Shelbyville/MTSU

[salty]

Sure seems quiet out of Bedford County and MTSU.

 

Comes down to this:

 

If MTSU wants to have the best womens' basketball program they can, they will hire Rick Insell.

 

If political correctness reigns, they will hire another. Lot of pressure in this day and age to not hire a 50-something, white, male, high school coach.

 

Don't mean to offend anyone, but I believe this.

Expect some news very soon on candidates and how the hiring situation is coming along.

Is the Interim coach an applicant as well?

 

My source tells me she may be the next coach at MTSU.

 

Of course, he told me John Kerry would be President, and that OJ killed Nicole.

 

He can't always be believed.

What about the assistant from Florida, heard she was in the running. She did just sign 3 girls from West Tennessee to head to the Univ of Florida...

 

Th real question...If Insell gets it, will Fuller and Newman head back to middle Tennessee and play for the little man?

 

And, who would take the coveted Shelbyville position? Would the reign of Shelbyville be over?

She has indicated publically that she doesn't want the job.

It would take a strong will and thick skin to follow Coach, maybe a family member down the road.

 

I would bet that if push came to shove, the community would do all they could to keep him at home. thumb

Time for an update:

 

My MTSU sources are telling me that three candidates have emerged as front-runners for the job.

 

 

Georgia State Head Coach Lea Henry

 

 

Florida Assistant Carolyn Thomas-Swinson

 

 

Shelbyville Head Coach Rick Insell

 

The filiing window for appilcations ends on Thursday April 28 according to the MTSU webste. That means that an announcement could come very soon following that. Despite reports by the Murfreesboro newspaper there is a lot of activity happening and everything is full speed ahead. Candidates have been on campus and a coach could be announced soon. I trust my source on campus who says a coach could be announced as early as Friday or early next week (Monday or Tuesday).

 

These are all three great candidates and MTSU will be lucky to have any one of them. IF it is Insell, everyone knows that his replacement will be hand-picked. I have some thoughts on names, but he is not going anywhere YET.

The assistant you mentioned is Swinson who I have been told is a top three candidate.

Can you name me one major women's college coaching position that has recently been filled by a male? Seems like men coaches for women are quickly becoming dinosaurs. I know there's a few around but every year positions come open and they are quickly filled by female coaches.

 

Good luck to whoever gets the chance to coach the ladies at MTSU.
