Interesting.

Seems like most people think he's an average coach that is able to win a lot of games/titles because his teams are just so much more talented than the competition.

He's a f ing idiot. He lost 2 games to mus teams that he had out-talented at every position on the field. It was like watching a Down syndrome kid coaching. I'm dead serious.

And I think one of those Ls was to a former Lee academy head coach.

The best coaching in ms is in the academies, from what I've seen. Exact opposite in Alabama.

Another thought: SP may end up in 5A with next classification. Seems like they were right on the line 2 years ago.

We might see him make his way to the JC ranks. With the rebuild coming tsun' way he could be more useful there..... Note increase in JC coaches favorable to tsun.

He's 106-10 since 2007, for a winning % of 91%.

If that's an idiot, I'd hate to be someone who has to live up to your standards.

I think he's had enough. The rumor among the HS ranks is that he's pursued a lot of metro opening the last few years including MC, Brandon, and NWR. If that rumor is correct, he's wanted out for years.

He turned down some jobs waiting on his son to graduate (I believe he has now graduated?). Lance has done a great job, the average intelligence of the UPS player is pretty low, he had to keep things very simple and has still won 90% and a boatload of titles. Just keeping half of those thugs on the field is a miracle.

He is probably has 25 years in the Mississippi retirement program and is planning on taking his retirement check and get another job out of state or at a private school. Financially he would be a fool not to do this.

Woahhhhhhh. I'm not saying this isn't true. But if it is, how stupid are these places (MC, Brandon, NWR) for not hiring Pogue? Wow. That would be so dumb.
