Alcoa coach resigns

[coachinhoops]

Rumor has it that they are filling this position with an internal candidate. Does this point to an assistant?

Rumor has it that the new coach is already in house. Does this mean they are hiring an assistant?

AD told me he wouldn't be hiring anyone soon, and I don't think it'll be an assistant coach. Someone had mentioned David Marsh, but that wouldn't be a smart hire. He's been out of coaching since 2002 when he was the BOYS coach.

 

We need to look outside Alcoa for this hire. Justin Combs, Stephen Gregg, and especially Justin Underwood are some of the bigger names. Of the three, I'd shoot for Underwood and MAKE him tell us no.

 

Surely there are other qualified candidates who will apply as well.

Why would Underwood leave Bearden?

Why would Underwood leave Bearden?

Why not at least try to get him? LOL!

 

Obviously, we'd have to make him an offer he can't refuse.

Beam from Macon would be a good hire for some one. Stepped down from Macon after this season, but took Macon to the title game in 2010 and 2012.

Why would Underwood leave Bearden?

Why would underwood leave bearden. Same reason Farraguts coach Fultons coach halls coach south Doyle's coach or any coach in knox co. Money talent and facilities. Big money difference from knox co schools to Alcoa.

Which begs the question again, why did Tonya leave. The facilities are great.....the best. The talent, with Maryville, Heritage and now WB, not as much available. Money ...more at times than you can shake a stick at for men coaches.  Again, why did she leave. If it is money for the program, that will not change. Knowing in detail the history of this program for the last 15 years, the women's program is second...period.

 

Also, why did the neighbor school, Lenoir City coach leave. Probably two different reasons.

Hutch is just old lol.  I'm kidding we are actually really good friends.  He went to South Young, played for George Pitts.

Your dating yourself Q. He was around looong before there was a South-Young. LOL
