Question is now, would Lane even want the job? He got passed over once before and he has had some health issues lately. Lane is a great man and coach, but I would not be the least surprised if he turns West down this time. He should've had this job 2 years ago and they went elsewhere. Mite he go elsewhere now?

Bold man lol

The real question is, if he is truly interested, is Knox County willing to give him "another" opportunity?

Since Dr. Ding Dong is no longer running the school board anymore keep in mind that Buzz Thomas was a Maryville grad and former football player and still comes to the Maryville games  will be his ticket in the door if he wants.

I don't think there is a chance that Rang comes back to Knox County. There are plenty of opportunities out there, and just about every single one is better than Knox County. Honestly, other than using it as a "springboard," why in the world would a young, proven, up-and-coming coach want to take a coaching gig with KCS these days?

Pretty much. There's just not enough financial incentive to entice a guy like Rang to come back to Knox County, even if he left in good standing. I don't want to get too political, but the same argument could be made for retaining quality KCS teachers. If you can't pay them, you will eventually lose them.

Yes, and I have heard a lot of politics are involved, but I know you would rather not get into that!

If Coach Rang not hired then a mistake. He has a compionship under his belt. He had 3 championships at Maryville as a player. He's single and football junkie. If would be my first choice especially having coach at the program

Is this Derek Rang wanting the job himself? Sounds like it. If Rang got the job he'd be gone in two years if a better job opened up. I want a coach like Lane or Coach Marc Giles who will stay at West and keep the excellence of the program going for a while.

 

Permanent not temporary is what the next coach needs to be!

    • And that needs to go, Charter ,private ,magnet,city and any school that operates differently than pure public schools should be separated. What really needs to be done is address urban and rural. About all the usual powers have access to several kids from other schools period.
    • Sad deal. Hate it. So the coach that kicked her off is now fired?? 
    • Slightly off topic from a gender standpoint but just observed several boys volleyball games in the Knoxville area for a short spring season. The guys seemed to have a great time. There were several club players on each team but several football, basketball and tennis players involved. Knoxville Catholic, Maryville, Heritage, Knoxville West maybe William Blount had teams. Thanks to Coach Brent Carter from Knoxville Catholic/K2 for getting it together. I’m sure the coaches involved got several laughs trying to coach guys that really had no idea what they were talking about but pretty athletic and competitive. Catholic’s best basketball player told the coach he had played a lot of 2:3 and 1:3:1 but never a 3:3 LOL Maybe it will catch on with some more schools next year.
