He's a good friend of mine that I had the pleasure of meeting at a coaches convention. Very smart and energetic young man would bring a lot to this program. All state player in HS was recruited by over 20 schools. Signed to play SEC football after one year transferred to D1AA school where he finished. Tried out for several NFL teams including a combine invite and played arena football where he was a 2 time champion and defensive MVP at DL. Has a five year coaching background spent the last 2 as a Defensive coordinator. Very well spoken and very involved with the community boys and girls clubs, after school programs, volunteering, pee wee leagues and AAU. He's your guy he knows how to get things done and will excite the kids. To many times we try to go with experience but that's not always a winning formula an older coach mite have trouble rellating to the kids. Look what Maryville did a power like that hired a young guy. This school hasn't been good for years and need energy he will bring that no more 0-10 seasons!
