We understand that the Esteps can't bring those players with him, we're just trying to say that they obviously know how to win with talent! Something Clifford and his ENTIRE staff did not know how to do. They utilize their players to the maximum potential, something I would love to be seen done to our kids.

I am not knocking Ted's integrity or character, he's a great guy, but that's not going to make him a good HC. There'd be a hard time "bringing back the fire" to Trojan football. People would not get excited again, and I hate to say it, but the kids would probably not respect him as much as they would an outsider.

Although Newsome is not Clifford, he was still on the staff for all these terrible recent years we've had. And that's something that's going to carry with him.
The Esteps are close friends of the Cliffords (as well as other families in Portsmouth).

Do you believe that they would be considered "outsiders"?

Whoever gets the Head Coaching Job needs to have a plan to get the football program back on track. But this also has to include an attitude change about football by parents and would be players. That hard work and performance gets you playing time. As well as your actions off the field can take playing time away. Also school work being a high priority. It will take time to rebuild.
Ted Newsome is that man.

Ted Newsome is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

I was currently talking about national ranking. The Esteps have however won the tournament that they play in. It's kinda like criticism of a d2 school for not winning a d1 title you can only play at the level your athletic association will allow you. I agree it's less impressive but still an accomplishment.

5 teams is not a state championship.

It is a league title.

Greg has been gone since his graduation in 2000 after he helped lead us to our first playoff appearance in years. The oldest kids were 5 years old then with that and the fact he is not tied to the staff yes he is outsider trying to come home.

I disagree.

His family have never been outsiders due to their close relationship with Clifford.

Yes he has brothers at soc schools which makes them outsiders. Greg is defenatly still part of the Trojan family "once a Trojan always a Trojan" but he has no connection to anything that has happened here since he lead us to the playoffs his senior year throwing for 979 yards and completing 59 percent of his passes despite missing 5 games with a broken hand.
He also helped to lead us to a our first victory over Burg in 99 since 93 (who was number 1 ranked in the state) We lost 5 straight to them till then anyone know the last time we beat burg? Oh is it 5 years ago lol

As I've stated many times before, if Portsmouth were forced to hire within (let's pray they don't)....Aaron Duncan should be the only guy they should consider. Chad Hammond was the defensive coordinator this past season and we see how that worked out. If anybody watched Portsmouth's defense this year, you'll know exactly what Im talking about. He disproved himself as a HC after watching that sad showcase.

Greg is an outsider, because he was in no way apart of that staff and has lived in a complete different region of the country for the past years! He'd bring back fire and excitement to the program. Ted Newsome or Chad Hammonds would not.

The Esteps and Cliffords are close enough that he would be considered an insider. This is from the perspective that the decision to hire him would be based upon the nepotism that continues to pervade Portsmouth City Schools.

I'm sure the decision will be between one of the three due to all of them are teachers and possible money that could be saved without filling the retirement spot of Clifford by adjusting teachers around to fill the opening. AD or Chad will be your next Head coach in Portsmouth either one brings energy back to the program. Newsome and his wife have both been involved with coaching other sports an showed no excitement or care torwards those teams or squads an were replaced. So that could possibly hurt Newsome gone into this race.
Ted Newsome's sport is football.

Period.

He would bring untapped energy to the football program.

Ted Newsome is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.

I doubt it.

I was being facetious. I'm sorry that was lost on you I thought you would have picked up on it as we all have the sarcasium in your support of newsome.
