Happenings in Rabbitland?

No matter what the talent is, when you have to Freshmen and Sophomores against Juniors and Seniors it usually doesn’t work out well.  In 2 or 3 years someone will be deemed a great coach that resurrected Atlanta football.  Could have, should have been Plunk.  But hey, that’s the business he is in.  Parents and board members decide the fate of coach and program

Miles was given one year contracts in each of his 11 years at White Oak. He’s fond of the Bum Phillips quote that posits, “There are only two kinds of coaches in Texas: those who have been fired and those who are going to be.”

“And since I hadn’t been fired,” Miles adds, “it was pretty easy to figure out which category I was going to be in.”
 

 

Quote from Hall of fame coach Cotton Miles.

Yea! That'll teach those kids who had nothing to do with it a lesson! 

4-6, 2-9 with previous coach and 0-10 this year . A lot of those kids didn’t give a dang and haven’t since they got in Hs they didn’t have the character of a lot of Atlanta teams in the past buddy. Is that coach prob ? Some what yes you have to change the culture he wasn’t even given the chance. You would think administration would know that by now. Throw in the fact he had family issues that are much more important than football but he was still there .

Aint none of yall give a dang about Plunk or the kids or Atl. Most of yall have an axe to grind or are a hater...either you had "friends on staff" or youre a LK/QC supporter just looking to throw stones.

Mad at Atlanta for rushing to judgement and letting Plunk go after going 0-10 but yall all rushing to judghment labeling Atl as a bad job or loser program after a couple bad seasons.

Shame..... ATL should feel like trash.... 

Moving forward.... If anyone wants to reach out and touch this with a 10ft pole right now..... Atlanta needs a Culture guy, maybe not necessarily a guy who has racked up a million wins because now they would be CRAZY to think this job is attractive. 

Seems like the biggest issue is that they aren't proud to be the Atlanta Rabbs anymore, need someone to come in and really create a culture, rebuild that feeling when people were a ACTUALLY worried about putting them on the schedule. Wouldn't have to look far or hard if they were smart.

There is so many layers to this whole situation. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Atlanta isn’t a bad job moving forward. The person who comes in needs to change culture and discipline quickly. Your talent picks back up sophomores and freshman classes.  Plunk is a very good coach and wonderful family but it just wasn’t a good fit.

That stuff don't change quickly unless you get rid of the problems...Usually if you get rid of the problem you lose some of your talent. Its a balancing act.
