Franklin County Job

[twh30]

It will be interesting to see who gets the job.

Some great information on this job! But lets let the people who need to make the decision make it and leave the applicants up to them. Throwing mud is in no way what needs to be done. Show some class on this board please. If you are one of the ones trying to get a job by degrading someone else then I hope you get what you deserve. Many of those type people are not on this board anymore and i believe that those type remarks should be removed. This is a great board that should not have to worry about slanderous comments. Good luck Franklin County

Nine canidates have applied. I will mention some of the names in the rumor mill. There is a surprise that has not been mention. Though Dr Edmonson denies it, it is my belief that Coach Mantooth was forced out. I hope they hire a coach with class and not just football smarts. Remember, these names are in the rumor mill. Most of them have applied, but not all.

Coach Collins was once the head coach at JCM. He spent one yr as def coord at Franklin Co under Coach Mantooth.

Mike Danley, the freshman coach.

Steve Carson, former Rebels player and off coord, now an assistant at Smyrna.

Coach Britton who is applying for a lot of jobs.

Catlett, Swafford and Tracy Hayworth, who is a former Rebels , UT and Detroit Lions player who is an assistant coach at Southwest Baptist in Missouri. Cos Dematteo, a former Rebels QB, current Arena football player, whose father in law is Coach Lussier, former Ok Ridge Coach and current Father Ryan Coach.

Coach Mac McCurry, a former Rebel player and asssitant at Tullahoma, and former head coach at Moore Co and Marshall Co. Coach Mac is now a head coach in Ripley, Miss.

As previously said, this has been in the works for awhile and I believe they know who they want. I hear they will name the new coach within a couple of weeks.

A couple of fairly well known head coaches have shown interest or been contacted. I don't think this is the time to list those names, but they are good men.

Del, Coach Colquette did apply 5 yrs ago, but I am sure he will not be the new coach at Franklin Co.

The new facilities are great and the supplement is now up to par. A couple of good assistants are in place. Coach Mantooth was short 2 assistants this past yr. The Rebels booster club is very solid and the community will support the program. We need a hard working coach who is a c lass act and gets out in the community. Hopefully, he will have strong discipline and not get too close to the parents and allow them to have a say so in who plays what position.

Coach Mantooth is a great football coach and a class man. Good luck to him and Suzy.

Coach Lussier?!? He's only been at Father Ryan for one season. I didn't think he would become tired of that program so quickly. If it is true though, it would be a great thing for Franklin Co. to get him. Great coach and a very well respected man!

I believe you misread the post. It is his son-in-law who is stated as applying.

Will this be a legitimate coaching search OR as in some small towns, will the chosen one be the superintendent's second cousin's nephew on his mama's side???

Sorry about that. I apologize for the mix up. I guess I do need to read a little closer next time. Thanks.

I think both of you are right. From what I have heard, it seems like it has been in the works for awhile.

any news???

I hear the head Coach at Moore Co. is the front runner. Just a rumour like everything else. I have also heard that they will be extending the interviews because a couple of men have shown interest but are still involved in playoffs. Still just rumours though.

You mean Coach Mac or Montoye

I don't think you can consider Cos DeMatteo. He has made two movies, just signed with the Arizona Rattlers of the arena football league and the biggest thing he and his new wife just bought a new house in Nashville.
