Just a thought about who should be Alcorn's Next Head Football Coach.





I Think L.C Cole would be a great choice. He has won in the OVC and SWAC. I can see Alcorn in the SCG real soon, without going through Indiana. Just thought I'd add that for the haters.
 
Re: Pete Richardson

Pete....Hmmmm. You know something, he would be good. BUT, realize that Mark Orlando (offensive coordinator) and Terrance Graves (defensive coordinator) were his main two assistants. I have always believed that Pete still had a good 1-3 good years left in him and that SU firing him the way they did only makes him want to coach even more. When you are away from football for a while and you really love it, that hunger builds up. And really :lol: those Jaguars would literally be "scared to death" if Pete coached another SWAC team. Just think, Pete vs. Stump in Mumford in 2011. Baton Rouge would be Hell on Earth that day :lmao:.

But back to your suggestion, Pete...I would give him a call. But I would prefer Orlando as head coach and Pete as an assistant. Maybe they can bring that chemistry that was successful for so many years to Alcorn. As for defensive coordinator, hire Darren Hayes from JSU. However, someone will have to tell Hayes to stop running that two safety set and send the house when necessary. Stump burned Hayes bad when he made the adjustment of going to an offensive set of Bunch Trips (To those who do not know football terms, Bunch Trips is when three WRs are on the same side in very close proximity, like a triangle almost.) You can have bunch trips or Spread Trips. Just remember that Trips means 3 WRs on the same side.
 
Re: Pete Richardson

Honestly Brave10,

I do not see Spears leaving Barlow especially after making it to the SWAC Championship game.

As for Anthony Jones, I believe one poster has stated that he received a $20,000 raise so forget him.

I really, really, want Mark Orlando to come to Alcorn and be HC. SU didn't give him the opportunity after Pete was abrutly removed and he has proven his worth in the SWAC.
 
Re: Pete Richardson

I refuse to accept the hiring of Anthony Jones and his philosophy of "Run the Football and Run it Some More". Alcorn needs a Head Coach who believes in the Mentality of Toughness and the Philosophy of Offensive Explosiveness.

Spears would be the HNIC, why wouldn't he leave Bama State? I think he would go back to Alcorn. He graduated from there also, i'm sure he would go unless the pay was pathetic.

That's Melvin Spears. lol
 
Re: Pete Richardson

I thought you were a jag? Man I rather Melvin Spears???????? smh proof

^^^^^see what I'm talking about...:lmao: Just the very thought of Pete coaching an opposing SWAC team against SU will start Hell on Earth in Baton Rouge. The Jaguar Nation would officially be divided if Pete beat Stump on that date.

The thing I didn't like about Spears happened at the end of the JSU vs. Alabama State game this past year. You are going to win the game, take the knee. Don't run no plays and risk getting a fumble. But I'm not naive to say Spears did it by himself when he was at Grambling. Having a player of Bruce Eugene's caliber really, really, makes you as a coach look good. Spears can stay with Barlow if he wants.

Read the second quote, that's why I said it. I'm still a jag but, I also think everybody want to go home again.

This would be my ideal coaching staff for Alcorn in 2011:

Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator: Mark Orlando OR Pete as HC and Orlando as OC
WRs Coach: Eric Dooley (I believe that if Pete or Orlando coach, He will leave SU)
RBs Coach: Shawn Gregory
OL Coach: Cedric Pearl
QBs Coach: Michael Armour

Defensive Coordinator: Darren Hayes
Defensive Line Coach: (To Be Determined)
Secondary Coach: Calvin Greene (Secondary Coach at Co-Lin and Alcorn Alum)
LBs Coach: LC Cole
 
Re: Pete Richardson

Well Here Is why I picked Cole.

Coach L.C. Cole has a career in coaching that spans more than twenty-six years and includes positions as head coach for three seasons at Alabama State University and four years at Tennessee State University; assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Lane College, Concordia University – St. Paul; and Morgan State University. He served as assistant head coach at the University of Cincinnati; He also has seven years of experience at five universities: Eastern Michigan, University of Toledo, University of Wisconsin, Kansas State University, Ball State University, and New Mexico State University.

While at ASU, in 2000 the team shared the SWAC’s South West Division Championship and won the division championship in 2001.

Cole has an outstanding record of achievement. While at Tennessee State University, the only HBCU in the Ohio Valley Conference, the football team earned back-to-back conference championships in 1998 and 1999. In 1999 TSU was the only undefeated Division 1-AA team at the conclusion of the regular season. TSU had the second longest regular season winning streak (20-0), and impressive defensive stats – first in passing, second in rushing and fourth in total defense.
Cole was named the Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 1998 and 1999, and the 1998-99 GTE Regional Coach of the Year. In 1999 he was also named the American Football Coach’s Division 1-AA National Coach of the Year, Street & Smith’s Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year and TeamLink.Com’s Division 1-AA National Coach of the Year. In 1998 he was the recipient of the Pig Skin Club’s John W. Posey Award, the Rutherford Spirit Award and the Lester “Brute” Hayes Athletic Award.
In addition to the impressive stats on the field, while at Tennessee State Cole was successful in increasing the graduation rate among his student-athletes. During his tenure the graduation rate increased from 17% – 98%.
Cole played strong safety for the New York Jets. At the college level he was recognized with numerous awards and honors including Player of the Week, AFA First-Team Outside Linebacker and All-Big Eight Team Defensive End.
Cole graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education.

To be honest with you, LC Cole is my second candidate of choice behind Mark Orlando.

Of course, I believe in winning championships and beating EVERY SWAC TEAM but to those Alcornites who still feel that beating JSU equals a good season, (the name LC Cole isn't very well liked in Jackson. Who scores 58 points on Homecoming and still gets beat...:lol:)

BUT TO ME, Mark Orlando should be #1 on our list.
 
Re: Pete Richardson

I like Pete Richardson.... I think Alcorn has some good players and they need a head coach with a track record.. Pete is dangerous because he may have something to prove... Im sure he would love to stick it to Southern a few times b4 he hangs it up.. Or Bring in Orlando with Pete as the DC... But u better jump on Orlando fast because I have heard that Northern at PV has called him to come and open up[ the PVAMU offense...

If u bring in Brother Cole then he is going to need a GREAT Offensive Coordinator to match his blitz happy go for broke 3-4 defense...

If you can get Cole and Spears together then it would be on and poppin....

I still like Charles Coe... Where is he at...
