So did Midyett leave? The posting I saw said they were taking applicants with the possibility of being a head coach. Are they planning on hiring from within if the right person doesn't apply?
I'm sure Bates is the guy for the job. Only good thing about this is that it happened early.

He should be, hes paid his dues, it's long overdue....good coach and a good guy.
Guess the QB leaving was to just to much
Where is Midyett going? I've heard rumors but nothing solid yet.
I was in Dixie this morning an the old man table said he was going to Warren

Well Bo will be good to work with
What direction will Pc go. They must be hard at it my buddy down there won't answer his phone
I think they should go to 8 man
Tells u all u need to know when one of the pride and joys of the school didn't want to stick around
I do know that there are at least two guys on staff that are qualified to take it.... I don't know if either wants the job or not.
I think both would do a good job but lets not kid ourselves... this is a tough job to win games at.
I've heard that Bates is looking to get into administration... so who knows if he wants the hassle of a football rebuild or not.

I'm not, just not really your place or the right thread to point that out.
We know it'll be a tough job. our kids have got to get tougher. too many mommas boys that only want to play baseball. Until that changes it'll be a rebuild every year. We know you and king JC are down the road feasting on the weak... don't need you to come on here pointing it out. that's all.
I wonder if Coach Vincent will put his name in the hat. Did a fantastic job at Hazen with that defense this year.

👍😉😁
No question baseball has been king. They have to learn to piggyback on that success in all sports.
Arn't most 2A schools constantly rebuilding? Only a few have the numbers EVERY year to continue high levels. Plugging in 10th graders as they come in for their best fit can be challenging . The consistency of the same coach for many years in a row certainly does help. I think one would have to wonder "what happened?" when a home town boy takes the job and is touted as the guy who can come in and save the program because of his loyalties, and then he leaves this quick. I believe when they hired him there was at least a few other very good coaches who applied(from the area), too. Smith from JC comes to mind. People that may have stayed for the long haul. Good luck to PC and whoever get that job.
I don't think you can automatically look at Midyett leaving and assume things are bad. There could be a lot of factors that led to his decision. I would think it would be hard to coach at your hometown school. Maybe PC needs someone with no ties that doesn't care who they make mad in order to get the job done. 8)

Hes continued a great program, but the program existed long before he arrived.
It did... but he took it to a championship level. Before Looney baseball was just average.
No, they don't! Lol! But that's what makes those games so fun. PC and JC are consistently good in baseball and basketball. I had high hopes for their football program. They should at least be Hector/Salem competitive with the athletes they have. It would take the JC/PC rivalry to another level if they could.
So instead of 72-0 the games will be 56-0

If PC played Hector or Salem's schedule, I dare say they would be that successful. Salem had that good running back this year Turner that put up like 2500 yards. He was a good player and I mean no disrespect by saying this, but could you imagine how many yards Dezmon Jackson would have put up in that same spot? Apples to oranges
I dont think it's a coaching or a talent issue at PC....

No question.... it's a culture issue. Not sure how you fix that.
Even those teams usually beat PC though. PC has everything to be competitive in our conference. They just need someone to put it together. This coming from someone that is anti PC. Lol! If PC can support baseball and basketball the way they do, they can support powerlifting and football as well. It's just getting the kids to buy in.
The key is buying in . When kids are quitting bc the coach works them too hard, that is a rumor I heard from several parents with football kids. Another is participation . Me and one parent was talking about that mid season. Pc had 24 kids and it is one of the largest double A schools in the state. The basketball team has like 18 on the roster . Until the culture is changed out here Pc will always be playing for the last playoff spot every year. It's a shame to bc the athletes are there for better success .

