You’re probably right I don’t know as much as I know about the program, just seems odd to me that Ballard was a reference for only one coach that applied and that coach didn’t get the job but you’re right his input was used very heavily in the decision making

I’m not saying that at all, and I didn’t say zeller stepped down atleast I don’t think I did and if I did I apologize And I was there as well during the transition but I was only there for one year of the transition

Mike Zeller was there for 8 years and I was counting that as long term but you’re right definitely not as long as Sorrells

Well I know the exact 7 people that was on the hiring committee and Ballard wasn’t one of them but the good news is it took 2 years to get the right hire the last time a long time head coach stepped down

You’re right, just think this hire shows the administration doesn’t care about their for head coach and current coaching staffs opinion on the hire but you’re right the sun will still rise in the morning

You’re right Baugh and spradlin started coaching at the same time, thank you for the correction on that

They both started the same time at Greeneville then Hammonds quit 2 years ago cause he was tired of the administration and thought he was gonna get the head coaching job at Gat-Pit but didn’t even get an interview Thrn came back as a position coach who didn’t even show up for AM or PM workouts during spring training last year and who also threatened to quit before the head coaching position came open this year

Hammonds got the head coaching position, he should be thankful for the quillens private meeting with Starnes about a new press box

The good thing for Greeneville is atleast they’ll be getting a new press box since they chose to go with Hammonds

I’d argue the case that he was possibly the best hire in house or out

I felt the same way and I could be totally wrong, and as much as I hope I’m wrong in saying this but be prepared to be shocked

I think the first choice was Spradlin Cody Baugh, Dan Hammonds, Nick Craney, and Wes Jones was the four that applied for it

Unfortunately I think it is Hammonds

I think it has more to do with Hammonds leaving before for a job he didn’t even get and someone else worried about being demoted cause Hammonds is gonna run his defense his way, has nothing to do with the culture. But that’s just my opinion

Now that I really don’t know cause they’ve kept this whole process very quite, but I have multiple opinions on how I think they could go They could go with experience and as long as they don’t look into his past before he became the head coach at Hardin Valley, they’ll go with Wes Jones If they go with who I think would be best for the program as far as keeping most of the coaches on staff, head coaching experience, offensive minded, ties for many years at Greeneville then they’ll go with Baugh Or if they’re not looking at having to fill a teaching position and not worried about filling other coaching positions then they’ll hire Hammonds As far as Craney I think at this time he’s too young Now all of this is just my opinion and I don’t know anything for certain, but in my opinion your best hire would be Baugh and your worst hire would be Hammonds
