I agree 100%, with both. The Booster Club is having to foot the bill for everything; from transportation to helmet reconditioning and everything in between. You can't ask for a better all around guy than Dennis Davis.

There were other factors at play. Specifically the financial woes of MC school system and uncertainties of positions. Not to mention his budget for football next year....$0. School system is in a tough position....hopefully things will turn around for the school and they can move forward. IMO...their first order of business should be to name their interim super permanant super. He is good guy who has communities best Internet at heart.

I've been told that Rains actually lives closer to Boyle High School than Mercers. Could be interesting....if it happens I wonder what MC will try to do to keep him.

Mercer's players were playing with a heavy heart last night. A JR cheerleader, the Sheriffs daughter, was killed just hours before the game in a car accident. The news started trickling in to the players within a hour of kick-off. It was obviously a rough night....

I'd like to know how many flags were thrown in that game. I've never hears of that many being tossed....on both teams!!

Johnson has been playing on two sprained ankles all season. This was first week of the season when he actually was able to practice all week.

Rains has always ran the ball out of the system. Usually 60+% of the

time. But he obviously doesnt know

what he is doing...maybe Mercer should find them somebody better!!! Lol

I think Etown would be crazy not to hire Thompson. Great football coach who grew up there and was also on staff when they had success.

This is coach Cotton. I'd like to comment and put and end to this thread. I was so desperate to be a head coach I took the job without having met Cook or interviewed with him. My mistake. Then when I did get it I went all in committing to a long term re-building project with all my heart, brought my family here and bought my house. I instituted a program of fairness, character and accountability, began teaching fundamentals, instituted a feeder program, scheduled a freshman and full jv schedule and began the BFS strength and conditioning program. Not surprisingly not every kid and parent bought in right away. These are the things that will begin to show dividends in the long run. Every decision I made was to build long term dividends and permanent lasting success. In essence I was building a PROGRAM not a team for a season. I was given less than 1 year. Big mistake committing to people I don't know. I should have never come here but I'm a grown up and I did and now i'm paying for it. Another coach on my staff moved here from Mississippi and bought a house also. I feel bad for him and i'm sorry. I feel bad for the kids who had now bought in and i'm sorry for what their future looks like now.

Keep your head up Coach...you'll rebound and will be a better Coach and MAN for it!!!

Probably today. Rains will not have parent issues. The only time there is parent issues is if the coach lets there be. Rains has been around a long time and been successful everywhere he has been. I dont see any difference with Mercer. I also want to say...that the admin did an excellent job through this process. They had their guy and went through the process. When they were being bashed on here they were taking care of what they needed to do. This is a homerun hire for them.

I believe there is Rain in the Mercer forcast!

 

In the not to distant future!

There is a 100% chance of Rain in the forecast!!!

Possibly Paul Rains

Because when interviewed Principal Yates said they could have a coach by February or as late as April. If they don't hire until April then they missed out on spring football, correct? The job has been open for over a month, they just posted it on December 6th. What are they doing to lead me to believe they are trying to find a coach ASAP? Why wait until February? That is my question.

I wouldn't put much stock into that article. MC is much further along then many are giving them

credit for.

What makes everyone think that they are not in a hurry?

Mercer is much more organized in this process than people are being led to believe (especially on here).

Not retired- fired

This is not true...

LCA has 6...I repeat 6 starters not playing tonight. Would anyone like to change their prediction?

Zach moves extremely well for a kid of his size. The scary thing to me is he really hasnt even matured physically yet. He is still young. I think a couple of years under Rock and he is going to be a specimen. I could easily see Zach in the 325 range in a couple of years. In the clips your watching he was playing at about 305. He is not a fat 305 either. Zach is also a very humble kid who will work hard. His ceiling is extremely high. FTR i have had the pleasure of watching Zach up close for a few years....

Cotton and the LCA guys are friendlies...One of the LCA coaches played in college with Weinrich.

I read on another site that he had already cleaned his desk out and everything at Green...Strange!!

So what will he run?

Power mixture on Offensive (bone, wing T, etc) and a 5-2 on D. He will adjust to a 40 front depending on formations and team.

Ray will not run the system at Henry Co. He will also not run the 353 on D. He was never a fan of the 2 at LCA. Curtis Cotton ran LCA's offense and Hays Browning ran the D.

I'd be surprised by this hire, Wolfe quit in the middle of the year, which if you want to never be hired by the JCPS mafia again, leave in the middle of the year.

When did Wolfe "quit in the middle of the year"??

I was told his mother is/has moved from the area and he wanted to stay. He moved in with his father who lives in the county.