EldoFan,
you seem to be connected to the parents, what is the deal? How come they won't push their kids to play football but will drive all over the south to chase baseball and basketball? I don't get it.
I know some football parents . They just like u and I don't understand why that is either. Basketball and baseball get a ton of support but football doesn't . I've heard lots of rumors from Little Johnnys parents do not wont him playing fb bc he may get hurt or his future is in basketball or football so that's what we are concentrating on. I'm sure there may be some truth to those rumors . They are as frustrated as us fans.
I can tell you what would fix PCs football, track, and weightlifting, and boost their basketball even more.... but theyd end up in 3A and the solution is one that most in PC have no desire to accept.
With the enrollment increasing out here I feel their days in 2a are numbered anyways
Quote from: eldofan on December 13, 2018, 02:14:27 pm

Which will only play out worse for them in sports. Just like coaching and talent isnt the issue for PC in football, track, and weightroom.......neither is their enrollment numbers. However what it will take would likely cause some, especially some who choice in, to seek out other locations.
I'm trying to be as gentle as possible so that some PC folks dont get their feathers ruffled.
I think I'm smelling what you're stepping in there dragondad.
I know what u are saying . I chose Pc being I wanted out of town and in the country when I decided I was going to stay here and not move since I'm a transplant and not from Arkansas. It also was closer to work and convient to my Monroe roots . I can't speak for others moving to Pc . Just know why I did
I'm not saying anyone specifically, but I'm also not naive enough to believe that no one is there because of the demographics..... both financial and racial demographics. If PC were to merge with Strong, Felsenthal, Huttig, Ubana.... they're problems in the sports I mentioned would likely not cease but, they would definitely become much more competitive.

What kind of support are the other programs getting that football is not? Can you guys be more specific?
Participation would be an obvious one. Look at the number of kids out for baseball and basketball compared to football. Coaches pulling at kids to specialize in one sport would definitely be another. That isn't just at PC though, that is country wide and starts at an extremely young age.

numbers ok lets look... Baseball and softball both average low 20 numbers every year...that's 4 classes 9th-12th..not 3 classes 10th-12th like football and basketball.. Football always has been between low 20 up as high as 30.. basketball has always been 15-18 ... so looking at numbers I don't get what your saying..when counting 4 classes compaired to 3...just asking what u see I don't ??
I believe you had almost 30 on your baseball team.
:-[
I'm on the outside looking in. Someone on here said you dressed 24 this season. That seems low for one of the largest 2A schools that has excellent participation rates in every other sport. Would you not agree?
Football had 24 varsity players which is poor participation for a school of its size .

you would think so any how.
I laugh at this whole thread. yall need to be asking these kids why they dont play instead of blaming their mommas and daddys and the other programs at the school.
From what little I know about Pc is they need a guy that can recruit the hallways. Figure out a way for kids to not miss practice but still be able to do golf, tennis, band, get their shots in for hoops or take bp or whatever it is that's keeping the kids that aren't playing to play
Biggest deal here - do they really want to hire a head football coach or was this just a way to get Jacobs into the role. If they really wanted to be different and really wanted to improve - would make sense to go outside the current program and find somebody willing to break the mold. I doubt Parkers Chapel does that.

The point is that the secondary sports take precedence and they shouldn't.
You think anyone at JC would have EVER asked Carpenter if they could miss football for tennis practice?
.......exactly
that conversation would never happen.
Basketball and baseball should have their season and football shouldn't get in the way of that.... but the other stuff like tennis and golf... give me a break...

Our Sup is trying very hard to make PC a football school to go along with other athletic success so I would imagine he is going to hire the best football guy he can. Whether that is Jacobs himself or someone from outside it will be who he feels is the best football guy
I've seen it all now.
Conspiracy theories over Parkers Chapel Football.
Just passing on observations from some in the area. I believe PC should be much better than they have been football-wise. I think they can get a good one if that is, actually, what they are looking for.

I think you can look at the hire between King and Midyett and see EXACTLY why PC football isn't where they should be.
They had the obvious hire in the building and the powers at the time went out and hired a guy that wouldn't push basketball or baseball for the spotlight. I think it set the program back at least 10 years.

