More of Mallard Creek being down, along with new staff. Hough the same team, they’ve been the last couple of years. Hough’s a good team. I believe they’ll have numerous problems with Vance though.Was Hough that good or Mallard Creek down this year?
MC is intriguing because excluding their first year or so they have always been really good. Power shifts throughout Mecklenburg. West Charlotte was a powerhouse, then Independence then Butler. The difference is those programs started having losing seasons and fell completely off. Butler although not as powerful is usually 9-3 or 8-4 for down year which is impressive. I want to see if MC will be more like Butler or Indy/WC.
A ton of talent in the pipeline but in these days it can all change quickly. Start getting beat badly and the talent will just move and usually to one of your rivals. Again, its a very tough year to gauge anything. My gut tells me this is a two loss team even with Palmieri as HC but that is just conjecture.
First things first= Weight Room. This team just doesnt LOOK like a Creek squad. Next step is physicality which is a mentality and culture driven. They have always been a physical defensive football team but really havent truly run the rock against good teams since 2017 and havent had a real D1 type RB since 2013.
Not a lot of Seniors on this Squad. 2 of the D1 players Elijah Metcalf (Middle Tenn) Coleman Jeffcoat (Temple) both opted out early. They're currently on campus at their perspective schools. With 2, D1 kids decided to stay. That's about it. On the bright side, the team is loaded with FBS kids that are currently 11th & 10th graders. The difficult part, is keeping kids on campus. If the New Coaching staff can convince parents to stick around. They'll be a tough out for anyone next year. If not? Oh! Oh! Mike Palmieri's a tough act to follow.They definitely don’t appear to have the same level of talent that they have had in the past at MC. Do they have any players with D1 offers?

Seeing the highlights and MC doesn’t look like previous teams. It will be interesting to see what type of non conference schedule MC will have next season. MC will play anybody but with a tough conference schedule perhaps they will dial it back. MC had a tough time scheduling in Charlotte in the past so hopefully that opens up. For a while it was usually Butler.

They have Soutpointe/ROck Hill next year.
I said I b4...not keeping any of Palmieri staff on kind of confused me. I know Tinsley wanted a new start but damn one of the most successful coaches in the last CPL decades in the state why not keep on a lot of the staff. Me personally I would of hired Stone as the head...tried to keep everything else in place. I know creek is our rival but I knew a lot of kids and parents that went there and admired a lot of what theyve done. I'm not optimistic about Tinsley because of this rocky start.
That would be a negative. They did not.I'm pretty sure that they kept people from the previous staff on in key positions.
Man I really liked Stone..I was sad when he left from over here and went to Creek. I felt like that was the perfect transition from Palmieri to him. He would have kept the same Toughness and physicality but would have added his own touch. That dude will get his HC job one day....maybe if Tinsley isn't successful?????That would be a negative. They did not.
That would be a negative. They did not.
I don’t believe he has the input from the previous year. Hellams’s is 100% Air Raid. Not a lot of passing going on with the CreekLooks like Hellams is the OC. He was on staff in 2019 before the coaching change from what I can tell.
Robert Hellams

Kinda reminds me of the jimmy johnson/jimmy jones dallas situation. The head wants to make a point now that the winning coach is gone.Ah, I see. So it seems as though the the staff members may be there, but not having much impact on the direction of the program. Thanks for the info.
I'm still shocked he still hasnt been hired as a HC! He has proven he is a great OCHellams is money imo
He was offered the HC position at North Meck job and turned it down.I'm still shocked he still hasnt been hired as a HC! He has proven he is a great OC
There are many job he has also been told he isn’t for them soHe was offered the HC position at North Meck job and turned it down.
I don't know all the ins and outs of what happened...things jus doesn't seem right...I'll blame the coaching change happening during a pandemic, I'll have to admit those reasons are legit so imma give it an off-season with the weight room and workouts to see what happens. I don't care what they say a great Creek helped the the imeck out...where else can u get a deep playoff matchup in conference every yr???Funny, everyone is in love with Stone. Been around awhile, lot of Meck County openings. Any thoughts on why he wasn't offered any of the dozen openings previous to MC??
One other thought.....You think Palmieri suggested Stone or LJ?? Think before you answer.
Tinsley gets a full year to get it rolling but I loved a local guy who I think would have been a game changer. Got a little edge to him like Brand. Never got an interview......maybe next time.
Hellam's is 100% Air Raid guy. We threw the ball about 9 to 10 times a game. His offensive impact this year, was a minimum at best. The reason why? who knows. The writing was on the wall.How will this impact the Creek?
So are you saying he wasnt good or just didnt fit in the new coaching staff?Hellam's is 100% Air Raid guy. We threw the ball about 9 to 10 times a game. His offensive impact this year, was a minimum at best. The reason why? who knows. The writing was on the wall.
I believe he’s one of the best Air Raid guys out there, and it’s evident the new staff was not sold on the Air Raid.So are you saying he wasnt good or just didnt fit in the new coaching staff?
I wish Mooresville would gave him a chance but again main in NC didnt so im not shocked he went back to SCI believe he’s one of the best Air Raid guys out there, and it’s evident the new staff was not sold on the Air Raid.
