I know him personally. He is a superb guy and has been a successful coach everywhere he has been. MRA got an outstanding coach and a great man. I don't know much about MRA since I grew up in Memphis & have lived in TX since graduating from State, but don't be surprised if MRA is in the playoffs really soon in whatever division they play in.

Germantown position andimpressed alot of people. Hope he finds great success.

I really thought he was going to get the Gtown job. And yes, many people were very impressed with him. My guess is that he will have MRA playing very well really soon and will probably be approached by bigger schools again within about 3 years. He is a sharp guy that knows the game. He will succeed.

I just wish we could get a MSU grad hired at Madison Central.

I wonder how many more years 'Ole Bobby Hall is going to coach there.
