Who takes on the Franklin County job now?

[volsrock]

• franklin county's non region schedule was tullahoma, coffee county and warren county. before i stepped down.  Community called and wanted to play and then just as quickly backed out.  As far as free wins go there are no such things, a win is anywhere you can get it

[devilsden]

Didn't think the regions came out till next week?  How did the former coach schedule games before then?

[REBELFAN70]

i would dare many teams in this area to go play South Pittsburg 1A school and consider it a free win!

most of the time there are certain weeks that will be open games depending on whether a team is in a 6,7 or 8 team region.  for most teams that usually means that that weeks 1,2,4 and 6 are non-region.  Most teams start working on there tentative schedule as early as possible, a gentlemen's agreement so to speak, if you wait to the region teams are all set you may have to settle with who is left over

The next Lee Atkins.  You may have to go to Arkansas now just like LEA.

Any word on who has applied for the job.  Be nice to have someone in place by second semester so they can put in their winter program.  By the way I heard that Carson may get the siegel job.

I have heard some names thrown out in town.  Don't know if any of them are even interested.  I don't think there is a shot at getting Carson even if the Siegel job was not available, but with it being open I would say he is out for sure.  I have heard McCurry, which I personally think is a no go due to past indiscretions, but who know I am no expert.  I know that would not be my choice.  I have heard several assistant coaches at other programs mentioned as well, but will not bring up any names because they might not be interested.  Some are former Rebels and some have played the Rebels a lot in previous years. I have also heard a name of a current Rebel assistant.  My vote is for one of these up and comers to start a new trend in Franklin County.  I would hope that a new coach whomever it is will be in place by Christmas so they can start working on a staff.

Any word on when interviews are going to start?  I have never seen FC this quiet about anything.  All I am getting is information from people that have as much say in the decision as I do which is none.

[rebelboy121]

Will the new coach have the opportunity to hire assistants or will the current assistants be in place.

[rampage]

Will the new coach have the opportunity to hire assistants or will the current assistants be in place.

It would be a good idea if they let the new coach pick his staff, but that has not been the way it has been done in the past at FC.  If they are smart they will allow the new coach to at least pick his coordinators, but FC being smart is a big IF these days.

i heard the school board is doing a in depth survey to see if their stipends are on par with other schools for assistant coaches, my guess is when they find out they are nowhere close they are going to have to look hard at raising them to get anyone to commit to this job!
