The Cougars found their guy. Wasn’t Farmer even though he had a conversation with them Friday. Ended up hiring a CPA assistant. Some CPA connections here, think he’s a decent hire for them. Looks like they went young and enthusiastic instead of a older and more experienced coach. Could be a good one, time will tell.

Or know people that played at Davidson for him. Great leader and great coach.

I don’t agree with your comments about Coach Farmer. I also heard he interviewed but I think he would make a great coach for the Cougars!

Can’t believe everything you hear. The search started with a big name and has progressed to 5 or more coaches including assistants and middle school coaches turning them down. Just isn’t a good job right now. Don’t see it turning around anytime soon.

Heard from multiple people at GP they are in fact going after Patton at Nashville Christian. Hearing he could be announced as the new guy in the next couple days. Great hire for the Cougars if true.

Speaking of coaches at Nashville Christian, hearing a lot of rumors from over there.

If they are leaving and going to have to sit out any way why wouldn’t they? Where else would they go? They lost one to Maplewood last year. Could go there. Sounds like a terrible dynamic either way.

Several of the players are telling people they are leaving. Wonder if any of them are thinking about coming to Davidson?

You clearly do not know her or her daughter. They are people you want around your program and school. I would love for her to get a job coaching here.

Abner has to be #1. There are a couple former assistants that worked with Sonn that would make a ton of sense here too. One just stepped down at DA a year ago and isn’t currently coaching. *Both have switched over to girls too. Roller is currently at Goodpasture and has girls coaching experience. Myles who has coached and has a daughter on the team could be a great option as well.

Why couldn’t our administration see that 3 months ago. Not wait this long and allow some of our players to leave because they see basketball isn’t important to them. Our girls team looks like they have much lower numbers too. Hopefully Coach Kevin can somehow convince those leaving to stay.

Don’t worry about basketball, our football team will be ready to go.

This is the coach that took his name out.

Not sure if this is accurate. Rumor is one of the final candidates took his name out a couple days ago. Also sounds like we are losing a couple players.

I would have to guess we are close to finding out who the coach is with school coming to a close. Are you hearing any names? I guess the best chance is going to be Coach Kevin after all. Didn’t think this would be the case early on.

Good to see other parents as frustrated as I am. Worried we will lose a few families in the program because of this. The administration doesn’t seem to care about this hire much at all. Is this an administration decision or an board decision? Either way it is a terrible look. Just give it to Coach Kevin and be done with it. Can’t see anyone who has interviewed (assuming that interviews have taken place) could still want this job. Basketball seems to be no where near as important as Football and it shows.

Pretty remarkable that administration is taking this long with out communicating with our kids or responding to emails. Should not take this long.

Exactly. Any one know of people that have interviewed for the position or have interest in the job?

Heard today Kevin will not coach again next year.

Some say he does not want to coach again right now. If that is the case, we need to be seeking/interviewing other people. If they have started that would be a positive sign. I hope they have some good people interested. Seems like you are as frustrated as I am.

Any one have insight lately?

He is a stand up guy who was done wrong. He did tell some people doing both jobs was too much. This is why some players/parents might question if he took back on this role. Have they interviewed anyone or is Coach Kevin in charge of that? Could see that turning coaches away if they were interviewing for a job with someone whom may want it. Someone mentioned yesterday the job isn’t open to the public. Seems a bit strange. If Kevin doesn’t want it, he should be the one interviewing other candidates. If not, others in the building that have coached could help. Jason is one that comes to mind, as someone who knows the game well. I am sure Adrian would be a good person to help as well. Ready for the process to start.

A few parents said that when he stepped down. They could have been taking about administrators and I misunderstood. Coach Kevin has told me it was his decision, but we moved quickly in getting Coach Shaw. I think the boys would like having him back. I know my son would be fine with it.

Heard the board wants him to continue to be AD only. Did not like him doing both roles in the past. Bring him back and let some one else be the Athletic Director? Could focus his time on basketball only.

That’s now multiple people that think the GCS assistant is a good choice. The question remains if he is interested. Would think he stays at Goodpasture. They should be loaded the next several years. Don’t think he would leave to come here.