Understandable. Guys who understand how to make football important in places like that are tough to find, but they do exist. Given the talent level PC has, they should be better. Will be interested to see how it plays out. Any idea when they are looking to bring someone in?
I'm not sure if they have given a timeline. I don't see the El Dorado paper every day but I haven't even seen anything about it in the paper.

One is in a dying county with the smallest population for a county in the state. One sets dead in the center of industry. One is consistently getting smaller, one is consistently getting bigger. One is competitive on a state wide level in every other sport they field with excellent support from the administration and town, one isn't. Just the obvious ones. Abel's is young and Hampton may not even have a school in the distant future with the way the county is loosing population.

What do you mean getting smaller? School or county?
Since 1990, union county has lost 14.8% of population(46,719 to 39,887 people).
Since 1990, el dorado has lost 23.8% of its population(23,146 to 18,030 people).
Looks like they are in the boat with rest of South Ark.

No doubt that all of South Arkansas is slowly dying, but at least El Dorado and the surrounding communities have some industry left to help carry us. With the way that consolidation works, I would hate to be in the smallest county population wise in the state. I'm just giving valid reasons why PC is not a "lateral" move from Hampton.

Mehh... county has lost roughly 6,000 over the last 20 years or so, not that big of an issue. Most of what El Do lost stayed in the county, but moved outside of El Dorado..... mainly to PC.

I'd be willing to bet most of that growth is school choice kids from Hermitage
Hermitage is holding steady over the same period
Midyett was a 3 sport athlete in high school and he expects kids to be at least 2 sport athletes. that is pretty much the norm at most successful AA football programs. PC has a bunch of kids that are scared of the summer heat and conditioning. They will regret focusing on baseball only in junior high when they get to senior high and have to sit on the dang bench!

Midyett was a 3 sport athlete in high school and he expects kids to be at least 2 sport athletes. that is pretty much the norm at most successful AA football programs. PC has a bunch of kids that are scared of the summer heat and conditioning. They will regret focusing on baseball only in junior high when they get to senior high and have to sit on the dang bench! Midyett gone, Jacobs may be gone and the superintendent has applied and is one of the top choices for the Lake Hamilton Superintendent job. lots of bailing at perfect Chapel.
Jacob Midyett was much more than a three sport athlete. He was an enormously hardworking and intelligent once in a generation athlete. The kind of player that other players look up to even if they are years older. He was basically a coach on the field and had more maturity and character in junior high than many adults.
I can illustrate this very well. When he was in the 8th grade he was QB for the Jr. High team that came to Norphlet to play. We had a good Junior High team that year and beat them easily by several touchdowns. Coach tried to avoid running up the score by repeatedly calling the exact same up the middle running play every time in the second half. Despite this we scored a couple of fourth quarter touchdowns and PC was obviously upset.
When the teams lined up on the 50 after the game to shake hands all the PC players and coaches clasped their hands behind their backs as they walked across and refused to shake hands with the Norphlet players or coaches.
All except Midyett. Who shook hands with all the opposing players and coaches.

That is not a problem unique to Parkers Chapel, unfortunately.

He had a great role model, his father was equally a class act in high school as well.... and one heck of an athlete too.

Not being at the game, i'm not 100% sure why they were mad.
Example 1: If my defense cannot stop dive, and the other team calls it 50 times in a row and scores, there's nothing wrong with that. I cannot be expected to tell a kid not to score. even the subs. that is what the game is about. You cannot be mad at me for running the most simple play and you not being able to stop it.
Example 2: i'm up by 3 TD's or more and i am throwing the ball and running reverses or trick plays, then you have every right to be mad. that's not cool. I'd be super mad if that went on, too.
So, in example 1 if you don't shake hands you're the poor sport, but in example 2, something needs to be said, some kind of statement. coach's need to know and teach their kids a winners attitude. what's right and what's wrong.
A few years year ago i heard of a PC vs Hermitage game where hermitage had only 11 or 12 players. PC was up by alot and was throwing fades, running reverses, and onside kicking after every score. i'm sure this was a different coaching staff at that point, but i shook my head when i learned of this. my point is, did PC learn anything from the day they didn't shake hands until the day they ran it up on hermitage?

