  1. As I stated this in the other thread,

    "Based on this past year WC has hired local people. If this is the case then they will either hire someone from the current coaching staff who is local, or they should go after former Pioneers like Dale Dunlap,(Christian Brothers High School) or Brian Duncan(Siegel)."

     

    I feel they are looking going to be looking for a hometown guy.

  2. All I'm gonna say is WC's coach is NOT impressive. He leaves players in the game that causes turnover after turnover and takes outs or doesn't play the ones that are halfway talented and contribute. Seems to me coach is finding ways to lose instead of finding ways to win. Maybe he will be gone after one more year. WC people need to be careful what they wish for. Oh and for the record I'm not related to anyone on the team or the prior coaches. Just an observation thats all. I'm interested in others opinions as well.

     

    I know you are frustrated, but why don't you put this on the Warren County thread.

    According to Roy Pierce, who is a member of the WCHS panel that will be selecting the next head football coach for the Pioneers, the committee is narrowing down applicants and they have seen some highly qualified coaches looking to fill the position. At this point, nine applicants have made the short list of contenders and Pierce says he couldn’t be happier with the quality of those applicants. “All of the coaches we have interviewed,” he said, “are 100 percent committed to coming here. We have seen a lot of guys who are highly qualified to fill the position.” Some of the names of note who are in the running are Tommy Johnson, who some may know for his play under coach Gene Stallings or his work in the NFL for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also spent time coaching in the Arena Football League prior

    to the league’s shut down not long ago. Johnson has ties to the Middle Tennessee area and looks to

    return. “There are a lot of applications from local folks,” said Pierce. “Some of these coaches have

    been away for 20 years or so and just want to move back to the area.” Another name thrown into the

    running is Scott Smith. Smith is best known for his work with Ezell Harding where he took that program to the state tournament in 2003. Pierce enjoys the fact he and his colleagues on the panel have

    such a high quality group of candidates this time around. “This is the best group of candidates

    we have had to choose from,” he said. “We have always chosen the best person for the job, but, this year we have some guys with really good résumés. I don’t know if it’s the economy or what, but we have a different caliber of applicants this time.” Pierce says some of the candidates preferred not to have their name mentioned for this article, but others being considered range from former professional athletes and local coaches who want to move to a bigger school."

  4. I have alot of respect for the Warren Co team. They give the most effort in this district and id argue that with anyone. They just dont have the talent every other team does.
