In the 70's I remember it as both football and basketball school.  I know they won a state baseball title a few years back and produced a 1st round draft pick with the Simpson kid.

A friend of my brother's wife's daughter's baby sitter, knows a guy who's wife has a dog groomer, who's son played at Forman, who says that their coach will not be back to Forman next year and he is pushing hard for the Magnolia job.  It must be true.

I have always viewed Magnolia as one of those towns that think they have elite athletes and talent but in reality they are average.  Overall I would expect them to be a conference contender maybe every 3 years or so.  Hope has been a better program than Magnolia.

Magnolia hasn't been good in a long time. Back when El Dorado was struggling, I remember Magnolia beating them. Magnolia is a decent place to if you want a head coaching job. Magnolia fans can't blame Coach Panter on this, his actually is a great coach. The talent level at Magnolia isn't that great and if it was good you would see them winning 7 games a year at most. A coach and only coach what he is provided on the field, if the kids don't want to play they wont play. Coach Panter will enjoy being in Cabot and I'm sure yall will see him again as a head coach somewhere else.

If Hope is hanging on by a thread, what is the case for Magnolia?  Since 2010 Hope has won more games than Magnolia and that includes a Semi-Final and Quarter Final finish.  Hope has the edge in facilities and a native Bobcat leading the program into year 2.  I do believe with the right coach, Magnolia could return to being a respectable program.  Magnolia has great community support and decent facilities-Minus the football field.

Okay you have the two "Agim" years for Hope, then what?...twenty some straight losses, Coach resigns, after several coaches turn down the job you hire an alumni that had been at a school that did less with more as good as anyone in state history, win one game, now what else?  Heard rumors and seen videos online that say school atmosphere is as terrible as it can get....

You can't just erase the Agim years.  Magnolia had a 14 game losing streak and plays a weaker non-conference.  Yes, Hope has some major problems in their school.  Magnolia has great potential.

My understanding is that Magnolia has become a "baseball" town or other sport town.  This is usually the "kiss of death" for a real football program.

Did Magnolia "get rid" of him? Or did he leave on his own? The powers that be at Magnolia may like the system he ran and would be looking for someone that runs the same thing.
Title: Re: Magnolia?

King would be a homerun hire!!!  Just because a coach run a similar offense doesn't mean they run it the same.  If that were the case we would have way more coaches like Kevin Kelly, Rick Jones, Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney etc.  Any other names mentioned?

They need to change the entire culture at Magnolia, start from the ground up. Every little bit helps. Having the interior lineman work out during the summer wearing custom shirts that read "Steel Magnolias" was a pretty big swing and a miss.

Reassignment or get rid of, however you want to say it...and if that is the system they want to run there then more power to them, but someone might want to take a look at what will get the most kids out and give them a chance to build up numbers, a school that size with what they had out is not good

Magnolia did not force him out or gave him a new assignment. He took a new job at Cabot under Coach Reed who he was with at Forrest City and at El Dorado. Before you comment, please know what you are talking about beforehand. Panter is a great coach I doubt that you will see that because you will look at his win and lose record. Panter is at Cabot and has already started on their staff. Reed and Panter is running off-season for Cabot football.

Ok Booger, I guess it's a coincidence or foresight he resigned, before Reed had Cabot job..I'll make sure not to listen to my friends in Magnolia

Mark King - Foreman coach has interviewed. King worked with several of the admin including the superintendent at Magnolia at Horatio. Would be a home run hire for Magnolia.
Title: Re: Magnolia?

Mark King would be a good hire at Magnolia. If kids would buy in, then they will win.
Title: Re: Magnolia?
Post by: Arkansasprofit on January 24, 2019, 12:57:35 pm
If they were to hire Mark King I could see them making a run at a state championship within 3-5 years.  1974 is the last time Magnolia has won a state championship.  His offense would be perfect for Magnolia!!  I hope the powers that be make the right decision!!!

