Porter has won at schools that aren't even football schools. I live in Simpsonville, it ain't no Greenwood where athletes are just running around the community. He is creative, a heck of a motivator; and he can connect with any kid. Doesn't matter what their background is. He won a title at a school that's never done it and never was going to without a special coach. May I add that it has no true football support. My kids went there. Porter before Nickles and Liner for me, but I'd take Nickles over Liner.ManigoEra wrote:If it ain't Cathcart, then choose Nickles. He's the most consistent winner. I like Liner and Porter but Nickles is way more consistent. I'm just worried he'll want to retire soon. Then the program will be in the same boat it is now. We don't need to be a program constantly looking for another coach. We're too good for that.
Well.... Porter had a that one ballen team for Hillcrest. But after that......hmmmm.... But you know, he'd be better than pippin so we'll see. As long as the program doesn't regress I'm good.
Porter won the big 16 at a school that doesn't win. Can't take that away from him.
