Job Vacancies

You're a Central fan, so of course you want Kirk to stay at Alcoa, as would most of Alcoa's competition. If Alcoa lands a solid coach, they'll be dangerous, so the competition wants Alcoa to stay down. Tony Jones might not have been the best hire, but the Kirk hire was worse.

 

Raul Placeres would have been a much better hire than Tony Jones, and according to another poster, that's the direction they were going to go before Tony Jones. Will they go that direction again?

Have I missed the boat or something?  What is the connection between Alcoa and Central?  I don't think the two have any connection.

P.F. coach has resigned. Seems family still lives in Ga. and commute has made it difficult.

 

Turned over a few rocks and found out Alcoa boys Coach will return with full administrative support.

With Coach Kirk's family in school administration, that is totally understandable. He lost his best player and had a young team. I'm not quite sure why everybody was ready to throw him under the bus. The questionable hire in that whole scenario was the hiring of Tony Jones. He also was in a pretty tough district matched up with CAK and Catholic. Both those teams were fairly young too so I don't see Alcoa finishing better than third again.

Any one with any idea about the direction that Hardin Valley is going to go? They have been below average at a place that one would imagine a coach could win at.

Is HV officially open? Heard it might be coming open.

[Tackle14]

Didn't HV coach win district last year?  RedandBlack what school is PF?    

[865BB]

They were co-regular season champions last year

HVA was extremely talented two season ago. This past season Hardin Valley was 3-11 and finished 7th out of 8.

PF is Pigeon Forge.

 

Agree Hardin Valley hasn't performed at the level I thought they should. IF that job comes up I look for a Coach With in knox county schools make a move from a difficult situation and go all out for that job. Just needs to keep in mind that beating up on single A schools won't help build the program. Maybe up tempo can enlighten us.

Red there are inferences all over your statement with a "lil" bit of hostility! Any particulars you want to enlighten us on? What connection does up tempo have in all this? Did not know HVA was on the chopping block?

Just to clarify:

 

I have no clue who this ScottR guy is. I haven't posted much on here in response to his rumors about Alcoa because:

 

That stuff is WAY over my head, and I don't want to get in the middle of all that. Far as I know, Kirk will be back like redandblack63 said, and I currently don't have any reason to think otherwise.

 

Go Alcoa, Amen!!

Was the talent not there this year?  Does seem like you could get a lot of interest in that job, but what Knox. Co. coach would want it?
