Take this for what it is worth. Tommy Laurendine is one of five finalist for the head coaching job at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. This was announced on March 25th. Just 'google" "Tommy Laurendine" for more details.

What implications on the current coaching staff do you see if someone outside the program is hired? Specifically, does Stevens (if) bring former Wildcat Kwayu Graham and/or others with him. Generally, what may other candidates do to the staff, if anything? How long would Gray stay if he had to wait, as Lussier did?

Coach Bibee has a nice resume', with 1A and AA college coaching experience. Heard he is having a tough time with administration at Baylor too. He would be a good fit for that community.

Wasn't Bibee a star high school player in TN way back when and possibly even play some at UT?

Yep. He was the quarterback at Tennessee High in the early/mid 70s. He led the Vikings to a state championship one year on a team that some call the best high school team every from Tennessee.

 

If memory serves he played both football and baseball at UT.

I just think its pathetic that UT Men's basketball can hire a coach in under 2 weeks and there will probably be a new Pope in under a month but the great collection of brains that is our high schools administation can't hire a football coach in under 2 monthes.

I'm sure they're not having trouble finding one. Just taking their time with all of the possible people that would want to coach there.

I must admit I am a little shocked at the reported choice if true.I thought we would go after a proven head coach with a little more of a winning record,but maybe is he a good teacher. I just hope we are not getting into a spot like we were in with the hire we made in the early 1980's. We hired a good man and good teacher but winning apparently was not a priority to him. You can find both in a coach, a winner and a soild teacher. We have had that combination in the past.

      school closing in Shelby county

      By TheTruthHurts22 · Posted

      Im more of a Basketball follower than football and like I said we play what we have, there is no going and recruiting or even talking kids into transferring…..and to rebut about Memphis teams in finals I’ve watched Memphis East and Penny Hardaway with the enrollment of a single A team play up and dominate any and all challengers for years! They aren’t the only ones either Mike Miller and son at Germantown put together that super team a couple years ago that ran through the rest of the state! Other teams from Memphis or Chatt or Nash or any large populated area pop up and are relevant out of nowhere every year because they get an influx of talent be it from a new coach or AAU affiliations it happens in football also just like any other sport! I hope these two schools that close join together and get to play the team you support, then you may see it differently! I find it funny some of you think recruiting and resources don’t matter . The county schools get very little funding also but you don’t want to get me started on that part!

      Simmons OUT at GH

      By WaReAgLe3 · Posted

      In a total classless move, Coach Simmons once again shows his true colors. Waits till the day after school is out to let everyone know he is leaving. Fails up to a community college job after a lackluster 2 year span at GH. And do not tell me about the state run that saved a sub .500 season and plenty of whippings by Cookeville and Lebanon.  Looks like the girls job at GH is cursed. Terrible MS program/coaches feeding what is turning out to be a joke of a HS team.
