JCCHS gets new head football coach

Tuesday, January 24. 2012

The Jackson County Board of Education has named a new head football coach for Jackson County Comprehensive High School. Benji Harrison — an offensive coordinator at Flowery Branch High School — was named to the position on Monday, after the BOE held a closed-door meeting for an hour to discuss personnel. The called meeting was announced on Friday afternoon.

Harrison will replace Billy Kirk, who resigned after five season as head football coach of the JCCHS Panthers. Harrison will also be teaching at the school.

I bet this is going to cost JCCHS a pretty penny. And I wonder how long until JCCHS has to lay off teachers to pay this new coach? AND don't get me wrong this guy may be a great coach with a great record BUT if the players suck it don't matter how good the coach is THEY WILL NOT WIN. Then is JCCHS going to fire this coach?

What do you mean about the players not being Good. I bet you or your son isn't out there sweating and busting their butt to play. And we did have a Great Coach in Coach Kirt but we had no control on what decision they made about the coaching change but why don't you go out there and hang with the guys for a week and see how tuff you are. I do have a son out there and they DO NOT SUCK !!!!!!! If you can't say anything good just keep ot to yourself. You're probaly not from JCCHS anyway.

Doodle Bug- You missed the point of my entire post. I never said the players sucked I SAID IF THE PLAYERS SUCK it don't matter how good the coach is they will not win. You can take a coach who won the super bowl and give him a bunch of players that don't know how to play and he will NOT WIN. I think you've been out in the sun sweating to much already? All you read of my post was BUT the players suck you missed that little two letter word after BUT and before the and the word was IF and that little word changed the whole statement. You know like "IF A FROG HAD WINGS HE WOULDN'T BUMP HIS BUTT WHEN HE JUMPED".

Actually, I interpreted your statement the same way Doodle did and I read the whole statement. You did not need to bring up the talent of any athlete to make your point about what it would cost. If you do want to write about cost please found out the salaries of both coaches for comparison. Until you know what they both were making and their job description then you have little to complain about. At this point what is done is done and we all need to support our children and the programs they choose to participate in. Panther Pride!!!

Cecilia- You is do be missing it. What I was talking about is JCCHS wants super bowl quality coaches and if the players ARE NOT up to that level they won't be as good as the coach, YOU,OR Doodle Bug wants them to be. Also they think if they get a great coach with a great record the team is going to win BUT IF the players ain't that good it don't matter who or how good the coach is the team ain't going to win? What I mean is IF the players CAN'T run the plays the plays AIN'T going to work no matter how many time the coach sends the same play in. I'm NOT putting down no one athlete Your child may be the best anyone has ever seen BUT ONE ATHLETE can't win the game it takes the whole team.

Doodle- My point was the cost? And I wonder how long before they have to lay off teachers because they can't afford to pay them because of this new hire?

Hey Doodle, fjcr has comments on other articles. Go read them, they make as much sense as this one, so don't let it get under your skin. fjcr has issues with a lot of stuff in the world. fjcr probably gets up in the morning just to have something to complain about, or least that's what the comments make it look like. I don't know, I could be wrong. IF fjcr didn't have something to complain about, what would fjcr have? Nothing? Yeah, probably? The glass is more than likely half empty, instead of half full? Keep in mind I'm a lazynogoodfornuthin'bum, so what I'm sayin' won't hold water.

@fjcr: the previous coach wasn't getting it done (seemed to be getting worse? Maybe?), so the school hired a new coach.. I would think in hopes of coaching the players to make the plays as a team, no they might not be capable of winning a state championship, like you, but they haven't played for this coach yet, so you really don't know what they are going to do. And last time I checked, unless you are best friends with Mrs. Cleo or Dionne Warwick (which you may be?), you don't know for sure that THEY WILL NOT WIN...I take that back, for all I know you may be the president of your psychic friends network chapter.

btw fjcr...just bet you complained about JCCHS hiring a new principal too? and how much that cost? ...nevermind, forget I mentioned that.

lazynogoodfornuthin'bum- Yes I do have problems and it's stupid idiots like you trying to turn everything I say around. I didn't say they would not win. I never said the players were not no good. What I said was IF. IF the players were not no good then they would not win NO matter if they got a super bowl coach or a first grade kick ball coach? It amazes me how everyone of you missed the same two letter word that changed my whole statement.
YES COST IS AN ISSUE HERE. Because a while back JCCHS was belly aching about not having enough money SO they were going to have to lay off teachers? They layed off teachers then turned around and hired a retired basketball coach. SO I guess he wasn't retired after all? AND since YOU brought it up I wonder how many teachers will have to lose their jobs because of these new hires of a football coach and a principal?
