Loudon Football

Have not heard any rumors! Hopefully something will happen soon!

 Thought Harig was just waiting on the final word?

If it is basically a deal, why not get him in there as quick as possible? I am sure there are some regulations on having the job posted for a certain amount of time, but the longer they push back the inevitable the less time he has to implement his changes and the less time kids have to learn and adapt. Is there a chance at all for anyone else? And with the rumors of Roane County merging schools, is there a chance kids will be transferring to Loudon?

Hopefully all the good players in Roane Co.!! We need them!

No disrespect to Loudon fans, but even if Harig was rehired, it's going to take some time to build that program back up. I know people who live in loudon and they tell me their is almost no talent down there right now so whoever the next Coach is will have a fairly bear cupboard. I highly doubt Harig goes back there because he left when he saw the ship was sinking, doubt he will want to build another ship.

If they didn't have coaches with good resumes apply after Harig's last year, I am curious to see who puts in for it now.

It is a shame there isn't transparency in applicants when schools are hiring for coaches, given That a coach did not request it be kept private.

Greenback is benefiting from this situation and will for a while.

Seems like the chatter on this thread has slowed to a halt. Does that mean Harig is staying at BHS. If he is at BHS, that means he expects to be the HC there in the near future!

Interviews start after spring break! Hopefully these will be quick and get done soon!! If Harig wants the job they better hire him NOW!!!!!!

I heard today they are trying to get him.Not sure if he wants it.Should hear something very soon.

They basically wasted a month? The job has been open for about a month and no interviews have been done yet? Not sure the thinking behind that one. Every minute counts when it comes to preparing kids. If Harig doesn't get it, is there anyone else they are talking about getting it anyone that might be interested? Does anyone know if any kids have recently transferred from Loudon to another school because of their current situation?

Even if Harig is hired again, Loudon fans need not expect him to turn them around over night. Whoever takes this job is in for at least a 2 year rebuild. People down there tell me the talent is sparse. Lenior City is probably getting some along with Greenback because kids want to play for Bigger/Better teams. Hopefully Loudon can get back to what they once were, but there will be a long road ahead.