I like to know as well because I want to try it. Mark King will not win a state championship at Magnolia. Only way Magnolia will win state is if they have all the superstars that PA has.
Title: Re: Magnolia?
Post by: Arkansasprofit on January 25, 2019, 08:48:32 am
We will see if that happens.  First he has to get the job, then go from there.  Making a run at  a state championship means your in the semi-finals, or actually playing for a state championship.  If you have no confidence in yourself, your town, or your team I can see why you think that way.  Foreman had never won a state championship, and hadn't won a district championship since 1987 before King arrived.  The last time Magnolia has won a conference championship is 2002.  Before that Magnolia won a conference championship in 71,72,74,77,83, 93, & 94.   Last time Magnolia has won state is 1974 when Roy Green was the big star!

Foreman has had several great players just as good as Batey in the past and did not have any big success. Batey is  stud no doubt about that.  They had the Forbes, Hardwick, Kursh ect.  Foreman has always had athletes and never won conference championships or a State title before King took over.  It takes more than talent to win championships, if you could win on talent alone Ashdown should have won a couple in the last few years.

In 2A if you have one great player around a bunch of good players, you're going to compete with any competent coach.  King is a good coach, this isn't a bash on him, but if Batey was a once in a generation player for Foreman.

5A and up is different.  There are a lot of other factors at Magnolia I'm told that hurt the progress of football.  Maybe a change will help to fix those.
Title: Re: Magnolia?
Post by: Arkansasprofit on January 25, 2019, 11:58:21 am
I remember the year when Petrino left EVERYONE said just keep the same assistant coaches, and the razorbacks will be fine!!!  They had superb talent, and did horrible with John L. Smith.  I know a lot of people look down on 1A and 2A coaches but good thing other people don't listen to that.  Just because a guy has to start at the bottom, doesn't mean he will end up there.  Gus is at Auburn now, and he started coaching at a 2A school.  Coaches have to start somewhere!!!  Whether it's Mark King or whoever, a good coach is a good coach!!  The good ones will win wherever they are at!
Title: Re: Magnolia?
Post by: FootballFever on January 25, 2019, 02:39:15 pm
If someone can coach it doesn't matter what classification they are in.  The State is full of great coaches that started in 2A and have had great success in the larger classifications.  Don Campbell started at Corning,  Bobby Bolding started at Mark Tree, Gus Malzahn started at Hughes, ect.  David Carpenter is a great coach and could have built a championship team at any level.  Clay Totty at Rison is a great coach and would be successful at any classification.  Bottom line if a guy can coach they can win at any level.  Each level has its challenges!!!

Oh so turning around a team that finished 2-8 the year before he came to Osceola into a 11-3 team his first year means nothing? Taking that same team to the semifinals for the first time in almost 10 years? Next season which is his 2nd season he finished 13-2 and take them guys to the state game and also conference champs and shared the conference championship year before means nothing? Don't base one game off what he can do overall. 24-5 in two seasons sounds good to me. No doubt Noles got punished in the state game but don't knock what he has done in two years. That one game doesn't tell me nothing!!

Never said It did.  But when your selecting a head coach, you got to look at the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Sounds like you would choose Hooks, and I would choose King.  We will find out in a week or two if they decided to choose either one of them.  We might both be wrong, or only one of us will be right?  Hooks is a good coach I never said he wasn't.

Lol I don't care about being right or wrong. I'll love for hooks to stay at Osceola but if he leaves I wouldn't be mad. Great opportunity to move up 2 classes. He has done a good job with the Osceola program. Your right I'll pick hooks any day of the week. Your right about the good, the bad and ugly sometimes that doesn't matter.

i don't think Magnolia can go wrong with either Hooks or King.  They are both top notch coaches that can flat out coach.  Both took programs that were down and turned them into winners.  I know both coaches they are both great guys and kids love playing for both of them.  Good luck to the coach that gets the job!

Never said It did.  But when your selecting a head coach, you got to look at the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Sounds like you would choose Hooks, and I would choose King.  We will find out in a week or two if they decided to choose either one of them.  We might both be wrong, or only one of us will be right?  Hooks is a good coach I never said he wasn't.
Osceola would've beat Foreman easy this season. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

King is a good hire for a program like Magnolia people in 5a don't prepare for the flexbone often and it will catch teams off guard and be very effective .. also he will bring discipline too the program . He doesn't put up with crap and it doesn't matter who you are .. I think y'all will be pleased.

