2016 Head Coaching News

That's hella good!!! Why would it be bad for Jackson?

Well, if I am not mistaken Uncle Luke has been a Def. Coord. for about 5 years between MNW, Central and Norland.  His Defenses have generally done very well.  Head Coaching is a different animal than DC. Lots of responsibilities....it will be interesting.  My guess is Jackson will improve from that 3-6 2015 record ( they were much better than their record though in a tough District).   The District will be much weaker in 2016 and I think Jackson can battle for that #2 spot.  If I am not mistaken Jackson's biggest problem was Defense as well so we'll see.....

AMH will run away with that District with ease. What is left of  Coconut Creek's best players are heading to Deerfield Beach and many of Hallandale's players are heading to Miramar.

Jessie Hester is out at Lake Worth and former Suncoast Coach Micah Mays (former 1997 QB at Palm Beach Lakes who went on to play at Grambling State) has taken over the program.  Ironically, Mays also took over the Suncoast program when Hester was ousted there.

Rumors are circulating in the Miami Herald and USA Today that Miami Jackson may have hired Lakatriona Brunson  whom will be the first female Head Coach in Florida History.   The other talk is that Luther Campbell "Uncle Luke" will be her assistant.   Both publications are emphasizing that nothing is official yet.

 

I smell a Reality TV show around the corner.  The county or FHSSA needs to look into this.  If this is the case, it is not fair for the  kids to take a backseat in their HS Football careers to a damn political correctness movement, or possible reality tv show /media circus act.

Rumors are circulating that Flanagan head Coach Devin Bush will join the Michigan Wolverines in the coming days.  Defensive Coordinator Stanford Samuels is expected to become the Flanagan Head Coach.

 

 Gary Curreri of the  Broward Sun Sentinel  spoke to Coach Bush and Bush refuted reports that a job at Michigan is almost a done deal.

If this is true I am not surprised at all. What I am surprised about that it took this long to finally come out.

[DisabledAccount]

Well I see the strategy here, u bring a tv show so others will transfer knowing they can get more publicity by playing there

I've been hearing about Bush to Michigan for about 2-3 months now on the national board (in between all the barking) so no surprise that is now being reported as a matter of days til it happens.

Flanagan's HC Devin Bush is officially heading to Michigan. Bush started as a DC his son's Frosh year and then inherited an average Flanagan program, which he went on to build  over the next three years as Head Coach.  One thing interesting about Bush is he coached most of his players since they were in youth football.   Very few left, and in fact a couple came Home to Flanagan for their Senior year to try to make something special happen. Bush and Flanagan went on to bring a Public School State Championship back to Broward County after a little drought.  Coach Bush's  Flanagan teams were great to watch, particularly defensively. Usually undersized, physical and yeah- highly penalized...Bush's Dirty Birds to me represented what South Florida football is all about.  Thank you Coach Bush for a great run,  and best of luck to him at Michigan.
