Meadows is out at Knoxville Catholic

[QSouth89]

Catholic's schedule looks to be pretty managable. I saw on another thread, where they are playing at Anderson County next year. I know they are playing Kingston, CAK, at Alcoa and Scott County, at Hardin Valley and at Webb. I heard they are playing Morristown East, and possibly Sequoyah (but I didn't see Catholic on Sequoyah's 2013 schedule on another thread). I'm not sure about the final 2 teams. I'd like to see them keep on some of the 4AAA teams like Farragut and Bearden, but I'm sure that won't happen. Anyway, good luck in the coaching search and go Irish.

Hearing that Kingston's Blair Harrison is a candidate.

I know the defensive coordinator from Lenoir City applied....he was a head coach in California for 11 years. He worked in two private schools.

Sounds like the same guy who interviewed at Clinton two years ago. When the prin. Posted all the names in the paper I looked him up and posted about him back then. Catholic should not hire him though. You guys should hire this guy named Kerr (hint.....not Larry)

I posted the following article I had about Cortez last week but for some reason it was deleted. A good friend of mine moved so he could coach with him this season.

Not much activity lately. Maybe no one wants the job, or it is already a done deal?

Several good candidates, interviews are still happening from what I was told.

[QSouth89]

I was told that it was down to 5 guys and that the last of the interview process were about to go on in the next week or so. It's my understanding that the candidates are all quality coaches.

• Has Coach Meadows landed somewhere yet?

A friend of mine ran into him about this time last week, and he was still looking for a job.

 

Kind of surprised Catholic has taken so long to announce a new coach. I would have thought they already had his successor lined up. But, obviously, that was not the case. Now I wonder why they didn't give Meadows another year, being that they were moving down in classification. That job will be much easier for the new coach than it was for Meadows, with Catholic moving down.

I can't agree with you more. He took that job at the wrong time, it's almost like they used him to take a beating for 4 years & then when they find out they are getting to drop back down, adios.

 

Who are the 5 candidates?

[QSouth89]

@ Coach1076 I don't think that was the case. When Coach Pembeton left Coach Meadows (from my assumption) was the best candidate with really good credentials. For whatever reason it didn't work out. From what the paper says, he stepped down on his own accord. Who knows what really happened behind close doors, if you ask two people the same question you usually get two different answers. As for the candidates, its been real hush hush, with interviews being held this week.
