Rick Jones-ADG

[ricepig]

Jones was the chosen person for this week's High Profile society page. It was a nice article on his life and steps along the way in his coaching progression. He appears to have a little more humility than the average GW poster on here, haha.

You're just begging TT to drop back by these parts, aren't you Ricepig?

[PrivateLesson]

This was a great article on a great man and Coach.      I wish TT and the others would return to Fearless.   

[PrivateLesson]

I guess they could be on Fearless.....they could be "hidden" along with a few other known posters.

Agreed, Rick Jones is one heck of a coach and person. I can't wait to see how the next few years at Greenwood turn out for him for sure.

Has he started paying his own insurance premiums yet?

[bulldogger15]

I'm not sure about the insurance premium, but I do believe they've started to design the mold for the large bronze statue of Coach Jones in front of the stadium! GO BULLDOGS!

I can believe it.  That place is stupid enough to do it.

Visited a number of times in Greenwood. Some, but not as many in Wynne. Found both places to represent small town America well. Few such communities have the rich high school football tradition of both. Then there are posters from both that show their ignorance and lack of Class - So sad!

Didn't he leave to take a College OC job??

Yeah, administration offered him the job but the board voted it down...so he's still in Gwood

Huh..??..??

[bulldogger15]

Jones should be in GW for the foreseeable future. Tons of talent coming up and a much better QB situation through 2020. 2018 or 2019 would be my guess for him to exit. We'll see...

Reason was they wanted someone who could teach a QB to take a snap from under center.

Is this why Hill came to Wynne, so they could learn the forward pass?

Sort of, but he figured out that the talent base was hard nosed, so he still primarily ran the ball.

If your kids are soft and weak, by all means, pass the ball and look pretty.  Jones knows what he has to work with.

[bulldogger15]

Tough hard working kids have always been the MO at Greenwood. Passing, running or both takes "hard nosed" types to stay on top. Greenwood's domination over the years isn't because they "look pretty". Maybe the game has changed and I haven't. Add that to the list.

Inflated by a lopsided score in Hill's first year.

We all remember the one point game in 2005...with a touchdown that was handed to Gwd via officiating.

I do remember a non-call against Lucas Miller in 2004 on a 2 point conversion that assured Wynne of the title that year and prevented a possible OT. This after we LET you score to get another possession and went the length of the field in a short time frame with a bunch of "pansies" that weren't even supposed to be there that year.

That 2005 game was where? @ Wynne right?
Home cooking doesn't add up there for GW, honestly. Do most visitors get the home cooking? That was also a game in which the  aforementioned "forward pass" was intercepted right?
It's a good excuse but probably had chance to win the game beyond just one call (ie. run instead of pass) and didn't get it done at HOME against a bunch of "sissy boys" so officiating is a convenient excuse.

Wynne got thumped in 2011, no calls decided this one either way. It was an old fashioned boat race behind the GW "Nail Salon"- "tough" teams have woodsheds, "sissy boy" teams have nail salons.

[Uncle Ivan]

There was no non call in 2004, but there was a * third down PI call with the ball ten feet over the WR's head in 2005.  I also recall hanging half a hundred in 2001, do you?

Tell me, when will Greenwood start fudging its enrollment numbers to drop back down?

Even though it'd be a bad idea.  Play us again and 45-7 would look like a scrimmage.

I thought we were talking about the Rick Jones era not Harv Welch...there is a sleight difference. After all, Jones seems to be the one you have the biggest issues with and his style, etc. Why's that? I just think you have a big ole case of red butt and "p-enis envy".

Tell me again, when Wynne might capture another title? It's been awhile...

Delta Razor, why wish for another game and another excuse as to why you lost to a team of "sissy boys" ?

Rick Jones and Greenwood have reloaded. The QB situation has been cured for the next 3 to 4 years and GW will make many more runs for the title in whichever classification they're in. We could scrimmage Wynne if we wanted to digress; however, I think it's better to warm up against teams like Fayetteville. Just one mans opinion...

Wynne who? Wynne Whiners, Wynne Wimps, Wynne somebody cares... GO BULLDOGS!

[PrivateLesson]

Ummmm.....I'm a huge Greenwood fan but Wynne isn't a pushover team..just a girls opinion.
