To me its very simple to get success at Clay County.

1. Have two 8th grade teams and two 7th grade teams (Team A and Team B for both classes) This would allow more kids to play and fall in love with the sport. Even though I love to win, it really doesn't matter for the overall picture.

2. Make freshman and JV a priority. I understand that many times these young players need to be hitting dummies for the Varsity because of the low numbers but that only hurts you later on. Make these young players know they are special!!

3. Play simple football but do it Right!!! run the football and play great defense. Also, we have to put time and effort into our special teams. Clay County has always been a joke on special teams. ITS a THIRD OF THE GAME!!!!!

4. Clay County needs good quality grade school coaches. We have a few but some our outright JOKES!!!

5. Encourage your players to play multiple sports!

6. Have an IN-school weight lifting class. If they get their lifting done at school.... Encourage them to go out and get jobs. I'm sure many of these young men see laziness at home but change their minds about that.

7. We have to have our coaches at the School!! How can we lead these young men if we do not work there?? Be seen! Grade checks! Let these students especially the young men know YOU CARE!!

8. KILL philosophy = Keep it Likeable and learn able and the KISS philosophy = Keep it Simple Stupid.

9. Up-date the weight room for all the team sports!

In my humble opinion and you know what they say about opinions: this is your recipe for success at Clay County.

When can you start? Sounds good on paper. I have heard that combs has been looking at other jobs and as alluded to by some other posters he may not be back next year. I would like to have a coach that is fully committed to being a tiger. From what I hear, Combs has a lot going on and I don't know if he can put in the time it takes be successful at this point in time.
