I suspect they will promote from within. Just a hunch though.

Prayers to his family. Great poster on here for a long time.

Hate to hear that. She learned from Ball which most respected. But that does not always translate. Really want to see EN do well.

Not saying nor did I say a well oiled machine. Simply said Oakland was on the right track. And they were under TM. Creasy has obviously taken them to another level and credit to him.

Hard to debate who has/had better dynasty, Rankin or Creasy. But with that said, Rankin built the Riverdale Dynasty. Oakland was already on the right track when Creasy took over. It would be better to compare Alcoa Dynasty to Oaklands. Just my opinion. Time will tell but I don't see anyone overtaking Rankin anytime soon.

Agreed EastNasty. I honestly can't remember the last time metro had a big time QB recruit. I know several that played QB but weren't being recruited as a QB.

Yes hated what happened to him. Great man and coach.

Gwave...yep. I just named two counties but I did think about adding Sumner. Could have went even farther and included Shelby and Knox. Again metro has good coaches. Brunetti at PC has had a lot of success. East has had success with two different coaches, CR had one great year. But other coaches in other counties have had the same success. Back to topic, hope Overton gets a good coach. The good ones in the past stuck around awhile. Coutras, Mullican, and Anderson were all there several years. The last several coaches did not stay long. Any chance an alum comes home?

Metro has had really good coaches, and really bad coaches. Yes kids get the credit when a team wins, and coaches take the heat when they lose. Always been this way I suppose. As for metro being the only county sending multiple schools to state...... Rutherford: Riverdale, Oakland, Smyrna Williamson: Brentwood, Ravenwood, Indy, Summit Only difference is these are schools that won, not just went. Come on now metro coaches deserve credit but don't act like they are the cream of the crop as a whole.

I have heard a very intriguing name has applied for this job. I am honestly shocked this person would even be interested with the experience he has. I will be the first to admit I was wrong about Overton having a hard time finding a veteran coach. Only question is, will Overton see this coach as the right fit?

Tough region to try and compete in. I hope I am wrong but I think they will have a hard time finding a veteran coach with experience. Overton should have fought to stay with the other metro schools.

Personally I think it's very smart move. Great coach, experienced head coach, and knows the area well. LA is lucky to get someone with his experience and knowledge.

Lipscomb no significant history......GM had a lot of success. He was one of the best coaches from the mid-state.

Just saw where they are hiring DM. I thought they wanted personality. Someone to get the fans excited. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see this as an exciting hire.

Announcer you keep changing your agenda. Is it magnet schools, facilities, or talent? Guess you just go with whatever you haven't used yet. Keep going. I'm done. Are you Kreager? His topics are all over the place too......classification by success factor, playing in a dome to avoid weather, oh and grilling.
