DKwildcat Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) Here is the BA coaching staff, according to their program: Ray Dalton, D Line: 43-year coaching veteran, probably going to retire withFlatt. Brad Perry, O Cord/WR's: BA Alum ('92), Many thought he was the heir apparent to Flatt. Played at Tennessee Tech, Spiritual Life director of the school. Best chance of any current assistant for the head job. Jack Pittman, D Cord: Head coaching material, probably not at BA. Played at MTSU Randy Locke, D Backs: Former Davidson Academy head coach, assistant athletic director. Phillip Montgomery, O Line: BA Alum ('88), played at Western Kentucky, has interviewed for other head jobs lately, ready for a head job somewhere. Scott Whitson, Tight Ends: BA Alum ('82) and parent, part-time assistant Mikki Allen, D Backs: BA Alum ('96), played at UT and spent time with San Fran 49ers, part-time assistant, probably not looking at coaching as full-time position. Starter on great BA '95 and '96 teams. Kurston Biggers, Runningbacks: BA Alum ('97), played at UT. Also teams strength coach. Has worked at D1 training. Probably focus on strength and conditioning. Starter on BA '95 and '96 teams. David Peden, O Line: BA alum ('97) played at Ole Miss. Young, 2-sport coach (basketball). Head coach material one day, probably not yet. Starter on BA '95 and '96 teams. Antuian Bradford, LB's: played at Vanderbilt. I believe he was more of a junior high assistant coach. Mickey Jacobs, D Cord.: BA parent, former college assistant. D Cord during BA championship runs of '95 and '96. Financial Planner, coaching is now a secondary gig. Also, I believe former BA, UT and NFL standout Bubba Miller has helped coach recently. Perry would be the obvious choice within the current staff. There seems to be a great mix of youth and experience. Also, a lot of BA alums, probably loyal to Flatt. I wonder what happens to the staff if the school hires someone from the outside. Edited December 21, 2006 by DKwildcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan6 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 What happens to the staff if the the school hires someone from the outside? Well the school has only done it once since it opened and we see what happened then. You seem to be our resident expert on what happened during Tom Moore's stint as head coach . . . what did happen to the staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head coach gets fired and Flatt comes back. Edited December 21, 2006 by my2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STARSNBARS Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) Not trying to stir the pot or anything, but an honest question. Will following a legendary coach like Carlton Flatt not be akin to anyone who has since followed Bear Bryant at Alabama?

Batts Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Not trying to stir the pot or anything, but an honest question. Will following a legendary coach like Carlton Flatt not be akin to anyone who has since followed Bear Bryant at Alabama? I don't think that stirs the pot. That is a good question. I think that Coach Flatt under achieved in his last few years. The new coach will start with a lot of current talent and plenty in the pipe line. That should lessen the chance.

fan6 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 The head coach gets fired and Flatt comes back. Every one of your posts makes clear what happened to Coach Moore. The question was about the staff . . . to my knowledge, they were retained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batts Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 The head coach gets fired and Flatt comes back. Tom Moore was offered a different job. He declined (understandably). Everyone else stayed put to my recollection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKwildcat Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Everyone stayed because Coach Flatt wanted them to stay. Things might be different if an outside coach is offered the job. To sweeten the deal would they allow him to bring some of his own staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sweeten the deal would they allow him to bring some of his own staff? What are you saying? A possible major staff shake up is in the works at BA? Is it not kind of late to be changing the coaches/teachers at BA for the next semester? Losing the teachers you grown to love can be difficult on the students.

With the talent on board (and not to offend any of the prospects)...anyone should be successful coaching them next year. It's called Chris Jordan sweep left, Chris Jordan sweep right.
