ATLien12x Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Wow. I read that this morning as well... taking his $174,000 salary and rich tradition as a winner with him. Buford program, losers of back to back championships for the first time since 2000, will now be left in shambles to pick up the pieces. ^ ( that was a joke. They have top notch facilities and are a city school with open enrollment. Buford will be fine. They need an offensive minded football coach that is going to win games. The talent will always be there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien12x Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Jess Simpson was 164-12 with 7 state championships dating back to 2005 (Also won 3 more titles previously from 01-04 as the Buford defensive coordinator) His son graduted this year (on the Buford team) I bet this has been coming for a while. Probably wanted to do something different now that this youngest child is going to college in the fall. In the GPB pregame you could tell Jess looked drained and a bit ready to leave the nest. Another note: This Buford team , being forced by GHSA to move up in class for being a city school with open enrollment, is now 0-2 in their last two championship games (15 and 16) against Cartersville and Rome, respectively. I think an offensive uphaul was needed but could've been done. Not saying that he's scared now with his first adversity but I think all these factors plus a collegiate position with a raise led to the move. Happy for Jess Simpson, though. Made a lot of money and done a whole lot of right for Gwinnett County football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess heard that Rush had applied and he saw the writing on the wall. The guy that just finished winning back to back championships last season, or the guy that just finished losing back to back championships this season? Georgia State here I come! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus69 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Did you say $174,000? Just keep in mind...the turkey hunting...the deer hunting...the new Ford 150 King Ranch...and the Wal Mart gift card. Rufus>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien12x Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 What do y'all think about Sean Calhoun interviewing for the job? Not official by any means. I just think he would be a great fit for a program needing a new offensive minded head guy spreading his wings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has definitey impressed off on his own and runs a pretty fun offense that kids will enjoy. Don't know anything about him personally, but I see a big rise for him soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus69 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Let's be clear. Lime Sink does NOT want Coach Calhoun to go to Camden. We actually don't want him to go to Buford. We want to make him Coach-in-Waiting for Colquitt. Rufus>> 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now could I see CRP thinking about Buford job at 175k? Sure. But Propst actually cares about national titles, not state titles. If he thinks he can get a national title at Buford and make more money, I could see him jumping at the opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
