Coffee County

[windysports]

Right around 9-10 ... I saw the list of coaches that did apply. Doug Green, former baseball coach at CHS was on there, Pippenger, Nunley, Sisk, Wiggins, then there were three or four others that I can't remember off the top of my head. An assistant at Franklin County was one of them. 2P it is still looking like at least a week. This coming Friday will be a stretch. Duvall has given a shortened list with the interview teams recocmendations to Casteel (director of schools) and Joe Pedigo (deputy director). Now I'm really not sure what happens. But from what I understand Casteel will be calling the coaches and talking with them personally. So I'm not sure if Casteel has the final say here or Duvall.

 

 

 

Five men will be called back for an interview by Casteel. Then he will make the decission.

There are 5 names left that are still in the running. They are interviewing again next week with Mr. Casteel, then he is going to make the final decision. Guess what Pedo. One of the finalists is from Tullahoma. How do you like them apples.

haha they taste sour...just like they will to everyone in Manchester if he is hired. But honestly O-line, do you think he stand any kind of a chance? ....... And I didn't mean to leave Sisk's name out in an earlier post when I said Wiggins and Nunley .... I think it is between those three. But I heard today, from about as reliable a source as they come, that it was just three left. But if I got bad information and it is five like you say O-Line - I'm assuming Sam Melton and Pippenger are the other two?

who knows what happenes in the ivory tower

[wingman10]

4 out of those five would not be a bad hire

[windysports]

there is only two of the five that the community will get behind from day one! The sad part about this whole situation is that it should have already been filled and getting ready for the next season. We are depending on Duvall and a AD that knows nothing about football, if you dont believe me just ask him. it hasn't been to many years ago that we had 25 boys playing football now we have some where around 100, not a bad change. Then decission makers need to look in the past and see what was done to turn the program around, i think you will see that they involved the community and brought a pretty good coach in that new how to work in a program like ours. instead this time they are pushing the community out and depending on Duvall which is the one put our program in the shape that it was before Coach Price. She left Coffee and built Blackman to the Power House that it is. I hope that Casteel will listen to the community and do what is right for our program.

Blackman? Powerhouse? /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

 

While I will agree they are above average, they are not what I would call a powerhouse.....Yet!

 

Now 'if' they were in Region 3 they WOULD be a powerhouse. Be more likely to get R'dale than Blackman though when they realign Regions this next time.

 

I REALLY do hope y'all get a good coach that EVERYONE can get behind and build CC into a powerhouse in its own right as y'all deserve it. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I believe he was being sarcastic

[wingman10]

Mrs Duvall is a good lady.

you are right, i dont get a warm fuzzy with her making the decission or supporting the program in the future. She does not have a good track record!! six years ago the Director at the time formed a group to go out and find a coach that could turn our program around and they did, proved to be a good decision. Since then our program has about 100 boys, carried about 2 or 3 thousand fans to every away game and had huge crowds at home, built a 10 thouseand sq foot field house / weight room. The Community did all this, now they dont care about what they think. Go figure.

You are correct on one of them but the other is not Pip. I was told in confidence who the 5 are and will not release names on the t for everyone to see, but I will tell you this I have never heard of the other one before saturday. He does however share the same last name with a fairly well known coach.

I too think Mrs. Duvall is a great lady, but I have to say that I liked the commitee format. If you have the right people involved it can't be bad to have mulitple minds in on it. Coach Price did a fantastic job getting players and the community to buy in and turn the team into a program that can compete for a home playoff game every year, but it should be noted that he was no better than the third of forth choice for the job. Goes to show you a good coach can be found if you do the work.
