Job opening at Warren Co.

Who every the new hire is, that coach has to be able to bring in an entire new staff.

 

 

I don't see that happening. No coach can ever bring in a complete staff of 8-12 guys. Most schools don't have that many free teaching slots for coaches unless they are math or science teachers. Are any of the current coaches wanting to stay or worth keeping?

LOL. Rankin, really? Why there? Would make NO sense for him. On a serious note, obviously the program needs a change, someone to believe in and get behind that won't run a New York Jets style offense. Good luck.

 

New offense? Really? This past year had over 3500 yards of offense, what's wrong with that?

[utchuckd]

From my recollection there weren't but maybe a couple of non-tenured coaches that can be replaced. There were 3 non-faculty, so either find more non-faculty or find 3 spots for them, then, what, 4-5 other spots that need to be filled by either current staff or find that many positions for new coaches. That would be a show of support.

 

Scott Smith would clash with everybody in this county.

 

Maybe Willmore can bring David Pack in here?

I don't think Scott Smith likes Nunley Stadium!!!

There are only 6 paid assistant coaching slots in Warren County. When Rankin was at Riverdale he only had 6-8 paid assistants. According to Gary, the rest were volunteers.

Is that freshman thru varsity or varsity only?

[frontrowbro74]

Good question. I asked him how many he had and that was his answer. I'll ask him when I talk to him next. I just thought since he was over all of football at Riverdale he meant total. Never assume anything.

That was just 'Varsity', Freshman team had about 8 of their own and they ALL worked together during the Varsity games. At one time R'dale had more coaches on the sidelines than some teams I have seen in Tennessee.

 

I do NOT know how many were paid 'coaches', but there was a BUNCH at one time.

I was talking about paid coaches since everyone on here wants to say that Warren County will not let a coach bring in people. A new coach here might want to go to some of the past successful players and coaches for volunteer help. It would be a good thing to get folks like Danny Martin, Alan Lynn, Bobby Newby, Pedro Paz, Billy Rutledge etc. to volunteer along with whoever the new coach brings with him. We can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. I don't think anyone can or will fault the previous staff when it comes to teaching boys to be moral men, but I think that the new coach should start from scratch like the basketball coaches did. Whether they are paid or volunteer, we need to get people who have been winners to be able to teach and expect winning.

Per the TSSAA you are only 2 non faculty coaches. All others have to be teachers.

[utchuckd]

Anybody heard any names that have sent resumes in yet?

[frontrowbro74]

Per the TSSAA you are only 2 non faculty coaches. All others have to be teachers.

2009-2010 TSSAA bylaws page 8 states 3 non faculty coaches for football and 2 for Basketball. Any retired/non employed teacher/coach with 5 years experience and holding a valid teaching certificate can coach. this alone would allow for 5 volunteers from the hypothetical list I used previously plus the 6 regular paid assistants. Any team should be able to do well with a head coach and 11 assistants. No matter how we look at it, we need to get the best people in as soon as it is possible. Have heard that there are around 30 official applicants plus several inquiries from the range of assitant coaches to some ex professional athletes. I have not heard any names other than the same rumors going around that everyone has heard. I would like to say that it is good that there is so much interest and that the coments on this thread are staying so positive!
