Bradley house sold a while ago. Currently living with a former player's family.

Who will be new strength coach at GCA?

Where does USJ turn with Bradley's departure? How bad are things out there that he felt he needed to leave after one year?

You think they're home yet?

Circling back around. Rumor is Bradley will be in Knoxville this weekend to meet with Grace administration.

My source tells me an email was sent to select GCA families letting them know a hire was made, who the candidate chosen was, but asking them to "keep it on the down low" until the hire was made official.

Florida guy that's been discussed on here

Congratulations to Grace on getting their guy. Heard it's taken so long because the wife isn't sold on the move but hopefully she'll come around soon. East Tennessee is a great place to live.

So... Rusty Bradley?

Things must be really bad for Bradley to be pursuing options to leave after one season. I think USJ supporters could give us better insight into what year one under CRB was like.

It's going to be USJ's Bradley from all I'm hearing.

I'm sure there are several candidates for the position. Coach Brewster was mentioned earlier, but he's indicated to me that he's very comfortable and happy in his current position. He's a guy that loves the players and they love playing for him. Also, we've got Coach Kareken remaining on staff. Some may not have heard about Coach K on the HS level, but he won a Championship as the MS HC before moving up to the HS squad. He will be a HC at the HS level in the near future. Both of those guys are as solid as they come and will provide a great foundation for whoever the next HC is. Will be surprised if Brewster and Kareken stick around, especially after Brewster was told he wasn't a finalist for the HC job.

There's some talk about Rusty Bradley being a finalist for the Grace job. Would be surprising since he had so much success in year one at USJ but never say never.

2008 (S. Thompson's senior year) was the best Alcoa D according to Alcoa people I've spoken to.

As a CAK watcher, couldn't agree more. One thing I don't think many have mentioned on this board is the fantastic job the offense has done this season. No returning starting receivers, 0 capable traditional running backs on the roster, and an offensive line that was/is a huge question mark week in and week out, the offensive staff has done a remarkable job. Too many of the football games won by the Warriors were shootouts, the defense definitely has been lacking this year, but proud of the Warrior offense for losing CRB and still being as productive as they have been without the traditional weapons CAK is used to.