If Vincent, seems his time to get a HC position is now. Could also assume he could land a much better small school job than PC.
I always thought he would try and get closer to hot springs for his first head gig
I haven't heard any new names at Dixie in the mornings.
Last I heard there was still a chance it might be filled inhouse or it might not.
I don't think we will know much until after the first round of interviews.
AD seems to be keeping it pretty quiet... as it should be.

Do not believe any of these are interviewing / interested.
Last two are based on pure speculation. Doubtful to see Ables step back professionally. Doubtful to see Vincent return to program he left a year ago.
If an in-house guy, will be Jacobs.

I could be mistaken but didn't Bates take Norphlet to the playoffs several years back as HC. I can't remember the situation but he was HC for a year I think.

Doug Means had a good run at Norphlet.

I'm from hazen. Close with the Coaching staff. Vincent won't go anywhere until after next year

You are correct. He was interim between McAnally and Sanders. They broke a 20 something year playoff drought that year.
Coach Mac up and left before the red-white game that year.

so you mean to tell me that this dude done broke a 20 year playoff drought and they still didnt hire him? or anyone else sense then hire him? you guys sound like a conspiracy has been going on against this guy smh
Bates is a class act! They will probably name the track after him if they ever build one. Someone should have given him a chance a long time ago

The admin at the time thought they were making a splash hire with Sanders. Bates was young and inexperienced. He stayed and was OC. I think he and Sanders are still good buddies.
Being from PC when they didn't have football has worked against him a lot it seems.
To his credit, he's never seemed bitter about it.

He dang near won a state title in track last year. And PC athletes don't exactly scream "Track star" at you. ;D
I think they finished runner up.
But back to the coaching search.....

Info I got was expect Jacobs to get job or see position reposted after Christmas break. Was told several of those set to interview withdrew before even sitting down with them. I do not know how many "several" is or how many were originally set to interview.
Is the AD in on the interviews and also in the running? That would be a conflict of interest would it not? Could see where that might turn people off from the job.

With Jacobs being a great QB at EHS, I would have thought he would be a high school coach making a name for himself and not pushing a pencil at PC as the AD.
Hey if hes the guy i would just go ahead and name him and not waste the other guys time. Seems like a waste in that regard. Just thought if he was in on interviews that would be an unfair advantage if it ever was a competition.

Has to be approved by the school board first, if they don't like it, it won't happen.
Well, the question has been answered. Jacob's it is..... who didn't see that coming?
Wait...wasn't he part of the hiring committee?
This is going to be a dumpster fire.

Total crapshow. Multiple guys inquired and backed out before even interviewing because of the writing on the wall. He very well could have been the last guy left, honestly. Yes, Jacobs was leading the interview process. Job will be open again next year once his son graduates. I imagine this will keep him there through the fall, at least.

If he was smart, he would leave PC and get on the coaching staff at El Dorado where his son can actually do more with his talent. Coaching football at Parkers Chapel isn't the greatest move I would make but that's his personal decison and think its best for him and his family. Its a big red flag when guys back out of it before an interview. I'm surpised that Bates is still there, his a job hopper. At one point I remember him being the head coach at Norphlet and next thing I knew he was on the coaching staff at El Dorado. Not sure why he would want to leave El Dorado to go to another smaller school. Maybe those bigger schools aren't made for him. It will be funny if the PC job is open next year. They won't have a chance next year, they will be lucky to win 4 or 5 games. The new DC that he hired, at one point Williford was the head coach at Nettleon in Jonesboro. I remember he was part of the staff at El Dorado.
Bates was raised in PC, graduated there, his mom taught there.... its home for him.
Where did the coach from this year go to? If this has already been answered I apologize in advance.

