Knox Central Boys coach, Matt Mercer, stepping down..

[ultimatewarrior]

who do you think the top 5 would be?

[Turtle]

Chris Lindsay is a great coach, but times have changed and kids do not like some of his methods that worked 10 years ago.. I agree that he is a good coach but this would be the wrong fit! Dre would surely leave if this hired happened... We should find out son who is in the top 5 for this job.

 

 

I agree with you Lebron.. However, my question is why is everyone posting something about Dre leaving? I thought this was High School not college... hahah But Coach Lindsey likes that slow tempo and I think the Central players are geared more toward the up tempo style.. So will Coach Lindsey adapt to the team or will he be like Kevin O'neil and make them run his style?

Mitchell was at Carter for only 2 years after winning championships at LC. He took over a three win team in august and without a major influx of talent won 7 in his first season then won 15 his second year with close losses in Feb. to fulton, a-e and a brandon warrren led alcoa team. So what is your problem with that track record. He also was the first coach at Carter to get all the best players from Carter Middle to come to the high school so I guess they related to him well. Dominique Minor went to fulton when he left Carter. He left before he could enjoy the base he had laid.

So what are you talking about?

 

By the way ask Jody Wright or any other good coach and they will let you know that when you see a good coach you also will see great talent. Jody wears rings because of those great players the last few years and some of them were transfers. Mitchell helped him win one of those states.

 

Mercer had four college prospects on his team and I think three have signed. Now they are all gone so whoever gets the job will have to coachem' up. Good coaches seem to have good players.

turtle, lindsey was no slow down coach when i played against him...his "rebel runts" would press and push the tempo for 32 minutes.

With the job closing out today we should start to see who will be getting interviews next week. Good luck to all

[Thecatcall09]

Whoever gets the job has to understand that they have to put the time into getting the players there and understand what it takes to do that now days and the West teams I remember at West would run and gun...but we will see and I think that Stixx would be a good hire as well as Lindsay!

Ok what year was that? Because I know when Coach Lindsey coached at West when I was there(shhhhh, GO AE) it was slow tempo. I remember the scores of 29-25... or 31-21.. That's slow tempo come on now.. I know Dre wants to run and run and run.... I think Coach Mitchell of AE should go to Central, I think he could lead them to the state.. Just my opinion. ALso my opinion, I think Coach M. Mitchell would do a good job too

When Lindsey stepped down and Coach Petko took over that's when West became a uptempo type of team.

[QSouth89]

I think Coach Mitch Mitchell is the best candidate. Charls Mitchell isn't leaving AE.

Good Lord Qsouth, we know Coach C. Mitchell isn't leaving AE I was just trying to joke a little.. dang don't be so uptight hahah..

There was nothing slow about Marlon Bussell and Brian Dirl when Lindsay's teams were known as the Running Rebs.....

maybe coach lindsey was doing the best with the lack of talent he had when "turtle" played. what a joke; "turtle" is complaining about the slow pace!
