LaVergne's Hester resigns

[workinprogress]

Mose and Law from the Creek resigned. Mose accepted a position at HuntersLane. Law left for personal reasons. Its in both local papers. Speculation in the papers was that Law resigned over the incident after the Pearl Cohn game.

As for the La Vergne position its obviously not Mose. Thompson is still the logical choice if its a metro coach.

Do we know anyone who has "officially" thrown their name in the hat?

Sad part is that Melvin is an ex coach himself, and should know how this delay in naming a coach is going to cost this team's progress.

I would say 'Melvin' is NOT the reason the new coach hasn't been named. I would say the delay was in Nashville and Murfreesboro. 'Rumor' has it 'somebody' in Nashville is getting greedy in their demands to grace us with his presence.

Nah, just checking the housing market in case anyone comes with him.

Only problem is the mythical 'he' is not coming to R'dale and is not bringing a state championship ring with him, so I would advise not getting greedy.

I was just reading the HuntersLane board and it seems as if Armstrong and Elrod were both mentioned as possibilities of coming along with the new coach. Armstrong I am assuming is Doris (not sure on the spelling.) And of course if somehow Elrod were to come in you could look to see another wing-t hybrid team in Rutherford County. I know you all would hate that!!! Could be real interesting to see what all happens. If it is Thompson he will need some good help in my opinion. Elrod would be a great choice.

How much progress could have been made last week? Between teacher's in-service day and snow there was almost no school?

 

I think big questions loom such as:

 

Does the strength coach stay (along with his son, the best athlete in the school)

 

and

 

Can a new coach get guys such as hoops power forward Adrian Mahin in pads and a helmet.

Is Thompson a "done deal?"

Elrod is a good one. A real asset to any program. Yall's QB is a real stud. Keep the Dad happy is what I say.

My sources say that a disagreement with "Daddy" is what led to Hester's resignation to begin with!

I think you misread that HL thread.......I think Elrod has simply retired!

I also suspect Armstrong would stay at Maplewood; he is probably real reason for Maplewood's recent success.
