Are you talking about Coach Slover?

Indeed

It's good to see he is getting to bring in someone himself. I'm curious if Slover is still there teaching or has found another job coaching somewhere else.

he’s out on the recruiting trail pretty heavily right now.

I’ve seen several posts of yours now ragging on Coach. There some personal history there? 

Not a fan of charlatans. Especially those that bang their own drum.

This is going to sound much meaner than intended, but is Coach P considered a good coach? They have had decent talent the past couple years, but, to my knowledge, have never beat Gibbs or AC. Is that on him or is it their talent?

No.  Twitter game is strong, though.

And nobody thinks these head coaches and assistants don't get phone calls from AD's wanting to know if they are interested in coming to their schools? Happens all the time.

I know an AD that calls a coach every single evening recruiting him.  

Don't call the people to tell them they don't have the job until the one you offered it to is signed/sealed and delivered. Not sure why that is so difficult.

Still salty that Pressley fired you a couple ago years i see. 

Swiiiiiiiing and a miss. 

Guess I will have to keep updating his resume to find out. Luckily, it’s easily accessible thanks to Elon’s platform. 

Georgia on his mind?

Did the powers that be finally finish reading Pressley's resume and pull the trigger? Or they waiting until Chris Hanson leaves campus to make a move?

Kevin, can you log on one of your accounts and let us know a timeline? Spring ball is going to be here soon and I need to know how many non-faculty guys you plan on bringing.

Can you imagine having a frontrunner for your job that has his resume pinned to his Twitter/X profile?

I have heard that the Carter Head Football Coach has applied and also Rusty Bradley has applied.

If a job is open, Pressley will apply.

So the problem must have been the teachers or the students.

Problem lies in whiny parents that if they don't get their way, storm the beaches with their pitchforks and whatnot.  This is a 4 alarm dumpster fire with many individual fires.  Speas wasn't the problem.  Miner wasn't the problem.  Baseball coach had a minor problem. And the world will keep spinning, until Starbucks runs out of cream and a Mom has to run to central office to blame someone.

Man HVA is looking like a real lack of institutional control.  Can't even get the custodians to act right.

Kinda funny when you look at the Pruitt years at UT and the JJ years at Bearden.  Abernathy is that one degree of separation.  Only real difference is that Pruitt is about 20-25 IQ points higher than JJ.

What do the Bearden coaches do for day jobs? I assume a coaching stipend at a county school doesn’t pay you enough to make a living.

A wide range from running athletic facilities, working in a factory and at least one petty thief.

Wrong one. Dawgs is one of the lowly assistants, dogbull is Lane. 

Lane has multiple.  Easiest way to figure out is when a job comes open.

defense? And that would be ole coach Kevin Lane, the hardest man to hate on planet Earth. If there’s ever a day that you catch me hating on Coach Lane, heck has frozen over. Great with the students, great with the players and parents, just a great coach, Central really should’ve hired him. I don't know if he was even interested in the job, but I would’ve become a central fan if he was hired.

You did good this year, Kevin.

One last thing for all the haters of West on this board and this thread -

We are criticized when we win big or win close because we are supposed to with all this talent.

We are criticized when we lose bc of bad coaching or underachieving with talent.

Recruiting, district lines, oh my.

For once can someone just give credit where credits due?

Guess not...Merry Christmas and see you next year.

Go Rebels!

And they do it the right way. Breath of fresh air in the Knoxville market.

I think Wheeler is a front runner. Goes up against a good defense and shows he has no class. Should have gotten flagged and kicked out for the punch he threw on West side line. I think it was him who later got tossed for spearing a West player while he was on the ground. The kid seems spoiled and a very unsportsman like attitude.

Attitude reflect leadership, Captain.

Sorry.  no protocol for that.

HIV, is just a mouthpiece for Lowe.  Always has been, always will be.

He tells HIV what to post, and he does.  It's his own protocol.