Lots of inaccuracy in this post. Bates was at Norphlet for a long time. He went to Crossett and has been back at PC for quite some time. To say he's a job hopper is plain wrong. And to my knowledge he only student-taught at EL Do. Don't think Williford is a job hopper either. He's coached a lot in LA where it seems there is much more staff turnover.
Personally I think this staff could be together a long time. On paper I really like it.

No, you are wrong. You can go back and look at the history of the list of coaches that was at El Dorado. Coach Bates was there in 2008 and 2009 I believe. He was not a student teacher. Bates is a job hopper. Williford departed El Dorado for Nettleton which is close to Jonesboro to be their head coach. Not sure how long he was there or where he went after he left Nettleton.
I think the reason why the last coach departed was because Elliot was on the coaching staff. This is why I'm against having AD's playing two roles.

No sir. You are incorrect. I have never been employed by the El Dorado School District. I student taught under Coach Register but didn't have a paid position. I've been coaching for 20 years and worked in 4 districts. I don't consider that job hopping. I normally don't post but didn't want incorrect information floating around.
As for the PC job you are welcome to have your own opinions. I personally think this can be a great job and I think Coach Jacobs is a great fit for the job. I would also like to welcome Coach Willeford to our staff!

Thank you sir. I recently completed a Masters' in Administration and hope to transition into that area when the time and situation are right.
I'm very pleased with the hiring of Coach Jacobs for the job. As crazy as it sounds, I coached him while student teaching at EHS. I'm really showing my age!!!

I wouldn't expect anything less from PC. Find a real program where a "coach" has time to come on a message board and post. Shouldn't you be worried about other issues they have. If you take a quick browse around fearless most programs have a policy where players can't even post let alone coaches. Very unprofessional but again, not surprising.

Most DO NOT. I can ASSURE you of that. They may read.
You're the head coach of Strong
I'm not a coach.

Did you not see where he said he doesn't post normally anymore? He only posted to clear up some questions about his professional career. I guess you missed that part. Pretty crappy to call someone unprofessional don't you think? At least he didn't hide behind a username like most folks on here.
What's wrong with hiding behind a username and living in your moms basement like me?

Pretty unprofessional for a coach to post on fearless....
Coaches do it all the time, some hide behind a name like boogercat or rocky, or boogereater. etc. I think some coaches usually get on here for entertainment purposes because they find what we talk about quite funny.

The only time I've ever avoided posting on FearlessFriday is when ordered not to by my superiors.
During my first three years at Norphlet, Coach Steele ordered none of his staff to post on this board and I of course complied..
Coach Monden at Camden Fairview issued a similar order this last year. I of course complied while I worked there. The lone exception being a thread I started on the 2A board (here) asking if anyone had any or knew anyone who had any Norphlet Yearbooks. I was looking for the ones I don't have for when my daughter attended Norphlet. But I asked for Coach Monden's permission before opening the thread and it was granted.

I can understand why head coaches will do that to their assistants. Last thing a football program needs is some type of backlash on what a coach said on a message board that could damage his career. If a coach uses a message board I don't think they should be using their name as a username that is just me. A lot of people will say, well the coaches that do don't have nothing to hide. Which I agree and I support those coaches that do that but sometimes it can hurt you rather some people see it or not in a negative way. Once you post something it's out there, I think using a different name than your real name would benefit the coach. People won't know who you are unless you make it known.
Bates has posted twice in three years, this is a ridiculous discussion started by someone that's either a total clown or just has a bitter axe to grind.
I'd think a coach using their name would make them more apt to NOT get on here and act like an a** hat....
So what bates responded becuase I opened my mouth on here about him and not everyone is getting but hurt over it. I really did believed he was on the coaching staff at El dorado under Reed. I will apologize.
I'm not going to read through all this... Who got this job?

Wasn't referring to you, I was referring to the poster that called Bates out for replying to you.
