So who are the candidates to replace Dunn at Pineville?

Well for a quick hire they probably will hire within. Darin Moore has head coach experience. Dayne Reeves is a quality coach. The list goes on and on with their assistants.

Why would you hire from within? They have been a little better than average on offense and terrible on defense the last two years. That's like opening the refrigerator and taking out the milk and smelling it and it's sour, and you put it back in the refrigerator and say "Maybe it'll be better tomorrow."
Pineville is not physical at all. Offensively they only moved the ball when the passing game worked. No run game. Defensively they have been Swiss cheese the last two years. No physicality.
Carpenter needs to forget the big home run hire that he thought he had when he brought in Dunn. He needs to get a dependable proven guy with a track record of having physical teams and being successful. I'm not sure anyone in Cenla fits that description outside Dunbar at Marksville and I doubt he'd be interested. Hallman would have probably been interested 3-4 years ago but I hear he's ready to hang it up and enjoy his life. Beyond that, Pineville will have to go outside Cenla to find their guy.
Just a thought but the most consistent program in the area the last 4 years has been Jena. Would that guy be interested ? I think he's from LaSalle Parish. Not sure he'd leave home. Those guys are clearly doing something right.
Throw some names out there folks.

Dunbar’s coaching style might not jive too well with that Baptist community 😆

They basically have 4 guaranteed losses (WM, Ouachita, Ruston, ASH) a year even if their program was at 100% of its potential

It may be hard to lure him away from Tioga but Coach Cook has done well since taking over there.

I would imagine this is going to be a hard job to fill. Ruston ouachita ash and West Monroe in the district makes it a place where winning 7 games may be a challenge every year.

They’re going to have to be unconventional and get a guy with a background in a power run offense/solid defense to at least keep games close by grinding out the clock. Especially with the new 40 second play clock. A pass-first, finesse offense will get you killed against athletically superior teams.

Pineville NEEDS to go after Hallman at Grant!

Pineville NEEDS to go after Hallman at Grant! They can go after him but I have heard from several directions that Hallman is about ready to pack it up and retire. His wife is close to retirement. In fact it may be this May. He has several grandkids that play ball and other sports and he likes to be able to watch them. Pineville would have to offer him an amazing package of responsibilities and perks to get any interest I think . I feel like he'd like a chance to go out with a couple of good seasons to remove the stigma of his time at Grant but not sure he wants to start new with a district that includes WM, ASH, Ouachita and Ruston. I think the man is bumping 65. Would he have the energy to take that on? Could he succeed? We'll see. Bigger question is would Carpenter even go after him?

After hearing Hallman on the radio on Friday nights on the cenla scoreboard show I get the same impression that he is ready to hang it up and retire.

Not sure what Pineville is waiting on. This is a done deal. Principal should go ahead and make this public so they can move on. Dunn should have told the kids the week before the break.
Dunbar is best choice for Pineville. If he is interested. This is a tough district with a lot of really bad losses for a really long time. Dunbar might prefer having a chance to win.
Hallman not a good fit. Cannot play at that level with 24 kids. Hasn’t worked real well for him at Grant either.

What has held the pineville football program back? Their district, Ash getting the football players in the parish, and they are in Cenla.

Pineville has no idea how to play defense and for the last two years they’ve run a speed offense based on finesse. Sooner or later you have to actually physically whip someone.

Well he won at Menard, Bunkie, and even Lakeview. It’s Grant. And didn’t he beat Pineville two years ago with 24 players. Don’t matter how many players you have. You can have 60 players with no heart. Just look at Menard they haven’t done anything since he left but they do have more players out but hey I guess that’s what it takes to win more players.

So what was Dunn excuse for not winning. I mean look what his history is. Had like 100 kids dressed out did that help him. I would take 15 players who want to go to war over 60 who don’t care at all.

Tough to do that in 5A Hallman is a friend of mine so I can’t read this without going to bat for the guy. It doesn’t matter who the HC is at Grant - they don’t care about football so their numbers will always be low. That’s not a Hallman issue, that’s a Grant issue. Look at how bad they have always been with the same low numbers every year. If it did work out for him at Pineville, I guarantee you they’ll be tougher.

I believe a lot of the athletes grant should have don’t have a way to get back and forth from practice. If they had some of the athletes that lived in Colfax playing they would be better imo.

Another name: Justin Webb Head coach at Northwood. He has been an assistant at LC and Tioga. Good young coach who would be there for a while.
