I heard that interviews were today. Sounds like they are looking for someone loyal and longevity in the position. The current admin are treating this search the exact opposite of the previous Superintendent. They are taking their time and finding someone who is a perfect fit instead of getting awestruck by a name or a resume. When making an important decision you have to weigh not only what you are gaining, but you also have to look at what you might lose. That’s when you can decide if it is truly worth it or not.

I don’t think anyone ever questioned if Rang was a good coach, any questions were about his loyalty and if he was the best thing for the program long term. He even stated in his Oak Ridge interview that he took the LC job to get back into TN coaching. He never WANTED to be at Lewis County, more he needed a place holder until a bigger program opened up. It is not Rang’s fault, he just applied and was given the job. It was no secret that he would not be here long, and those who spoke out about it were silenced. The blame lies on the former administration who wanted to hire the biggest name possible in an attempt to outshine Columbia Central’s hiring of Coach Sharp. Now we have a group of kids on their 3rd HC in less than a year.

The problem with this logic is that none of these men fit the set criteria. You see Lewis County is a “premier” program and deserves an “elite” coach. Based on the search from less than a year ago, the future coach MUST have prior head coaching experience and can’t have anything that could “distract” him from his coaching duties, such as a family. This would nix every person you have listed, even if they were interested.
