost the horsepower and downforce by not just firing the same engine back up. Calhoun probably realized it wasn't going to be biscuits n gravy at Vestavia Hills and had this opening as a quick out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than the Florida or Georgia coaches we've had since 2000. Honestly though he's not the Alabama coach I was hoping for. I thought we had a shot at Mark Freeman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a form speech written somewhere for all new coaches to use. If he uses it at the banquet I may spit up my shrimp since he turned us down in 2019. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like you, if he could have survived there 3 or 4 years and got the spread installed, it would have been intereating to see if he could draw the talent back in.

I watched some film on that Thompson team. They were loaded with talent. I don't know if they developed it or recruited it but they had some talent.

Rufus>> I'm very hopeful they push out a few people. I do think there is some that could stay and be good, but, they probably aren't the ones that we'll see kept on. The one's that will be kept will be the smug and comfy ones that are so good at playing politics in the athletic dept. They stir the pot behind the scenes but smile at everyone in the building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus69 Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Sean's offenses in 2014-2015 scored 687 and 700 points respectively.

Also I heard that Rowell who was our DC back then was let go at Georgia Southern and could be interested in coming back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
