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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

What does CAK have coming back in baseball? I know Kolinsky was a stud and carried them when he was on the hill, who else will be coing back?

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.

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?

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...
