Rumor in Madison is MC interviewed Herbert Davis, who is one of the best in the state at any level right now.

Hmmm... someone suggested this a week or so ago.

Devin cooper at Scott Central will get an interview at Petal. As will Tyler Peterson. I expect Madison central to hire the guy at Northwest Rankin.

Cooper won't get the Petal job.

Prob not but he will get an interview. And he’s quite the impressive interview and has gotten some attention already from some important people there. But I do agree it’s unlikely. I will say this... whenever he does move on and someone takes a chance on him they will have one of the best coaches in the state of MS. Listening to him talk defense is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever heard.

If NWR opens like I suspect it is about to... then you’ve got the potential for some stiff to really open up for Coop.

Some rumors among coaches that the Hoover coach may be a candidate at MC.

I think he's going to have a hard time getting a big 6A job without a lot of help.

I have someone that?s pretty close to the Hoover program. I?ll ask.

According to someone pretty close to the Hoover program, Niblett is ready to leave. He has tried to get smaller college jobs. He has his years in for retirement in Alabama. They have not heard anything specific, but they said they would not be surprised at all.

I agree. To a point. But he does have a lot of help. Some of the biggest names in football push for him.

Who you know always matters.

But Sam did an incredible job at Ridgeland. He took over a meh program (at best) and was in north state in year two. Had he flopped at Ridgeland, he wouldn't have kept climbing.

He was in North State year 1. This will be there 3rd coach in 3 years. (RHS that is)

Great pickup for MC. I?m curious the direction NWR goes. So what big jobs are still open?

Doesn?t Coach Davis have his time needed for retirement in the state system? If so, I can?t imagine him going back. Barring some monster payday he couldn?t turn down somewhere, he is in a very good situation at MRA. His local talent pool in the Madison area is already huge. Also, with the way they are winning, the schedule they are playing, and the offense they run he is going to continue to attract players from outside the immediate location.

I like coach Davis and was coached by him. He is a great coach, don't get me wrong but he is also great at jumping ship if the talent level is falling off a bit and landing at a school that is loaded up. He has followed Termie Land from Heritage to Pillow and now MRA. I know he left termie for a bit and went down to BA for a bit I believe.

I don't know a lot about him. Does he run an innovative offense? Or is he another run first guy?

Niblett would have gotten me excited.

I don't think Herbert has a ton of time in the MS retirement system. I know he had short stints at Ocean Springs and at Lawrence County but I think the rest of his career has been at private schools.
Other than for retirement purposes I can't see him leaving MRA right now. He's a hero there for beating Prep.

Herbert isnt leaving MRA until he has to. He gets paid well and its easy to win there. He has no public school retirement.

Not sure about Bayou, but Davis coached at IA in mid/late 90's. Followed Riley Myers, I believe.

Thanks to all. I assumed he would have previously coached in the state system. I?m not sure of his age but it would likely not be financially beneficial for him to make the switch. He is in a very good situation right now.

You are absolutely right about Petal. Could have had the guy from Columbia(but wouldn?t pay what had to be paid) ... Tyler peterson...cooper(but wouldn?t pay what needed to be paid)

He worked previously with Petal Admins. That's why he was hired. He's not a bad coach. But that was a big job with big fish on the line.

Agreed. I think he?s a good young coach but if you?re looking for a strong, proven, experienced h/c with a good resume for big time football in ms then it?s a bit of an underwhelming hire.
