It seems like it will be a great opportunity for someone.

Thursday & Friday have passed and no announcement was made.

 

I'll just sit back and HOPE that your claim of a Monday announcement now comes true since the last guess was missed

Matt Jones, Defensive Coordinator at Creekwood, is your new coach. It will be voted on Monday night at the school board meeting. You got the right man for the job. He will do good things in East and Friday nights on Hwy 7 will be exciting.

As a few guessed, Matt Jones was hired on February 1, 2007 to coach the East Hickman Eagles.

 

Coach Jones and his wife attended the HCHS vs Hillsboro game last night. He is fired up and ready to get his team together!

 

There is no vote by the Board as they only have one employee, the Director of Schools. The official announcement will be tomorrow, but the Hickman County Times has already made it public. Below is the article.

 

From the Hickman County Times:

An assistant football coach at Creek Wood High School in Dickson County has been hired as the new first head football coach at East Hickman High School.

 

Hickman County Schools Supt. Jerry Nash said Matt Jones, who also teaches biology, was the best of four candidates he interviewed. He had been ranked first by the search committee as well.

 

Nash said he made the offer on Thursday, February 1, and was awaiting a decision by Jones. The superintendent interviewed four finalists on January 28. Jones accepted later in the day.

 

"He has a strong academic record teaching biology," said the superintendent, adding that his Gateway scores were good. "He has enthusiasm - he just made a strong presentation."

 

Jones is an assistant under Chuck Daniel, a former head coach at Hickman County High School.

 

The superintendent said earlier that hiring a football coach was among the early priorities because of the equipment that must be secured, and because the program will be expected to hold spring practice.

 

Finalists included Michael Harrison, an assistant coach at HCHS.
