Who will Powell get for a coach now?

Slover isn't a candidate. The good people of Cocke County are keeping him stocked in White Lightning. He would be the best choice if he was though. Powell would out kick their coverage if they got him.

"The list of applicants, which includes South-Doyle defensive coordinator Jay Whinery, Farragut offensive coordinator Rusty Partin and Cocke County coach Caleb Slover, among others, was obtained by the News Sentinel on Monday through an email from Knox County Schools spokesperson Melissa Ogden."

So does that mean those 3 are the finalists or are there gonna be more?

I heard the mayor in Powell is having a secret meeting with some community folks at an undisclosed location tomorrow night to pick a coach out of the hat.

we already had that meeting, we actually narrowed it down to two and flipped a coin

New poster, long time reader here. I've been keeping up with this topic quite a bit. When do they plan on having a coach in place? I know that Powell traditionally has been a good job. Here lately, not so much, but is there potential there to turn that thing around and have a legit contender again?

all jokes aside it appears that the hiring committee has narrowed it down to a few very qualified candidates, Powell will bounce back a little quicker than implied in this thread in my opinion. With the new districts West and South Doyle should be the powers to beat but both lose a lot from what I've heard. Halls, Gibbs, Heritage, Karns and Farragut are the others on the schedule for next year that I can remember so a few more wins than last year is attainable. THe cupboard in Powell is not bare and the kids are still hungry, it only gets better from here.

My goodness. Your wanting a coach that took a team 3-7 and got whipped in four games like the one Fulton gave to you all at the first of the year. Then you want a coach that came off a team that will have the same eleven that started the game that will be in when the last seconds tick off the clock. I watched Farragut do that against Maryville so much I realize why they went down because that's old school football and they got left behind.  Don't know much about the other pick but I think you boy's need to run another ad for a coach or get yourself a new mayor because you can't afford another one and done or your football program will be a cooked goose.

I'm not going to pretend like I know who the finalists are. But I do know that this pool of 20+ candidates is much better than the pool that applied last time around. I'm just hoping for some actual stability, which is something Powell hasn't had since Matt Lowe's tenure.

I had heard you all mention another O.C. locally and thought that might work out just great but didn't see his name mentioned or may not have even applied. Just a few short years ago your in the championship game and now this. Unbelievable.

What was the other name you had heard?

What was the other name you had heard?

Well the name I kelp hearing on here was Ellison, so did he even apply. That would have been my choice if I had to go out and recruit someone. I don't have a dog in this fight but I would hate to see a team that was in the championship game just a few short years ago and then all the sudden it catches a disease like Karns or Halls and needs to be put out of it's misery.

Yes he applied and is a finalist along w Slober and some others.
