gridiron13 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I know they are on spring break this week. Are they interviewing? Who are the names? What kind of guy are they looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o21putt Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 According to the Oak Ridge newpaper that can be read online, the committee has narrowed the number of applicants to 10. They will start interviewing those 10 and hopefully make a choice from that list. They will not announce who is in the top 10 as it really is not anyones business. The AD has said numerous times that they hope to have someone in place prior to the start of spring practice. From what I have read and heard they would like to have a selection of a coach by the first week in April. May or may not happen. You can read the article in the Oak Ridge paper as the website is theoakridger.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o21putt Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 If you really hate to disagree with me then don't. I suspect that the Oak Ridge committee will tell you who they have selected when they are ready to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not have to make everything public they don't want to otherwise. Just be glad when they make a decision so all the speculating about 'Rankin' in the Boro will end. Good Luck OR on your decision. Looking forward to seeing y'all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should our public officials be conducting the public's business in secret? That is probably not a topic for the football board. When is OR scheduled to have spring practice? That should give us a timeline for when to expect the annoucement of the new coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCman Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 So is Rankin in the ten? 825630989[/snapback] I really have no idea but I doubt that he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounder Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 If I was on the committee I wouldn't want my name made public. People would drive you crazy asking who on the list,whose the favorite and why did you pick him? If I was a coach and didn't make the cut I don't think I would want my employer to know I was looking else where, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TankTalk Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I am happy to say that I am 99.9 percent sure that Rankin fans in the boro can breathe easy ... I really have no idea but I doubt that he is. 825630997[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catscratch Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I am told by relaible sources that the principal at Oak Ridge who has already resigned taking another position of employment for next year will be very instrumental in the hiring process for the next head coach at Oak Ridge. I find that absurd to think that someone who will have nothing to gain or lose would be involved in this process. No matter the outcome with a lame duck principal being involved there will always be questions as to why the school board and administration would allow this to go on, it makes no sense at all. Someone needs to be accountable, but the principal will be gone and will have no accountability at all. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnbreakers Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Catscratch, I couldn't agree more. He should not be able to be involved in hiring a janitor at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
