dillonpanthers Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Did McClure have years on his contract and they didn't just want to pay him off? Or they really wanted to keep him around? Not unusual to create some bogus position or move them to transportation or something until their contract is up. But if he's there for the long haul, that's a huge red flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he's there for the long haul, that's a huge red flag I’m not sure the particulars of his contract. What I am sure of is the terrible discipline and culture he created for a decade. I don’t care if you have to get a loan from the bank you don’t keep a cancer around you eliminate it immediately. You dang sure don’t let him anywhere near new AD hires or much less a search committee. That’s absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know going in full well what the consequences are. If you want to talk about his son what about the 100s of others kids that have not had the same opportunities because of politics created when he was in charge. I’m sick of hearing sob stories. Do your dang job or you lose it just that the real world is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGodfather Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 The staff can only deal with “discipline” as the head man allows. It is impractical to completely disintegrate an entire coaching staff. Are you talking about every sport boys and girls or just football. There are guys on the staff who are tremendous coaches. Let the new guy come in and evaluate but to arbitrarily say to get rid of every last one is a bit of a stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclean69 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 So a new AD is hired. A coach that has not stepped foot into Atlanta yet. A coach that tons of people have said great things about and people are already on here mouthing. Parents and community members are already putting it in kids' heads that this guy shouldn't have the job and still connecting McClure as the excuse for any problems. Ah yea it seems like the coaches are the big issue in Atlanta..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m speaking to the overall development culture and discipline in offseason and football. I want the best for the kiddos and coaches but watching the program over last 5 years spiral is disheartening. Something must give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRusk2009 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Could be that there isn't much talent to pull from at the moment. Kids are clearly going elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yea it seems like the coaches are the big issue in Atlanta..... I was just thinking something similar. The vibe on this thread is that people are split on the hire......... Good luck to the new AD/HFC. May need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s the million dollar question all should be asking! “Kids are clearly going elsewhere”…………Why?!……..that’s the point of any of my discussions. If we arent “as talented” because of kids going elsewhere then we all must find out why. Anyone that’s been a fan the last 5 -10 years has seen discipline rapidly declining, politics played, kids leaving , the end result the first ever 0-10 season. This should be alarming to anyone in our district or on this message board. I’m hopeful Morton is the man and will support him 100% however the old days must be left behind and a line drawn in the sand. If done so with a little patience from all of us the ingredients are here and within a few years could be ripe for the picking. Time for change! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
