His ability is FINE. KNUTE ROCKNE would not have a better record if he coached what Boggs did. Please- he won more than ANYONE else would have at Walhalla. At Westside he got a raw deal and had NONE of the perks that Earley HAS!
They are deciding today on a coach!

Actually the past few years BEFORE EARLEY- Westside was BAD and the record showed it. The were NOT 9-1 Last year.
Of course it helps when you bring in your coaches, can hire and fire at will, and can GIVE the kids all the NIKE stuff they want. Yeah- the perks were really good! Oh and you recruit a NEW QB as needed!

Pickens needs someone to reunite that community. It used to be a special place, but the mutiny of Tweito and the rise of the current admin have made the community very apathetic. Boggs is a Pickens native and is very well liked in the community. He will have as good a chance as any to bring them all back together. He will also be good at ridding the staff of some bad eggs. He's not afraid to tell someone to hit the road. As far as on the field, he is a good coach, despite the record. Had the misfortune of being at Walhalla when they were moved up to AAA. At Westside, he said many times he thought they were going to be good last season, he just didn't get the chance to coach them because of politics.
As far as who they hire, who knows with this admin. I do know they interviewed a former PHS player who hasn't coached in 5 or 6 years. That says alot to me.

Boggs is the correct hire, we will see if the administration will do the right thing. He is what the flame need. It doesnt that Walhalla moved up to AAA, stayed at AA, or had dropped to A. Not many people will have a winning record there. Coach Pate was the last i remember to get them in the playoffs and even have a shot at beating Seneca.

Is it Boggs?.... what is the word that you have heard? Hope The Flame get a good coach... those boys, that school and the community deserve a quality HC. That town will embrace a winner... just hope the administration does likewise. GO BIG BLUE!
i guess the cat is out of the bag. Congratulations to coach Boggs.

Matt Campbell, VMI Assistant, named AD/Head Football at Lugoff-Elgin. Played at USC and for the Panthers. Seems like a very good hire for L-E. Campbell was one of the finalists at Clinton, so take him out of that one.

Coaching searches in the entire state have become such a FARCE! It is no longer about being a quality, qualified coach.
Schools now hire:
There BuddyThe next YOUNG BUCK stud who is totally unprovenFIRED college coaches who will be gone shortly!RECYCLE
The days of paying your dues as an assistant, coordinator then HC are LONG GONE! 20 years in coaching will now get you a PLAQUE if you joined the SCACA and that is about it.

It seems that many of our in-state coaches are not good enough for the jobs. Why are so many schools going out of state to bring in head coaches? There are plenty of qualified coordinators and HC's in the state.
I think it has to do more with the fact that the hiring parties feel that they make more of a splash if they are able to bring in someone from out-of-state/far away.
I would argue that "the next YOUNG BUCK unproven stud" is rarely a factor, anymore. We argue that the next generation of coaches SHOULD be afforded an opportunity to give it a shot, but recycling is the practice-of-choice.
Plus, considering that list...: Buddy, Young-buck, bad college coach, recycle... What else is left? I agree that the "buddy system" only works in public pools and hiking trails. Bad college coaches: well , that's a toss-up, because who knows why they couldn't make it on the collegiate level. And recycling bad coaches has NEVER made sense to me. But (assuming the GOOD coaches that succeed move up the ranks naturally), who else should schools hire? That really only leaves the young bucks and rolling the dice on coaches that couldn't hang on the college level.
And also, grammar-Nazi: *Their (I'm sorry... this bugged me, and I hate being THAT guy)
