Lenoir City Coach

[fprex]

I would imagine he'll make more teaching/coaching (or about same) in high school and cut his hours down significantly.

 

Div III coaches don't get paid well, I don't believe. Of course, they might have other duties such as teaching a college course or an administrative duty that supplements their coaching salary.

LC boosters must have came up some money. Even though small college coaches don't make a lot of money, it's around the same amount that high school coaches make. LC is not one of the better paying systems in the state. Seymour pays a lot more money. Besides, he doesn't have to teach at Maryville College (if he did I'm sure its a very light load). I would be shocked if Todd took this job. But then again stranger things have happened.

 

Consider yourself shocked!

At this point nothing shocks me anymore. If he does take the job great hire for LC. However, Todd Wright will coach the team his way. Great pick up for the Panthers.

Question. Better District 4 AAA hire. Cowan @ Bearden or Wright @ Lenoir City?

[downtown247]

I think Wright is the better hire. He is fairly young and energetic and has a great track record of success at multiple levels and locations. He will do a tremendous job at LC as long as the parents stay out of his way.

No doubt Wright. I agree with downtown, the parents need to let him do his thing. Great Hire.

100 percent agree with QSouth89.... Wright is by far a better hire. I would love to coach against a Cowan coached team, which daddy pays more?

bbjustbb, they are getting ready to get all the driection they need with the Two new Coaches I hope the parents can handle being told to watch and not to interfere just be good supporters and spectators or their going to get their feeling hurt. In my world Coach Wright maybe be one of the best three High School Coaches in the State if they will leave him alone and keep the drama out it he will turn this program around and make them contenders.

It looks as if Lenoir City girls hire as gone the way of the Oak Ridge boys hire. They went from hiring someone with character to hiring a character. Just one person's opinion like everthing else on here.

[bballfan32178]

i dont know about being contenders? better maybe if you can keep parents out of it. surprised he made this move though.

[BBALLTN]

I think he really enjoys a challenge and likes being the underdog, if you look they really didnt get crushed by the teams in there District.

[adco]

this is a great hire he will improve this program very much now whether the players have the skills to win i dont know but he will teach them the game.

[fouledout]

had there bball banquet last night. he told the team he was not coming back. heard that 2 or 3 parents had it in 4 him all year and got there wish. we all know who they are!

 

Sounds just like the Seymour Situation... a few parents running the show.
