I know of 4 names that have been interviewed. The 3 you named and Tim Taylor. The last word I had was the actual applications turned in were less than 10. So not as much interest as first thought. I'll ask for a total number at COB Thursday. I'll also ask for a projected timetable for a decision. Again...we'll see. I'm not involved in the process and haven't had much time to check on it. The newspaper isn't my day job.

Tim Taylor, or Jason Evans would be my choice for what it is worth.  I would apply, but I am under contract in Florida until June.  Either way that would be a good staff if you got both.  Jason is a good coach, it is wrong how he was done at Marion.  Tim is a good solid guy as well.  I think with either of those hires you could build a program.

Jason did not and will not apply. He's very interested in building the softball program and I think very content as an assistant. I assume it depends on who gets hired if he will continue to be an assistant. I hope he does.

 

possum the other "outside" candidate I know of I would guess you would approve of as well.

 

I'd also point out that the 2 internal candidates have solid reasons to consider them. Tommy has 12 or 13 years of experience and worked with 7 different head coach tenures. (Pickett and Brewer had 2 each of those.) Casey also has high school experience and took a middle school program that doesn't even have a middle school...and was also in shambles and turned them into an undefeated team. (with the help of really good assistants.)

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
