EK Slaughter out at Cleveland


Recommended Posts

Well, coach, you obviously have different ties to the school than I, or our ties are telling different stories. Guess we'll have to see how this all unfolds.

 

 

I actually talked to the horse and he said they called him and he told them he would listen to what they have to say after the season is over. But the horse told me that most likely the only job he would leave for would be a private school or an out of state team. He will not set himself up for an opportunity to fail. Private school you can recruit and out of state if it had a large talent pool. Both = money and opportunity to win. Not sure if Cleveland will be able to offer both. And he is the one who said Brentwood coach had been contacted also.

I have to agree on most of this. Rankin would be crazy not to listen, but has a sweet deal now and things going his way. Why take on the rebuilding job at Cleveland, other than for the challenge (excluding money) and run the risk of failure?

 

His smart move would be to Georgia, to build a second retirement account at higher pay, or a private school where he really can control what he has to work with.

 

And remember, he was a candidate for the job at Cleveland before and the deal didn't work out, because of certain conditions, so what is to say it would now?

Alan Jones has deep pockets, so I'd think out of respect Rankin will listen. But he need look no further than the last Alan Jones project (Slaughter) to see how Alan operates. Plus, why would any sane person leave the Alcoa program for Cleveland's?

Hard to believe he'd be sharing that kind of info openly. Even harder to believe he'd want anyone sharing it here if he did.

    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach. 
    • Looks like Trent Noah was released from his NLI at South Carolina with intent to pursue playing closer to home. Kentucky and Louisville both reported to be in the mix for him now.