Wynne runs flexbone, Magnolia did run flexbone, McClellan runs some flexbone, not sure about the west conference but I do know Vilonia use to run double wing which is similar...so it is ran in 5A and teams do prepare for it

So 3-4 teams out of 30 something 5A teams run a variation of the flexbone...... I would take those odds

Yes out of 32 teams, my point was that there is a team in each conference, so it is prepared for. Not to mention any team they may play in non-conference that runs it. But yes with limited numbers of teams running it, it can cause problems to prepare for still

I don't believe anyone said that Magnolia would be State Champs in 2019.  BC you must have something against King.  I think it's a great hire for Magnolia.  Either of the two finalist would have been a great win for Magnolia.  I think in time King will turn things around and make Magnolia a contender, may not happen overnight but i believe it will happen.

If anyone knew that would find that my post was on the humor side. I guess time will tell if King is a great hire for Magnolia. What happens if he can't fix the issues at Magnolia will he still be a great hire or what? Just like the Jones to El Dorado hire. People say his a great coach but I don't think he will do well there. There are some jobs out there that coaches shouldn't risk on.

You'll have to excuse boogercat.  He hates small school coaches.  He thinks Jones was a bad hire 'cause he's from AA and King is a bad hire 'cause he's from AA.

we should all listen.... he is a self-proclaimed expert.  Even called out another coach about where said coach had been employed and then said it was unprofessional when said coach posted to clear up the confusion.
boogercat is a legend in his own mind.  Just ask him if you don't believe me.

Not knocking either man, just curious because of how fans determine what is a good coach and what isn't.  Why will King do well and Magnolia and Panter didn't.  I read a lot of comments where people are just as sold on how good Panter is.

Apprently folks are very high on King for some reason. I doubt he can win there at Magnolia and turn things around. I would had waited for something better to come up besides going to Magnolia. One of the Little Rock schools would had been better to work with then Magnolia.

boggercat why do think King can't win at Magnolia?  You are right about people posting that Panter is a good coach and indeed he is.  Some people are great coordinators but don't make good head coaches, i feel that this was the case with Panter.  It happens all the time at every level, a guy is a great coordinator but fails as a head coach.  Sometimes it just takes a different personality or approach to reach kids and get them to play to their potential.  Just curious as to why you think he can't win at Magnolia.

How long are you willing to wait and see if he can win at Magnolia? This isn't college, its high school. When was the last time Magnolia made the playoffs and actually did something and had a strong run at least? So Panter is not a good head coach because he failed at Magnolia? Give me a break. It's been a long time since they have won 9 games or more. If you really think King will be the answer for Magnolia and will get them to start winning, you need to tell me where you get your stuff at because I want some too. Some coaches can't win at certain programs for certain reasons. You can only coach what you have on the field. King has jumped from program to program last several years. That itself should be a red-flag for Magnolia. King wont be loyal to Magnolia and will be there for a short time.

So I guess King is responsible for the scheduling of last year?  Just wait and see Magnolia will be turned around.  I guess wherever you coached before you had a lot of bad seasons, and think he will do as bad as you?  How many state championships did Foreman win before King?  When was the last time Foreman won a district Championship before King?  You need to change the light bulb in your head, because I don't think your very bright!!!!

I'm not bright? You are high on something thinking King is going to win something at Magnolia. He will be gone and won't be there long. How long will you give King a chance to win there? Please tell me so I can bring it up again. Do you really believe Magnolia can fight and go against some of the better teams in 5A with King being the head coach? Those teams he was at were in 2A, lot easier to coach those teams than it is in the higher class with more difficulties and challenges.

I think he will win 7-8 games this year, and he will go to the playoffs.  He will get better and better.  The Triple Flex Bone Offense will be perfect for Magnolia.  Either I  will be right or you will be wrong???  We will both know by the 2nd week of November!!!
