Anyone heard any news? or better yet any good rumors?

I hope taking the time to make this hire means it will be a good one! I think there are some good candidates but all I hear is rumor. Not sure if any of those are serious or not.

Based on your username and your 2 previous posts I believe you have the only name you are interested in.

and I am letting you know that it won't be confirmed because it is inaccurate info.

Inaccurate info.

Heard some good names mentioned...could be interesting if we can afford it.

Agreed...I was just thinking 5A/6A.

Again....just my opinion, but of the schools you listed I think the only one that has a shot at winning a state championship is Henry County. Northside is going to be hurt by open enrollment...and most years would have to beat Henry County to advance. If not HC then likely a talented Memphis school. Those other schools like Hardin Co., Munford, etc. will never have a level of talent to make it to Cookeville. Again, just my opinion that those outside of Henry County will have a tough time competing year in and year out. Now back to what matters....Vowell would be excellent for Peabody. I'm all for it. Any other names being thrown around?

This is just my opinion...but outside of a few schools who play in larger classifications, there just aren't many good jobs in larger classes in West Tennessee. I would think most coaches assume they can never win a state championship at most of the larger West TN schools because the talent isn't there to compete deep in the playoffs. The jobs that are considered "good jobs" in West TN larger classifications rarely come open.

Thanks. I was concerned I may have to sit by myself.

Not concerned over the hire...those making it will make a good choice. I have confidence in that. I am concerned over lack of support from Peabody faithful. It has never been great....but it seems there was more activity last year at this time on here.

The lack of interest concerns me.

Anybody have any info on coaching search? Targets? Any worthy assistants? Somebody....anybody?? Buelller??

Either would be a good choice. The program is headed in the right direction that's for sure. Keeping a smooth transition should be a priority.

Awesome.
