Frost is on the Pumpkin

Well, after what may be the last Thursday walk through/practice of 2025 for the good Dr, we are ready to pile our sawed off country kids up and head to them thar hills/mountains. We practice every morning at 6 am and if you don't, you need to. It has really helped me with my poor health to get through season 30.

Now on to the jobs. Already people are aggravating me and the others about jobs. Coaching jobs in GA are like buying nice things. If you have to ask, it ain't for you. There are going to be 100 or so jobs come open like every other year and you can figure things out on your own. Here is my take on the current openings with my convoluted rating system attached:

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- Well, it is a magnetic/IB school in Columbus and they ain't Carver. That's where the football players go. You have the ROYS. ONLY way IMHO that this can be fixed is to hire an alum that is in the Atlanta area if he wants it. Odds are, he don't. It is Columbus after all.

SUN Coach's rating- 2

Vidalia- it's in Toombs County. It is the city school. The players all go to Toombs right now. AD is a great dude, Facilities are D1, region is gonna be rough because they all have D1 talent and you don't.

SUN Coach's rating- 5

Camden County- Well, this is one of those that they call you and you generally have to have a ring as the HFC. They shouldn't expect you to be at a single professional development meeting EVER as if you don't win, you fide. Pretty simple. If you ain't a Big Dawg, stay under the porch.

SUN Coach's rating: 7

St. Pius X- well as my man Kevin W Stevenson call it, "Saint Pius The X" is open, I would think they probably want someone within the faith.

SUN Coach's rating: 5

Riverdale- When the admin point blank tells you they don't care about football and whether they win or lose..yeah

SUN Coach's rating: 1

Central Macon- well, a good friend of mine and a great person fought the good fight and now they will be in 5A. Admin is from MS and SHE is used to winning football games. Problem is you won't have the players for her to get what she wants. Good luck

SUN Coach's rating: 2

Ridgeland- I would imagine that this will stay on staff or one of those mountain coaches nearby will take it.

Rating: 7

Mountain View- Got athletes but not much support, good luck with that

Rating 4

Fannin Co- BOB and not even close

Rating 8

Riverwood- A magnetic school that has a revolving door and can't get assistants in. IB school and football is not important.

Rating 3

North Springs- Metro school that I don't know anything about other than past performance. I wouldn't imagine this is an easy job

Rating 4

Johns Creek- well, they want to do right, they have money, and they didn't score but 3 pernts all year. Good young guy job. Demographics don't lend themselves to football players and you ain't living anywhere near the school unless a booster puts you in their pool house or you married extremely well.

Rating 4

Wayne Co- The most dysfunctional school in the most dysfunctional part of the state. Check the history and ask questions. Kick tires, check the oil, and look at the rear view mirrors. I am 1-9 as a HFC (look it up) My one win.....vs these guys

Rating 3

Bainbridge- they won't do what needs to be done to compete with the locals. Been turned down more than the sheets at a Motel 6 in Jax during GA/FL week

Rating 3

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

Rating 2

Salem- Unrealistic expectations meet poor admin, check the history, not good

Rating 3

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)
