Big improvement from last season

Yeah, Big improvement from last year, y'all gonna be fine. If not, nobody cares..
Just 2 weeks ago they were the best 5-5 team in the state. What happened? I knew when I seen how close 2-8 Ledford was to beating you guys, no way you beat Andrews.
This team should have been 9-1 or 8-2 but when you rarely get in the weightroom and dont tackle in practice the whole year and have coach calling you by your number because he dont know your name and ......... I could go on for days. The students deserve better. This team was way better than 5-5.Get all in or get out.

Idk any of the details around this situation but I agree, you gotta be a in or all out, no middle ground
From the videos and pictures of summer workouts, looks like they were in the weight room working hard.
This post peaked my interest so I investigated solely based on Maxpreps and I am curious why this time period for Clinton football is perceived by some to be the "bottom of the barrel" for the program.
For example, in 2007 Clinton finished 5-7 (4-3 in conference), 2009 3-8 (3-4 conference), 2010 4-6 (3-3 in conference), 2011 1-9 (0-6 in conference), 2012 5-8 (3-4 in conference), 2017 6-6 (4-2 in conference), 2024 2-8 (2-3 in conference).
What is it at this point in time that has Clinton followers (what few are left here) so beside themselves?
Those are some pretty poor records over the last 15 or so years.

I think the seasons with the former coach had them thinking that they were back to normal. But it happens, we went through it. Give the coach time, and maybe he can get it right. Ijs
Are the players in the weight room during school? If they aren't then that is an admin problem. if they are and they are not being pushed then that is a coach problem. when a team is struggling to win it starts in the WR. Confidence and winning and crushing goals and pushing through pain starts there. If they don't want to do it, they don't play. The coach must be willing to cut dead weight and make examples and those that want o play and work will get it done. You can't stop a team that believes in themselves and that they can't be outworked. just my opinion
Hear the QB is being shopped around..... tick, tick, tick, stay tuned!
4 of 6 losses were by one score or fewer, the other 2 losses were 2 scores.
Id say that is progress from last seasons doo doo

You haven’t been around very long.
Had no idea Clinton fans were around this season, till I saw this.
According to the Sampson Independent Facebook page. Coach Boykin has resigned.
I saw that also, now the speculation begins on who will be the new coach, maybe Scronce with the turnaround at Hobbton?
My buddy told me a guy named Arnette is front runner. Idk.
Hobbton guy would be interesting.
I've heard 4 names already.
3 are solid choices

Not going to be Hobbton coach. Just hope they hire someone that can relate and motivate are students
It may say he resigned but I’ve heard he was not going to be retained irregardless.
I know you are very plugged in, and I appreciate all your post as a HS football fan. Not sure why the Hobbton guy is not being looked at, and I am sure there is a good reason, but I think he's going to be very solid.
I am hearing they will probably hire DC Jason Arnette..... I don't think that is the best option honestly.
My friend who is plugged into the team mentioned Arnette as favorite but don’t look past the option of Lakewood coach coming back to Clinton he says.
Not really plugged in , as far as the Hobbton coach I dont think the old timers will allow a Wallace guy to be their head coach. He is a really good coach tho.
I heard from some Clinton brass that a name to watch out for is Barrett Sloan from Midway High down the road. Expect them to reach out and make an offer.
