Portsmouth Coaching Job

[Buckeye-4-Life]

Heard there will be a change at PHS. Will the administration stay in house or go outside the system?

[noles_fan]

Wow that was quick!

[hbk2016]

If this is actually true who would be some legitimate contenders for this job?

[TrojanXplosion]

Bob Shaffer please!

Honestly wouldn't mind Clifford rehired at this point.

Cadogen?

[Jolly P(irate)]

Going outside will be the only way to revive this program. They have been catered to long enough.

[LetsGoPSU]

I think we stay inside, Because whom better to mentor these young men then Gerald Cadogan, great man, Penn State background, taught by the man with 409 victories Joe Paterno........and please stay away from the ignorant comments, unless you have followed the Penn State situation closely in the past three weeks, you have no idea what you are talking about, so don't make a fool of yourself

[Bear42]

Sparks resign? Fired? Anyone have details?
This puts a lot of pressure on whomever comes in. You better win in 2 seasons or get sent home. What does Portsmouth have coming back? I know they lose a few of their playmakers.

I don't think anyone knows at this time what is going on at Portsmouth.

King Trojan strictly warned me not to tell this to anyone. And he said, “The Son of Captain Trojan must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the assistant coaches and John Madden himself, and he must be fired and on the third day be hired again.”

Then he said to us all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny the Old Order and take up their XBox controller daily and play against me. For whoever wants to win the tournament will lose it, but whoever loses it against me will win it. What good is it for someone to win the whole league, and yet lose or forfeit the ability to play XBox? Whoever is ashamed of me and my methods, the Son of Captain Trojan will be furious with them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of John Madden's new playbook."

“Truly I tell you, those who are witnessing this will not taste victory before they see the Son of Captain Trojan rise again”

Cadogen?

Bob Shaffer??? Are you serious? Game went by him awhile ago.

[trojanbacker97]

Cadogan is not the answer either. They should start with a clean slate. Bring in an experienced coach from outside the program and let them choose their own staff.

Agree 100+%

[Buckeye-4-Life]

Nice idea but not realistic in high school. With teaching jobs being an issue, you cant just bring guys in like you can in college. High school head coaches are very limited on how many changes they can make to a staff.

[trojanbacker97]

That's not necessarily the truth in all cases.There are many schools with assistants that don't have teaching positions.

[trojanbacker97]

The coach at West chose his assistants. They only had one returning assistant from the year before.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

I THINK THE TROJANS NEED TO MAKE A VERY EXTENSIVE VIEW COMPLETELY OUT OF THIS AREA, AND FIND AN ACCOMPLISHED COACH WITH A VERY DEEP BACKGROUND. SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO BUILD A TEAM AND KNOWS HOW TO GET IT DONE. I THINK GERALD CADOGEN WOULD BE A GREAT ASSISTANT COACH AND COME UP THROUGH THE RANKS, AND APPEAL TO THE YOUTH OF TROJAN LAND.

I KNOW THE FOLKS IN FIGHTING TIGER COUNTRY WANT THEM BACK AT FULL STEAM

[Game day]

I think they went outside the area the last time correct me if I am wrong.

[trojanbacker97]

Yes they did but they didn't hire an experienced successful coach with the resume to back it up.

[js7_22]

Where did this Coach come from? How long has he been coaching?

[dreamweaver]

The coach at West chose his assistants. They only had one returning assistant from the year before.

The Coach at West brought his Dad and brother as the main assistants to his program. The main assistant is his DAD who was the HEAD coach at LU for years and years and quit to help his son because there basically wasn't any "quality" help in the area. I disagree but hey whatever works. Ptown needs to get this right this time! I would think a lot of coaches would be interested in this job.
