So what exactly is the level of AE? I mean good lawd, AE has 1 or 2 bad years and every one in Knox County thinks AE never been a top notch program. When's the last time Halls beat AE?

That Fulton assistant you're talking about should've been at AE but he stayed at Fulton. His whole family went to AE , he would be good but the question is how long would he be willing to stay at AE? I wouldn't have a problem with him being head coach

Are you sure about that?

Man I hope you are correct! But KCS has been out of school since January 12th, so no announcement has been made yet

Uh, this OC needs to get Karns going first before you say he can get AE going. IJS

There's a lot that's applied for it for sure but the question is are, they qualified for the job? Can they relate to the kids at AE? To be honest, you have to deal with so much more than coaching at AE.

Not that one but another one hahaha

hahahaha I was being sarcastic sir hahaha but if the new coach is whom I'm hearing than you're in for a rude awaken just remember what I said.

Interesting but when I first met him, I was like he fits the Culture at AE so we shall see.

Yea, I think I need some of that good stuff you smoking!!! Puff puff pass my guy!!

I feel you on this but you know most message boards are like this during the hiring of a new coach. They're going to mention people until someone is hired.

I'm doing my best to stay out of it but I must say , I would love to see Stevens back at AE! He had the ship going upward and the community really supported him. If for some reason he decides to take the Central job, I'll say you all are in good hands.

Why not? Jody Wright at Fulton is and has been for years but like I said, don't hire Stevens, we'll take him back at AE haha

Yea, they really don't have a clue if they're saying that. hahaha but shoot we'll take Stevens in a heartbeat if you all don't take him but we're all wondering when CHS will make a hire because wasn't Central job the first one opened this offseason? You all should've been hired a coach. It didn't take this long to hire a Basketball coach, what's the hold up? Oh I got it, its Knox County School's fault hahaha

Yes, I stated before, they should have a coach by the end of the month.

I understand that

I think its fair game for all! I think whomever your friend is should think positive and think he sould and will get a chance to interview. I think The AD will consider any and everyone .

I no longer have my inside source, I just know there's a lot of interest in the job. I haven't heard any names but I'm trying to get some hahah so I can fill yall in..

Actually they don't need anyone they just have to believe in themselves. Most teams get scared when they see Alcoa across the field from them but AE is one that's willing to put up a fight against them. Shoot game 1 at AE it was 7-0 Alcoa at the end of the first quarter. So you can tell AE can compete with them when they want

Now back to the coaching search; Hearing there's a lot of interest in this job. Some names you wouldn't believe and some you're like WHO... I'll say we'll hear something by the end of the month.

Alcoa's dynasty will run out soon. Let them enjoy it while they can. No matter what division they play in , AE will always schedule them. Yes, it's been lopsided here lately but tables about to to turn. Don't believe me, keep watching.

This is true, the little program was in all but 1 championship game (they didn't fill a team in that age group). They won every age group but 2. Like you said the talent has been there but SOME of the players leave to go ride the bench elsewhere. AE will be ok, ITS HARD TO BE A ROADRUNNER!! Like Phillips used to say, "I'll coach the ones that wants to be Roadrunners!" Some will stay and some will go but I think the younger generation now (Current Baby Roadrunners) all want to go to AE to bring that winning history back to the school. This same little league program I'm talking about blew Alcoa teams out so like you said once ALcoa start recruiting then maybe they will continue wining 3a football but with the players in their little league program that 21 or 22 streak will be ending real soon.

First of all let me let this be known. I'm not a Manning Fan! I think Tee Martin did more in one year for UT than Peyton did in 4 and Martin doesn't get the props he deserves. Now when I'm saying Culture I'm saying Peyton is a good guy and know his x's and o's but I don't think he could relate to the players at AE that's what i'm meaning. It has nothing to do with Peyton being white nor the type of music he listens too. I just don't think he'll relate to the players. Before you say, "Its because he's white!" No sir, AE has white coaches on all of its sports teams and the kids love all of them. Most of the coaches that are white have been at AE for awhile and they relate to the kids well. The AD is white he's basically been in the community for years as well so color has nothing to do with it before you all go there. And another thing AE hasn't been down as long as you all are thinking. I can't wait til we get back to winning 8-9 games a year so you all can quit thinking AE is just a laughable job. and once again the AD is a football guy he will make the right hire no matter the color of their skin nor whatever I'm saying. I'm just a long time fan and whatever I say on this board means nothing when it comes to coaching searches.

THat's true, that's what I meant. Is he leaving Webb to go follow J Long

All former Vols ; Chris Treece would be a good fit but is he going to Fulton with J Long or is he staying at Grace ?
