Portsmouth Trojan's Next Head Football Coach

[Kentucky Trojan]

I've got a deck of cards made up so we can get the full story and try to save the program. By the time we are through with him, Ted will go to the interview dressed like Judas Priest, thus killing his chances to get the job (nobody likes Judas Priest anymore) and perhaps these blasted nightmares will stop.

Which Judas Priest song do you believe would be better in your scenario for the interview?

Personally, I like the one on the left.

welcome back!

Thanks.

Curious..........what makes Ted so brave?

He has had to put up with your put-downs of him.

I am the one who gets blamed for them, yet the rest of you are the ones who have made him a stronger person by all of your hurtful statements.

It has been reported to me on Facebook that a former running back in the Portsmouth Hall of Fame from the 1990's is taking credit for Clifford's resignation, Joe Albrecht's firing, and he is now going after an administrator.

Joe got fired in the mist of all this, I had not heard...???!!!

Word of mouth....rumor....

...nothing verified by me....

...2nd-hand information...

...waiting on confirmation from the district

I think the Eagles would agree you shouldn't draw the queen of diamonds, and that the queen of hearts is always your best bet.

I haven't said a word about the coaching issue since Clifford stepped down and Ted wasn't the focus of my posts! The program has already taken a step in the right direction.

My hard drive is old and antiquated but I can't recall saying anything about Ted and his coaching abilities. :12224 Maybe I need to add a memory stick!

Your quotes:

10/8/2012

The cesspool needs drained. The lack of discipline on the field and in the field house is a direct result of poor leadership from the coaching STAFF!! Protocol or not, the incident should have never happened. Coaches set the tone for the team, not the players. The current guy is a freakin' embarrassment. If it wasn't for a young man standing up and doing what was right, who knows what would have happened. Make no mistake, the lewd sexual hazing incident was horrific and graphic. FACT!!! The coaching staff is ineffective! FACT!! The ony way for the Trojan's to gain credibility is to hire from outside the program. FACT!!! Anything less and you have more of the same! FACT!!

Absolutely ridiculous!!!

(This was in response to naming Ted Newsome as Interim Head Coach.)

Did he really say this???? I"m not an alumni but I'm close enough to the program to know what is going on off the field. I'm not going to question an individuals integrity/motives outside of football but there are serious field house decisions being made that warrant a complete overhaul of the staff. I would love to see the Trojan's be successful on/off the field but not at any and all costs.

Maybe I need to update my glasses with the hard drive and memory stick but I don't see where I talked about Ted and his coaching ability. All these posts have been made before ole Cliff stepped down! 8) He's gone and now the Trojans will either bring in the new or maintain the status quo!

Very Clinton-esque.

Would you like for me to define the phrase, "I can't recall saying anything about Ted and his coaching abilities", with regards to your 3 quotes?

[starbase_318]

It all depends on how you want to split the hair....... Now, I didn't mention that man, Mr. Newsome, not a single time......... :12224

He is the Associate Head Coach; therefore, he is Clifford's next-in-command.

You mentioned:

0-3 frosh at GCHS. Horrible team. No OL or DL. We scored 1 TD in 3 games. (Yes, we only played 3 games.) We lost to Coal Grove, Russell, and Raceland in 2006.

7-2 JV at GRC in 2012. 4-0 at home. 4-1 vs. the 5 public Lexington teams. Lost to Scott County and Bryan Station. Defeated Johnson Central 52-0.

First of all are you really going to blame the kids? You said the team was horrible lol how many times have you although under different user names critized Clifford for blaming kids when he would saying something as innocent the boys aren't buying into the system. Unbeliveable

Second of all you're head jv coach? That's kind of an oxymoron isn't it? I mean you're not in charge you're the guy that calls the plays during jv games maybe. I bet you run the real head coaches system, and I bet you practice with the varsity so you are not a head coach.
You critized the level of play the Esteps coach at though, unbelievable.

[Trojan_FB_Alum]

Bruce Kalb?

He sliped my mind. Don't know if he would be up for a head job right now but I'd love to have him back on the staff. KT probably already disqualified him cause he play with me though too lol.

Bruce Kalb spends too much time with his ladies to be a head coach in high school football.

Please explain what you mean or are trying to insinuate by this statement

We had 1 good athlete on that team when I coached Freshmen. He has played for the Kentucky Warriors since their creation.

None of the OL/DL played all 4 years. It was a comedy to watch them play.

////////////////////////////////////

This year, I made the offensive play calls and advised the defensive coordinator on big downs.

I run the head coach's system but I added several plays (with his permission) such as counter trey and a halfback pass off of the option. We do practice with the varsity. That is one of the things that I will talk with him about in the off-season is having separate practice time for the JV...hopefully around 20 minutes at the end of practice.

I am the RB coach for the varsity and the head coach for the jv. I also assist with the freshmen since we play doubleheaders on Mondays. I am also the booth coach on Friday nights.

We play 6A football in Kentucky. Our program is on the rise, but it has fallen on hard times. We hope to bring it to the level of Trinity or Scott County within the next 3-5 years. Only time will tell.

I criticized the private school "5-team' state championship that Estep had.

Good luck ruffling my feathers.
