Do you think you will win the conference again? I bet some people are happy now homegrown talent will get to play.
I think St. Paul's probably takes the conference. Clinton goes out early in playoffs if they even make it. Hard to produce on offense with no offensive line to block for QB or RB's. QB was probably smart to go with the Coach. Would be running for his life this fall. New Coach whoever it going to be will have his hands full but anything is possible.
Good assessment. I'm with you. To bad he had to relocate his family to South Carolina to play one season of High School football. But Ol well
Would be surprised. Could be another reason the Coach decided to leave but I mean @PackHorses knows where the players live so he should be able to tell us. How many starters are returning? How many Seniors?
QB Mom works at clinton middle school, that sure going be a long drive to work.
From my sources in C-town, he took the QB, the RB, the WR, the DE/TE already. Ones I’ve talked to down that way know this season could be a tough one with 4-5 starters gone.
If everyone stayed Clinton could have came out east. Marlboro might be pretty good next season
Yes I understand that. I am asking if he is related to Mohamed Kaba that attended Clinton for a portion of his high school career. 247sports shows Laurinburg as his hometown but he played at Clinton for a couple of years.
Did the Kaba's stay in Clinton after he graduated?
He was the first of the three D1 recruits (that I am aware of) that ended up in Clinton during Johnson's tenure after beginning their career at another school.
Forgive me for asking, just my inquisitive nature.
That is not true. They did away with insurance for retirees but not their pensions.
I’ll have to get my wife to look into that. She retired 1-1-22 and her understanding was they had stopped the pension for newer teachers. I have her on my insurance but she was told when I retired she could get back on the states insurance and put me on it. I can keep my insurance from work but it’s more expensive to do that.
Surprised theres not much noise about a new hire. Seems like everyone and their mama knew about CJ.
Does seem like that. Finding a replacement after reading all the mess up here may make a new coach hard to find. It would seem Clinton is full of drama and going to be a tough job for whoever is brave enough to take it by the way things have sounded up here.
or maybe all the drama came from the former coach, hearing from people in the know outside these boards is why I stand by my comment on Clinton being better off in the long run without him. Clinton is a great job to get and they will have no trouble getting a great coach to lead their program going forward.
And all that my be true… but had he never interviewed for any jobs he would still be Clintons coach and Clinton would still put up with the so called drama he brings with him … “ he’s flawed but he’s ours”
SOME from this fan base and another going through the same thing have made it painfully obvious how it is "it's not what all you've done for me, it what are you going to do for me next". It's all good while they are at your school and then they leave and they are just the worst.
My friend down there says Clinton is being very patient with their applicants.
Meaning they don’t like what they got so far?
What’s the draw to come to Clinton?

Better tell your friend to tell them to get a move on it. I hear from my friend there is a lot of work to be done. Has your friend mentioned any of the applicants or is your friend not that close to the program?
Great places to eat. Nice complex, loyal fans and plenty Homegrown talent. Several larger cities within an hr of Clinton.
Don't forget they are getting a Starbucks and known for really good bacon around there. Where is this homegrown talent you speak of? Not to long ago up here they claimed Clinton didn't have that anymore. I guess that's why the mention of larger cities within a hr of Clinton.
Not sure how close to the program he is. Usually doesn’t steer me wrong. He has said around a dozen or so applicants. He didn’t mention names.
Was hoping maybe you had heard some names. I would imagine a dozen or so applicants does make the process take longer for sure. Good thing they are being patient.
Twenty plus applicants so far and is open through the weekend. Not going to name drop but some good candidates have applied.
I really didn’t mean a hit on Clinton. Back through the 90’s and 2000’s Clinton area was packed with athletes in all sports. I was in my 30’s, early 40’s. I played a lot of tennis in Clinton became friends with several teachers, coaches, ast. Principal and several business owners. They developed their talent as a community. Through those years, the Darkhorses were the best in east in football. Really good support throughout Clinton in all sports. Old school ! Develope your talent. Develope all kids using sports as a platform not just a few that has the talent for the next level.
Agree with your assessment. Clinton recreation department was a big factor in developing and cultivating the talent during that era. Volunteer coaches were top notch. More difficult to find the commitment from volunteer coaches today. I think the recreation football program fell off some and needs to be a priority going forward. There will be some growing pains this upcoming year but community support will never waver.
