Overton's Terry Anderson retires

You may be right but I'm thinking gore or alum.

Not saying Gore is a bad hire, but on paper, he hardly sticks out as a guy that would be a good candidate for this job. Does he interview well? Popular with the players, anything like that? Overton is probably the best job in Metro right now, I figured they would do better.

Gore could have had the Brentwood job the first time before pemberton was hired if he had wanted it. He is good with kids and is a respected coach. I think I'll predict the alum may get this one though. Really depends on who Pelham listens to. I think some would tell him gore. Some would tell him alum. Some would tell him Fitzgerald.

I am hearing that new coach will be named middle of next week.

What defense did Overton run last year? Your "alum" did a heck of a job in a primarily 5 man front (didnt hurt that he had some great talent on that defense)

Overton had an even front. I don't know who the next coach will be but I do know Anderson left the cupboard fully stocked and he was very torn about leaving. He thought and still does think that Overton will be even better next year than they were this year. They have a great line coming back on both sides of the ball, a great TE coming back from injury, two guys who would have started at receiver coming back from injury along with all of the other offensive starters except Martin. Two guys coming back at QB that could start if Amadi is switched. I would probably have him play slot and try to get him in the open field more. All of the defense comes back as well except for Martin. If Overton can find a kicker they will have the makings for another good run. The schedule is pretty tough and even a good team could end up with a few losses. Ryan is always a tough game, centennial should be good with their stud rb coming back, ravenwood should be even better, and Hillsboro will be tough. Add in cane ridge that is always loaded with athletes and that could be five losses. Just goes to show you what a good job the Overton staff and team did this past year. Hopefully the new coach will keep things going.

Anyone hearing anything about who it will be?

Didn't Overton lose Lawrence, Scott and #27 off the defense this past year? If I recall they had quite a few seniors...

[workinprogress]

Not sure about those. They may have had some seniors but I know several key injuries forced new starters much like the burros had to do. The only real loss as a starter is Martin.

[HighLife]

Yea I thought they had quite a few but do return some good players. Will be some good early season games in Nashville next year as well as a great crop of talent as well

A top applicant withdraws his name from consideration.

Run I heard the same thing. I would say Overton has their coach. I think most of the current staff will stay in place. I think RC goes to Antioch. McPhail will be looking and I hope he finds a good job somewhere. Great person and good coach. As run already stated should be announced mid week.

So I'm assuming that Jay Gore has a commanding lead in the clubhouse
