Id like to see page come back and run guilford…..any transfers? Enthusiasm is great but great players win. When I watched that Grimsley vs page game the talent difference was not close
I agree....don't know if he is an X and o's kinda guy. Grimsley even got exposed coaching wise vs weddington imo
I agree and I only know one assistant and thats summers....he is not x and o savy LOL
I literally have no clue what you're talking about. It sounds like you know a lot more than I do. The only guy who I heard is on his staff is Summers. Why don't you tell me?
Also, they ran a middle school offense when they won the state title in 2011 he was just a heck of a athelete surrounded by a group of good athletes. everyone knows that the defense won that title for them....Norman Weeks ain't no joke.
That tells me very little to back up your argument. You have zero clue what he did while at ECU, in the NFL, and in his semi-pro career... or what he does in his spare time. youre just assuming based off what he did in high school? come on man.
You're, from what I gather, a fan/alum of Northwest. Why would you want Page to " run " Guilford County ?
They beat a very loaded Butler and Mallard Creek, back to back that year in the playoffs. Both teams were loaded with way more talent than Page. Coaching was on point.
Couldn’t agree more!! I was at the mallard creek game…..I think they ran into Richmond county as well
I attended the game also. I ran out of breath talking smack to the Page fans. I ate crow all the way back to Charlotte. 😂😂😂
Coach Kirby was friends with my grandpa and was a super class act……also met Frank starling and ken Paige and both were super guys….I know they are long gone but I still have a lil pirate in me. Also, my dad told me stories of traveling around watching page in the 80,s when Dunn, Ellis, welborne, moving Marvin Johnson and others were playing….page is a special place
We can sometime under estimate the mentorship when it comes to coaching. X and O's is not everything that it seems to be. In 2005 we scrimmage Southern Durham and they were in Power I and had 8 d-1 kids. They did not win it! So, sometimes its the right fit for who can rally the troops. If you can't keep the kids, you will turn the tide.
I can answer that one for you. Administration have a job to do. Please understand that first, the kids is the most important thing for any school. My buddy at Millbrook got that job and first thing that I told him was to trust no one! Page is the same type of job for coaches who will play for position AKA( jocking for position). Think of like this, you can't hire everyone one want because you have coaches that are teaching in the building so the hire makes sense. Every school is a victim of their availability. Some people can interview well don't mean that they fit the culture. Although we talk about experience that is not always the case. I have seen some coaches with less experience get jobs and because the schools pedigree they look like genius's. I truly believe that this is a situation that they understand and when someone is connected to the community, it is a hard push not to make the decision that means that it looks negative for the program. I my other post I stated that the mentorship is underestimated. If or when coach Hann gets the kids from the middle schools in three years then you can say that this was a questionable hire or not. Every Coach has to start somewhere. Nick Saban wasn't the coach that he was without the trial and error. Every program goes through it! If I can give Coach Hann any advise, I would tell him that he will be only as good as his assistant coaches. Don't be afraid to get rid of any coaches that can't handle the expectations and don't hire your friend.
I watched that game. Now to be fair to Page they were not respected at all. Page was very good on defense. They were average on offense. Summers was the difference maker. Mallard Creek had a at best average offense and to be honest under achieved with that team. That coach went on to start his legacy and Butler in my opinion that year was the better team but once again sometimes being styles makes fights. Butler had the number 1 or 2 QB in the country at the time. I say all that so say this, when the talent levels is some what the same or equal the decision of the coaching does play a part but only a small percent. Kids still have to play and that is facts! The other facts are staffs are not coaching together like they did back them either. If I could say right now whoever puts together a super staff just like those older days, we would see that same results!
That average offense averaged almost 50 points a game,13-0 going into that game, along with one of the best OC’s to ever come through Charlotte. (Aaron Brand) Defense allowed 9.6 points a game. They also beat Butler that year. School was only 4 years old. Page was well coached and very prepared. Page staff did an outstanding job.
You are correct, I was offered a huge job in GA, and the pay is great! What that don't tell you about GA is the pay is good but so is the blame. My friend G is great coach and he will go down in the history books. I consider myself one of the elite OC's if you are talking about 50 points a game. I did that at Andrews high school which is still the record till this day. I also have a Ring so I do understand the pay and how everything is weighed. I will say that being on the college level is better but I miss the high schools. SC is also a hot-bed for coaching too but no matter what the school the fit must be right.
