flatandfast Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 tdntn is correct. The renovations were on the drawing board when Tim was still at Oakland. Butch has pushed for the IB program and the drafting program, and has plans in the works for even more things. He has tons of ideas and resources to make Oakland great. The Booster club is responsible for the amazing indoor facility and has worked tirelessly to see it accomplished. They deserve ALL the credit for it. The players, parents, and current staff were involved in a lot of fundraising for it as well. Oakland isn't the work of just one person.......it is the work of many wanting to see it return to greatness. Now back on topic......I am hearing two names in the forefront coaching wise......Bobby Brown from Lebanon and Wes Elrod from Wilson Central. Got my info from the City Cafe in the Boro. I like the idea of Coach Elrod coming to Oakland. He knows his stuff and is the main reason for WC's success this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearfire Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 We have had problems in Franklin County since Mantooth was forced out. You know this. Mantooth was done dirty. Ask anyone from Jackson-Central Merry if they would let their teen-aged daughter be alone with Collins in his office. Ask around and you will find out why. Smyrna fans need to ask why Steve Carson is calling Oakland daily when he should be worrying about Lincoln County. Oakland fans need to ask why Carson is Rick's #1 candidate? They also need to ask in FC why Carson didn't get Head Coach when he applied. Rick told Steve he was conducting all interviews.. This is getting really old reading all this bashing of good people and good coaches. Carson has not had the first contact with Oakland or any other school for that matter regarding coaching positions, but he would make a great head coach for somebody. It's also time to lay off of Britton, Collins, and Mantooth. This post is about possibilities for our Patriot opening. GO PATS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2priceless Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I will echo what was said before....leave Collins, Britton, and Mantooth alone. There is no need to say anything negative about any of them. All are good coaches with scads of players willing to testify as such. Crawl back under your little rock, rouser, and stay there. Time to hibernate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemCityCoach Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Question for someone in the know can it be done at Oakland and will they make the commitment to a proven winner with a championship and a track record of getting it done where others couldn't. What kind of booster club support does the program have? What kind of time frame are they looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
