Amy Brown steps down at TTU

[foxylady]

Nothing yet.

 

According to HC, the screening process has started. 60 to 70 applicants. Hope

to have someone hired by Aug 31.

Aug. 31st seems like along time off since Coach Brown resigned July 1. That would be a two month hiring process...sounds like a problem with high school kids like Leonard committing to MTSU and Heady still in the balance. Seems like they would want to get this completed...UT Martin didn't take nearly as long and I see their staff out grinding the recruiting stone. Best of luck to who gets the job but they will be behind on the recruiting board.

Behind? Maybe as a head coach, yes. But the assistants are still in place, and have continued their duties, so recruiting wouldn't be that big of a deal IMO. Should be hearing something soon.

I really never heard of a recruit committing to an assistant especially assistants that in all likelyhood will be gone after a head coach is hired. A new coach will certainly want to bring in his or her own staff...I would think you would not keep staff members on board that didn't get the job done under Coach Brown. But then again a new coach may be forced to keep the current staff (not a situation many new coaches will embrace). Again, very slow process indeed if it takes two months i guess they are trying to save money!

The recruiters in place now, were recruiters under coach Worrell.

One is from Lawrenceburg via Columbia St. The other is a TTU grad from LA.

Thank you Jimbo. Exactly what I was saying. The work is continuing, rest assured.

[jimbo44]

I hope things work out for the best. There some tn girls commited/signed and more looking.

Anyone have an idea who the finalists are-any leaks went to affirmative action to approve then supposed to be bringing in for interviews

No leaks just rumors.

What is this affirmative action stuff? A good coach is a good coach no matter what!

Unless it is a CYOA situation to keep lawyers out of it. That would be a catch22, need a lawyer to keep other lawyers off your back.

[bkbfan30]

What rumors are you hearing-Im hearing a lot-can't keep up-You are correct a good coach is a good coach but I guess they are trying to be a school they takes care of its business on the front end instead of covering its tracks on the back end

[senator]

I believe a person has been offered the job and accepted it, no contract has been signed because the coach wants to advise their previous employer and tech has a procedure they follow on all new hires.

OK senator, who you hearing has got the job?
