Did Kilgore Resign at Powell?

[chasescott66]

Any truth to the rumors?

He is going to. He is taking the Job at Karns. This is a mistake. Karns is getting a younger version of Meadows. A man that does not care about the school he is at and will bounce around. You have to ask your self why anyone would leave Powell to take Job at Karns.

Nothing official from jersey smithy.

IMO...this post is incorrect because Meadows is a winner.

 

Maybe Kilgore is taking the Karns job because he knows there is not as much pressure to deliver results?

it is true, Smithy isn't the only guy who knows Kilgore is the guy my brother said his son told him last night.

Less pressure....at Powell, he can go 7-3 and get beat in the first round of playoffs and the season was a failure......at Karns, if he goes 7-3 and makes the playoffs, they are ecstatic.....if he does it over one or two years in a row, they would put his statue outside the stadium.

Jake that is so true, sad that the AD didn't want better for the kids someone who would be a WOW factor, I guess as it as been said by me and others coaching not that important in Knox county, maybe Karns can get a project grad status and get some of those recruits floating around that Fulton doesn't get.

AE is project grad as well. What was their record this past year.

No established coach in a smaller system is going to leave their job for a Knox Co job, just a fact.  Karns probably only had about 5 applications of people that could even hire.  Kilgore was probably the most qualified, even with his modest experience.  Why he would even apply remains to be seen.  Look at Central, they have had to extend their posting 3-4 times since November.  Their principal has even called prospective candidates, guaging interest.  All of them declined.  It's just the reality of the system.  Halls had the same problem last year, and had no other options but to give it to that interim guy.

Project grad is more or less designed to help less fortunate inner city kids. That's why AE and Fulton have it. Every other school is leaps and bounds above those two when it comes to financial funding of academics so Karns will have to find a different way to get the program in the right direction.

What if someone who is currently on an NCAA D1 staff, who has been a coordinator at both the high school and college levels, applied at Karns, and was told he didn't have the experience they were looking for?

That be the dumbest thing ever as far as quality but maybe Karns was just wanting to have a guy they could semi control.
