Starkville HS football coach Jamie Mitchell has accepted the same position at North Little Rock High School, according to Mississippi TV station WCBI.  Mitchell was 51-17.  His Starkville teams won a title in 2012, were runner ups in 2011, and cracked the national top 10 in 2014.

Yep I just saw this on my Google news reader.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

I don't know.  We had a few NLR players going out of state already, but I hope you are right.

Well, that and the ADG tweeted it out yesterday afternoon. It's not official until the school board approves it on Thursday night. He was the third choice, if you believe the rumors.

It just seems to me that after all the uproar at NLR with college recruits, this guy would be smart to remember what state he's in.  If he starts sending his studs to Missteak, he will be less popular than Petrino with some folks in state.

I forgot how many players Bolding was sending up here?  If he is a good coach maybe he can help develop some D-1 level talent.  Then we can worry about where those players go.  If they visit Starkville then Fayetteville I'm confident they will still choose Fayetteville.

That would create another all night long appeal.  Not a fire-able cause

Oh I don't mean fired by the district.  I'm just saying if it starts looking like more shenanigans are going on at NLR, the public outcry would likely be enough for any coach to leave.  Anyone taking that job has to realize at this point they will be under a microscope.

Just saw the remodel of the high school and football stadium. That will be one nice place to play football though.

The AD for NLR is about as smart as a brick. I have no idea how he still has a job. The AAA wasn't even looking at NLR when he drove to their offices and handed them a hand written note saying that NLR was vacating wins. And as a caveat, he decided to throw in a Bball state championship too.
The 7th grade fb teams will play a total of 2-15 minute periods in one jamboree this next year because he can't return phone calls or work with his coaches.
At least this is what I have heard from some folks that would know.
But Go Cats!
How stupid a man is depends on where he's standing.

He is a Miss State grad.....

This doesn't sound ideal for us. Believe he has lived & coached in Mississippi, most or all, his life. Graduated from Miss. St, & has been coaching high school in Starkville.  He certainly has connections down there.  Would not be surprising for him to talk up Miss. St. to his players in NLR.  Hope our coaches can establish a good relationship with him immediately.

He wasn't any smarter before getting the AD job either. 

Bolding took down the new coaches HR boss too I beiieve.  A few internal heads rolled shortly after the hearing other than Boldings, the AD should have been on that list

Will his late hiring negatively affect NLR's recruiting?
