Karns Rumors

[Oak Ridger]

Is the Karns head coaching job open? I'm hearing they've hired Jeff Minor from Oak Ridge. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

[rolltriberoll]

Karns' head coach Fulkerson has resigned according to an article in today's Knoxville News Sentinel.

 

Don't know anything about his replacement.

Good luck on hiring a new coach

Knox County policy is that the job has to be advertised for two weeks after the written resignation has been received by the personnel office before any interviews can be conducted. The Fulkerson resignation just happened in the last couple of days, according to the story in today's News-Sentinel, so there is no way a hire could have been made yet. If this hiring follows the history of recent openings for a head football coaching position at other schools in Knox County, it will likely take at least a month to get it done.

I heard Ron Grey applied for the position. He went ahead and sent in his letter of resignation with his resume.

I think you got it backwards. He should resign before he accepts, cause we all know that he will not accept when and if it is offered to him. Save Karns from offering by resigning before it is offered. He just wants to stay in Oak Ridge so that he can try and continue to make their life miserable.

Does anyone know where Spencer Riley is these days? I know he worked with the Lineman 3-4 yrs ago. Hung out behind the visitor's fence one night when they played @ Bearden, and he seemed to be doing a good job. Really passionate, making adjustments, coaching technique, etc.

I doubt Spencer would come back to a high school job now that he has broken into the college ranks. I think he has his sights set on moving up.

well coach minor is such a better choice because his offense did so well with out # 1 carrying the ball every other play.........

Thanks HTV. Yeah. He is gonna be a good one. I know it's hard to coach "attitude", "work ethic", and "toughness"; however, those things that he showed as a player seem to be just what UT needs in a OL coach. That is what they have lacked with Marrone, Stephens, and the current powder puff.

It also helps when the #1 QB that the whole offense seemed to be built around gets hurt. And not to mention the abundance of talent he had on the offensive line. If coach Gray is such a great coach why is he not coaching somewhere???????????????
