See Prepxtra.com story. So if Pharr is leaving, who gets the Farragut job? I think the names we will hear are Larry Simcox (former UT and parent of FHS baseball player), Fred Corral (former UT pitching coach), Matt Buckner (currently at Bearden and has guided them to strong years, formerly a Pharr assistant at FHS). Any names across the state that I am leaving out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTV Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Incredible! Not really. Pharr came very close to taking that job before they hired Kent Matthews. Great hire for CAK. That says a lot about where they want to take their athletic program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 ROD Delminico gets the job.. I mean don't he have a son on the team? I say he'll be the one they look at.. What you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod, Larry, and Fred back together again at the HS level? Can Farragut afford it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Rod, Larry, and Fred back together again at the HS level? Can Farragut afford it? Slim, D & Freddie back together would be a strong combination at any level much less high school baseball in Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says a lot about where they want to take their athletic program. I didn't know that. In fact, when I heard the rumor recently I gave it absolutely no credibility. Shows how much I know! At face value I would not have expected him to leave the tremendous program he has built at Farragut. Tremendous hire for CAK. An outstanding job by the CAK administration to bring in that caliber of a coach. In my book, CAK is on a role with their new girls soccer coach, new boy's basketball coach, and now the new baseball coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Kolinsky was a stud and carried them when he was on the hill, who else will be coing back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigger101 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Wow. I thought he would be hired away at the College Level not going down to a small private school. I know he loves the area, church etc. What kind of bucks did CAK throw his way? I see CAK being a Power House in that area in more than just Soccer. The ed is great, price fair and with the additional of the new public HS folks in that area are looking for a small school with the feel of community. I know of some great young families with great kids that come from athletic families who love it there. Good Luck Coach and CAK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfreak2307 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I will expect Buckner from Bearden to take the job. He has done a great job at Bearden but just hasnt got past farragut when needed. So why not go to the best team in AAA the past 4 years?

ihavenofriendzz Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 My vote goes to Rod Delmonico... but he has to be a teacher to be able to coach. Don't know if he is qualified... so he may be out of the question just because of that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
