Any word on the Alcoa job?

[tornadogold]

Its done....Rankin has accepted the job. Everybody thats important knows. Whos Riverdales next coach?

 

 

Sorry to burst the old rumor bubble, but applications are still being received until tomorrow. Interviews start the 10th. Of course, I'm not one of the "important ones", but I don't see how Alcoa could pay Rankin his asking price if they couldn't pay Reid what he was asking for.

Don't think many people in Alcoa want a coach who is ready to retire...I understand they're looking for someone who will be around for a while (meaning more than 3-4 years). Also, I heard they're looking for somebody with ties to Blount Co. to increase the chances he'll be around for a while.

Could be wrong, but hope I'm not.

How do you know what Rankin's asking price is, since they are still accepting app's? There might be a big difference between his "asking price" and what he is making at Riverdale. I would venture to say the Alcoa job would pay $10,000 more than what Rankin makes now.

Just assuming, that's all, taking into consideration he'd be going from a 5-A school to a 2-A. Plus, there's a lot of work that the hc does that he doesn't get paid for.

If he already did get offered the job, there'd be a whole slew of ticked off parents, that's for sure. I don't think the admin is that stupid (I would hope not, anyway).

The deal is done and for your info its not just about asking price. It was pretty much a done deal this past weekend. They can take applications until christmas but unless steve spurrier is interviewing rankin will be wearing Maroon and Silver. He's the perfect choice. Won't be intimidated by coming in behind a back to back state champion coach because he is the DADDY. Alcoa will be consistent now, and be very capable of beating Maryville even without muti D1 athletes (like last year and the year before)simply because he can outcoach most men. Very similar to Quarles huh? The two best coaches in the state in one county. Man i'd like to live in east tn. for football season.

The Alcoa vs Maryville game will take on a new significance now , won't it???

 

Rankin will do a heck of a job there.

If you are a ticked off parent I hope you keep it yourself. Gary Rankin will be in charge. And he will not hesitate to show you so. If you dont believe me, look at his track record. You might not like him, but you will love the results.

Not a ticked off parent, but glad to hear he won't take the crap from parents or kids. That's exactly what we need. If this is true, it's going to be an interesting year!

Oh, and, TURBO: The colors are maroon and gray/white, not silver!
