Slickarick Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 THSCA has Pilot Point AD/HFC open. super later. wonder where the HFC is going? Sure to be an inside hire this late, one would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbankman Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Not sure 3-8 last year. Seems if they wanted change it would have been sooner unless someone that is known expressed interest late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclean69 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Was this the same coach that went 7-4 last year and 10-4 (4 roudns deep) the year before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbankman Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I think the article said he was in year 1 but I didn't know if that was accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allheartnoquit Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Man Super late....I am sure this is still a fantastic job to have with a rich tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackandgoldeagle Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Unless they get some move ins(which wouldn't surprise anyone), PP will not be a playoff contender for a while. Their Jh and Jv squads are mediocre at best. It is a place with rich tradition, but I can see why Danny David got out of coaching there a couple of years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbankman Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 That is crazy that they don't have talent in the lower grades. Figure some would want to live there. Seems like a good location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was Peacocks first year as head coach. Lots of tradition at PP. Should be a place where a coach could be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachingforfreeclothes Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) The letter posted was from the district's facebook website. I don't know very many HFC that would take a 1 year contract unless they knew they were on the way out.

blackandgoldeagle Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) So was Peacock hired as head football coach by Danny David's recommendation and the board approved it for 1 year(which is what David had left on his contract before retirement)? Did the board not see eye to eye with Danny David the Mentor and Peacock the Protege? This letter sounds like a lot of cover up is taking place to please the community that no harm was done to anyone.

blesseddaily Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Wow!!! So basically it boils down to: 1. PP not offering him a multi-year deal until he threatened to quit (if you believe the admin) 2. Admin. refusing to hire who the AD wanted to hire. 3. AD wanting to have control over all the athletic departments and admin. refusing to go along with it. 4. Admin. telling the AD who to hire for the head girls track coach because she was popular with the parents (and I am betting that's who admin. wanted to make the girls AD in the first place)...but that's just me reading between the lines and knowing how admins think!!! I would say that there are probably more problems that aren't specifically mentioned in this official letter!!! And I would bet most of the flack is coming from the girls side parents who want their choice to be the girls AD...and again...that's just reading between the lines and many years of experience speaking!!

BillyClydePuckett Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 From what I am hearing school board hired the weakest sup they could find so the board could micro manage every decision. Story as old as time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy that interviewed there a year ago. he got told by Admin that "PP is no longer a football school".

There are so many red flags here, and I guarantee you this is only the tip of the iceberg!!!

I'm a little confused or missed something here. The letter said the coach was offered a 1 year contract in his initial year so the district could evaluate him as a first year AD. But what about this year, when they reviewed his contract, was he given another 1 year contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoelessJoe Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I think so, then later after he threatened to leave, so they made the 2 year offer. But an earlier poster said PP would have a hard time getting an experienced AD after the posting of the “letter” and that this was just the tip of the iceberg as far as problems in PP. Expect MANY more changes to come soon there, it’s not a good place to be coaching right now. Which is a shame, with all the tradition they have there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
