BREAKING NEWS: Marshall's Pickens relieved of duties

I like this data shown and it has given me some sort of desire to succeed for some reason, so keep up the good work.

Hey, at any time have the option to shoot me an e-mail. I understand that BE is producing some large changes to their operation and as a fellow BE blogmaster I was curious to know should significantly you've heard anything about it.

Thanks guys for the input, we needed that....

Just wanted to share a link that might help the readers here. Thanks...

I would like to start my own blog one day. This was a really nice blog that you made here. Keep up the success :P

Nice blog here! Also your website loads up fast! What host are you using? I wish my website loaded up as fast as yours lol

Thanks for sharing such useful information.

Well, I don¡¯t know if that¡¯s going to work for me, but definitely worked for you! Great post!

you have your way with words don't you

Your blog was very well done. Can't wait to read another.

Your blog was very well done. Can't wait to read another.

So many wonderful post. I love the succulents mixed in the non-succulents. Great pics!

Fantastic blog! I dont think Ive seen all the angles of this subject the way youve pointed them out. Youre a true star, a rock star man. Youve got so much to say and know so much about the subject that I think you should just teach a class about it...HaHa!

There are probably many factors why you were hooked by the blog.

All new to me; I wasn't aware of the many ripples and depth to the story until I surfed here through Yahoo! Great job.

There are hundreds of blogs out there that are experiencing great success in terms of receiving large amounts of repeated traffic.

Yep! I was then the maid and the mom. Can I rise to the challenge and pass my motherhood exam without help? I was in and out of their pictures. I would go to them only when I felt like, but not when they needed me.

But again, you need to put in extra time and patience on this. Give them immediate feedback - kids have rather short memory. So, what went wrong? I am the mom, my husband is the father.

Every time I read a really good blog post I go ahead and do a few things:

1.Share it with the relevant friends.

2.Bookmark it in all of the best bookmarking websites.

3.Be sure to visit the website where I first read the article.

After reading this post I am really thinking of doing all 3...

Something so does not leave anything

Very nice read, some great points were made. (This isn't some stupid spam reply either, I'm a real follower.)

pickens is a straight up liar i put in all this work in practice nd he promised the team if you work hard you will get on the field.I would only play wen it was 30 seconds left in the game dats BS I HATE coaches like him

I hope we are not talking about johnny Lopez who was Fired at Eagle Rock and Marshall.This guy is a walking time Bomb. He was let go By Gustin after the second game of the season a few years ago. I heard he was not allowed to work with High School kids.He was fired at Marshall for several reasons that he could not finish the season.He got in a fight with one of his own players,and was caught gambling behind the football field, what a joke of an individual, He made front news at the Daily News for getting beat up by his own players at Eagle Rock and how do go out on stress leave. I would be very concern to have my child around that man.

to observer I have gone to some marshall games and yes there is a coach that runs the pregame and directs the coaches and runs practice after school while pickens sat back and watched or talked on his phone. the kids call him coach Lopez he gets along with all the kids from middle school to high school he has worked at the school for a few years, my son is looking forward playing for him or the program if he is still around. my daughter played basketball for him and he was great.All his teams love him. My daughter told me that he was a head coach of a team in LA last year. Coach Lopez decided to help marshall because his son was going to play. glad pickens is gone Lopez should of got the head coach job.

my son goes to marshall and is in middle school, sometime I use the track and sit in my car and wait for my son. Mr. pickens was never at practice ,and from what my son says he ran off several kids from the program. marshall had a JV team for poly and the team beat poly. but after poly they all seemed to walk away. also during the spring and summer,up to now their was a latin looking coach which was running all the pratices and having those kids moving and working hard. for a while I thought he was the head coach until I was told that Mr. Pickens was the head coach. I know that this coach is still on the field coaching and it is not coach ford. My son also told me that this coach also has been a head coach at anouther school in the past and coaches the middle school girls basketball team. I dont know his name but why didnt he get the job I wish I remebered his name, I have to ask my son.

How did he get the job in the first place? They should have hired Chris Long the Head Coach @ Hoover when they had a chance to.

Very sad situation for all concerned at Marshall and PUSD. You'd think a school with over 1,000 students could support a strong team. They cancelled the JV game with Maranatha that was suppose to be played tonight because they don't have enough players.

LOL Viking fan, some things don't change.

I'm just sayin'

You're still not agreeing with me. that's someone different posting under my name. I don't know Pickens and have no opinion on this matter.

Eagle fan I personally asked Miller and Gustin a few time to get some help concerning this program 3 years ago as it was apparent they had no clue what they were doing. They acted as though they could care less about the program or the player so now you have this. When you have people making decisions who think they know what they are doing but don't know and refuse to get help you end up with one of the worst sports program around. They were told this would happen but just didn't care.

From a former Marshall Player, Pickens was the worst ever, its nice to be gone and have a real coach in college. I hate what has happened at that program, i heard now they have a navy seal, as a coach, with ten weeks of coaching experience, and he was the linebacker coach. What is wrong with marshall??????

Pickens never should have been hired in the first place, family problems, yea right. When you put someone in a head coaching position that can't motivate or teach what do you expect to happen? You get what you paid for. Marshall's administration has no clue to what they are doing. Who would take this job? It was said long ago on this blog how bad the Marshall's administration was concerning the sports program. As Viking fan stated and I rarely agree with Viking fan but the former principal, current vice principal and AD have made this program one of the worst in California. How long has it been since Tip left? But I'm just say’ in.

Our favorite well traveled coach Gamal Smalley is the HC with Muir's boys varsity basketball team, thus marking his 15,432nd coaching occupation after recent stints at Blair, PCC, and Ribet Academy.

I'm taking bets on how soon he'll "end up somewhere else" within the next two years. Meet me at the Mandalay Bay casinos' pony betting sportsbook.

If helped snap a 33 game losing streak, how is his record 2-16?

He should have been gone last year but Gustin didn't have the guts to get rid of him. He was was not there last year and missed alot of practices this year.Marshall probably has one of the worst football programs in the state. There AD and Assistant principal dragged that program in the ground.

Good luck on finding a good coach, for that to happen they need some qualified people running that athletic program.

pickens iz a liar family problems yea rite he left these kids becuase they wanted him gone he just didnt want to tell them the he got fired i hate liars
