They have a short list. One in house guy and a couple ofclose by big names. One just across the river and one out of Memphis. I would be shocked if this is not over with very soon. 

The in house guy was Coach Pettigrew and he is our new coach. Guess I knew absolutely nothing of what I was talking about. Congrats big guy!!

Yep, you nailed it. You threw out all sorts of names, spoke of a ridiculous salary that was disproved by the newspaper, and they name Pettigrew. You should work as an investigative reporter. You were spot on lol

So are the Milan faithful happy with hire or not??

Knowing who was interviewed and who applied there were people who would be considered a lot more qualified that could have been hired.  However, no one will care more than Teddy. He bleeds purple and the kids will respect him from day one. I think he will do fine. Might not be the home run hire a lot of people wanted but last time Milan hired an assistant as the head coach I would say it worked out pretty good.

Great! Hoping Milan rises back to being the powerhouse they were several years ago!

Can you guys share any info on the new coach. All I know is he was a long time assistant and was a good player in high school/college.

This may seem odd because you are "sure" of your source, but I'd bet the farm on BPM and his knowledge of the program. If all the facts were laid bare, I figure he'd be closer than anyone to what really was/wasn't offered and to whom.

Thanks man. We definitely have the talent. Had it this past year but drastically under achieved. Maybe Teddy can help the kids reach their potential.
