About to get loose in turn #3!

It is officially on and poppin' my dudes. This job season is going to be all the way live. It already is and there is bound to be more to come! Big Dawg jobs open, some people moving on up like George and Weezy! The trickle down effect should allow for some entry-level HFC positions to come open.

We all know or knew some of these were coming, but there were some surprises. One thing that has become obvious is which places are functional and have a clue. Gainesville for instance (not generally a fan) knew who they wanted, got him. One day, not even a day really, to get who they wanted. That is a sign that the administration is at least competent. Some of these others, not so much. That should be a sign.

if you need to get your paperwork right. Also, tune in to SunCoaches Podcast wherever you get them. This week, me and Coach Ed discuss jobs and Thursday will be Maurice Dixon, HFC at Creekside High School.

Rome- they will call you, best job in GA, arguably...

SUN Coach's rating- 9

Grayson- they will call you, plug and play, you want a ring, get this one and within 3 you should have one, if you don't, it's you

SUN Coach's rating-8

Monroe- Albany school and Coach Herring did a great job establishing a foundation there to return the Golden Tornadoes to former glory. The Benny is a tough place.

SUN Coach's rating- 4

Lovejoy- Always have had athletes, different time now with Form Bs, tough 9-5 gig for sure.

SUN Coach's rating- 2

Alpharetta- dude made it one year before moving on to greener pastures. Well, this one is slap in the middle of all the mess. If you have players, you HAVE to try to keep them.

SUN Coach's rating- 4

Mitchell County- They have 3 too many schools in that county/area. Athletes yes, rest of what you would want, not so much...and then there are the storms and nadoes...it's an alley and they come there.

SUN Coach's rating- 3

Clinch- A blue-blood program that generally stays in the family. If you like living in the swamp, great place, if you don't, not so much

SUN Coach's rating- 8

Swainsboro- Remember this place fired Coach Roberts due to "low morale on the coaching staff" years ago, figured out their mistake, and got him back. He has done an excellent job here. You want small town football? This is it!

SUN Coach's rating- 7

Appling County- Can anyone just stay here and not get caught of in the dysfunction of the community politics? Probably not, not historically anyway. Great support, great community if you can deal with the nonsense.

SUN Coach's rating- 8

Gainesville- Santavious Bryant (Grayson)

Cook- One of the best of us moves on. He will be missed. Facilities are outstanding, talent cycles hard here and the community is dysfunctional. If you catch the cycle right, you can win big

SUN Coach's rating- 8

Northgate- Ceiling realized and you are the step child in a 3 school county. Lost a great one, but this is a great job really. Good place to live, work, and raise kids.

SUN Coach's rating-7

Wilkinson County- Home of Honey BooBoo and a basketball school. Tough gig, Coach Ward probably hit the ceiling, but it could be a good place. Kids are awesome there from my interactions with them in the past

SUN Coach's rating-5

Morrow- just not good

SUN Coach's rating-1

Washington County- this is a 2 dog race and either one will do fine

SUN Coach's rating-6

Greene County- They prove that backwards is in fact a "different direction" what a hot mess

SUN Coach's rating-3

The Walker School- they have the word "THE" in the name, like THE Lovett School, but that's about it

SUN Coach's rating-2

Heritage-Conyers: Quincy Carter (Coach on staff)

SEB- Interim in place

Chapel Hill- A Douglas County school and it ain't Douglas County. Traditionally hard to get assistants in and they don't really care about football, never have

SUN Coach's rating-2

Druid Hills- HFC takes the Salem job, this school is good at futbol, football, not so much

SUN Coach's rating-2

Brunswick- Byron Slack (Cook)

Villa Rica- Michael Hilbert (DC on staff)

Hart County- filled

Heritage Conyers- Quincy Carter (UGA Star)

Gordon Central- Billy Blizzard (DC on STAFF)

Temple- Principal is an old ball coach and you couldn't ask for a better one to work for. Facilities are good, money is great, and it was left better than he found it.

SUN Coach's rating-7

Wheeler- This one is predicted to stay in house. I have no basis for offering an opinion here so I will not. SUN Coach's can't rate things we don't know about, however...if I had to, I would say:

SUN Coach's rating-5

Irwin County- Beau Johnson (OL Coffee)

Allatoona- well, this is a SYS situation.

SUN Coach's rating- 7

Westlake- Kevin Whitley (Northgate)

Bradwell Institute- major Admin issues, they go through coaches like underwear. It's bad.

SUN Coach's rating-2

Discovery- Andre Clark (OC on Staff)

Mundy's Mill- Antonio Andrews (Asst. from Lovejoy)

Union Grove- IDK, seems to be looking for a HFC every 3 to 2 years or so. Must be a reason...

SUN Coach's rating-4

Winder-Barrow- Russell Demasi (OC Savannah Christian)

McDonough- Henry County, there you go, lot of traffic, lot of schools, and the building admins don't tend to be pro sports. Until that changes, it don't really matter how good the county AD is.

SUN Coach's rating-2

    Lanier County-Marcus Gowan (HFC Gordon Central)

    South Paulding- Coach Allen did a great job here and is leaving on his own terms. Paulding County is a tough place to coach. Not because of kids, not because of support from community, not from a facilities stand point. There are other things and you can figure them out.

SUN Coach's rating- 5

     Hardaway- Filled

     Vidalia- Zack Grage (AD Brooks County)

 Camden County- Tucker Pruitt (Appling County)

St. Pius X- Adam Pullen (DC Pope)

Riverdale- Marcus McKinney (Asst. on staff) 

Central Macon- Jamoski Ward (Wilkinson Co)

Ridgeland- Shane Cauthorn (Coach at Saddle Ridge MS)

Mountain View- Todd Welborn (DC on STAFF)

Fannin Co- Great place, great people, good mountain talent.

Rating 8

Riverwood- Josh Coffey (OC at Denmark)

North Springs- Walter Vaughn (In house)

Johns Creek- Jason Tester (DC Eastside)

Wayne Co- Scott Roberts (Swainsboro)

Bainbridge- back open!

Windsor Forest- It's Savannah, and it ain't one of the privatory schools in Savannah

Rating 2

Salem- Fred Green (Former HC at Druid Hills)

Westside Macon- You will follow one of the all time great dude/coaches to ever do it. If you have a ring, you will get paid, Bibb does pay, but, BUT it is Macon and you ain't NE

Rating 5

Banks Co: Mark Hollars (OC on staff)

Appalachee: Chuck Kenyon (DC on staff)
