They will be able to, as I hear that decisions have been made.

Will the administration of Brentwood Academy announce a hiring this week?

What I've heard is a week old, but here goes (standard disclaimers about rumors and sources apply)--Flatt is retiring. There was a meeting before the championshipp games between Flatt, the BA headmaster (Masters, I think?), and Rutledge. The meeting went well and it seemed as if an offer was imminent. Apparently Rutledge started making calls to try and put together a staff or to inquire as to the availabilty and interest of other coaches...word got back to BA and as no deal had been struck they (BA) were a bit miffed and chose not to pursue Rutledge any further. I do know that there is a connection between the McCallie AD and Flatt, so a connection there to Potter is not out of the question. Time will tell....

I don't think any BA people were saying that on this board. However, since then, and I did not even mention it because it was just talk. I did hear for the first time from BA people that there has been talk with Coach Potter. When I asked why he would possibly be interested? I was told that one of the BA theories was that there is not a lot of talent in the immediate pipeline at McCallie and he likes to win. Now, that is a RUMOR that I heard the night of our Championship game. I have not heard it from a second source, nor have I heard it again. Shortly after that I heard much stronger rumors that Coach Rutledge was interested. I think both of those guys are too smart to take the job without getting the athletic director job and I am not sure if that job is available.
