BlueDuckSaddle Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Not a big deal in dahouse anymore! McFarlin made Whitehouse a football school, so this isnt a big story like it may have been 8 years ago. New AD may do it. He is an old Wally Dawkins assistant. That would most likely match the new direction. May even hire Wally back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfan Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Just saw where CBS 19 is reporting they coach Kelly from Jacksonville has been hired and new basketball head coach. I think this is a good hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of current and future talent gives him opportunity for State titles over the next 4 to 5 years plus he has total control of his program. You can't get that control at Whitehouse.
