I have not heard the reason the coach was fired immediately but interested if anyone knows whats going on there. Also, if the recent coach did not do something illegal or inappropriate. Why would anyone apply to be the new coach  when they have had numerous coaches over last 4-5 years.

Any FBS school that were to hire him wouldn't be able to recruit Lake Gibson kids for 2 years per NCAA rules. I think they have that DB McClain the UF is high on. I don't think Napier would chance it.

Reading between the lines of the quotes, I gather Barefield may have been half-assing his non-football coaching duties. There was a quote from the AD about needing to do more than coach the games. He likely didn't care to be a high school teacher/coach. He's trying to paint a picture of "I'm just meant to coach at the higher levels". But, this likely also means he didn't really embrace the full duties of his actual, current job.

Why would anyone apply to be the new coach  when they have had numerous coaches over last 4-5 years.  To have the opportunity to take down Lakeland (again) and possibly get over the hurdle and win a state title.  There's plenty of talent in Polk County in which to do so.  

DeMyer wanted to focus on teaching and stepped down. Paxia stepped down to take a dream job coaching at his Alma Mater.  The only question mark (not really) was the departure of the latest coach.  As pointed out by others, it was publicized in the local paper that his non-coaching duties were neglected.  Sounds like he fired himself.  Hardly a smoking gun of a toxic program.

      Wow and that’s the website the FHSAA uses for its rankings? What a crap show. Good luck finding the real schedules. The FHSAA doesn’t do anything to help.    Georgia puts their on their website for all to see. A simple link that has every team and every schedule. One stop shop.    The SSAA isn’t any better. I was trying to update scores from last year and they don’t even have the results from last year. Maxpreps and Scorestream aren’t even reliable either. Crazy that in 2024-25, you can find reputable sites for simple information like high school football schedules and scores

      Made a second pass through Maxpreps for all 576 (11-man teams). Yes, it takes a while.  Here's what I've come up with through this morning: 265 Schedules are complete (assumes 10 game regular season beginning either Week 0 for SSAA or Week 1 for everyone else, unless out of state opponent. 311 Schedules have problems. Here's the breakdown: 218 schedules reflect less than 10 games 88 schedules are impacted by conflicts. ie. Team having more than one opponent on the same day- or- scheduled opponent has more than one opponent on that day. 5 teams have 11 games scheduled. Seems like there's a lot of information to be gathered and rectified over the next few weeks.

      Went to both the Lakeland contest against Woodham and then the Saturday mid-day title game against Southridge the next week. Lakeland had no answer for the superior Woodham team speed on defense in the semi-final game. The next week title contest saw a opening KR for a TD by Woodham's Kerry Watkins to set the tone for this game. Felt Southridge was the more physical team, particularly with its running game. Each time however it appeared that Southridge was about to get back into a position to maybe take a lead, Woodham would find a way to re-establish its lead on the score board. Going up for that game led me, to learning about a super Soph across town at Ecsambia HS....as Escambia was playing ST Pete high thay night for the 3A state title. Woodham and Escambia would oddly enough both play for state titles the next year as well in Bradenton against Manatee and Southeast.
