He'd coached at Science Hill for a years prior to a 1 year stint in SC.  When he got hired at Crockett a lot of SH players and kids from the feeder system suddenly came to Crockett when they used to avoid it .  "Recruiting" is probably too strong a word and implies something illegal and shady, but there were definite ties there that brought a lot of that new influx of talent to Crockett.

All true. Call it what you want, but the SHHS players were highly "influenced" to come play for Bosken. It wasn't great for the DCHS kids who actually lived and grew up in Jonesboro to be replaced for Bosken's benefit. It was sad to see. Poor guys who loved football were benched and ended up quitting because of Bosken's politics. 

His temper will keep coming out. He will start losing assistant coaches and players at Knox Halls just like he did at DCHS. Watch your back around him.

I know one thing he helped turn around a school that was awful in football before he took over as head coach 

That is debatable. He recruited players from a much larger school which helped him win games. He then left Crockett after the ####-in-Face Hazing incident and left Crockett football team a mess. Missing football funds, lawsuits, all of his assistant coaches had quit because Bosken was a conceited jerk, most football players had quit also. Don't be fooled by him. He will cause much dissapointment to your players and parents. 

Bosken also got in a fight and got David Crockett suspended from the playoffs when he was there. Coincidence?  The people of Jonesborough who know the REAL Bosken are questioning it. I feel sorry for Knox Halls who are being fooled by his act. His true colors will come out soon enough. Remember, this is the coach who allowed young players to be sexually assaulted by upper classmen in his care. That is the real reason he left David Crockett. You can see below how the DCHS parents felt about him.

Not suspicious at all. Wasn't aware of this thread or forum till now. No bashing either, those are all facts. I hope your team has a better experience with him than we did. He seems great at first, but his true colors will come out. This was just to give a warning and let you know who he really is. 

I would be thankful if someone had warned us instead of being shocked and disappointed in a coach that my son spent countless hours with.

You can see for yourselves how the David Crockett High School parents felt about him.

Ask JEREMY BOSKEN's former assistant coaches why they quit under him. He could not keep anyone because he treats everyone terrible. He will show his true colors soon enough. Jonesborough was sick of him and his attitude. The boys were all quiting the team because he was such a horrible person. My son stuck it out till graduation but he hated every minute of BOSKEN. As for his "christian" beliefs and behavior, go to a practice and you will see just how "christian" he really is. It is an eye opener. 

Read up on the HAZING incident, he left town because parents were furious he allowed their children to be victimized in his care. He then protected a star player and left the blame on less talented players. There is a lawsuit pending against the school and him. 

…James Murphy, Washington County Schools’ secondary director of attendance and discipline, said two seniors and two underclassmen have so far been remanded to alternative school after the district’s own investigation.
