Looking for help on Whites Creek and LEAP. I know I read something about turmoil at WC this year with assistant and hc. Looked like LEAP coach had it rolling after a couple years. What is the situation there? Any information on either job/area would be appreciated. Current hs coach in the Northeast looking to possibly make move south. Looking to gather as much info as possible about state athletic rules (transferring/open enrollment, off season workouts permitted, etc.)

Coach at LEAD Academy took a job at a 6A school in ATL. LEAD has had a lot of success the past few years. I think there will be a lot of interest in the position. 

Talent is drying up, not as attractive as you would think.

Is the Overton job still open? Not from the area. What can you guys tell me about talent/history of the place?

John Overton High School job goes to John Hopson (former assistant with Maplewood boy's) for their position.

Without naming the school, I recently put my resume in for a head coaching spot in the Nashville area. Got a return email inviting me for a 15 minute interview. Now, my resume clearly showed that I live approximately 10 hours away......I put a call in to both the AD and principal after receiving the email, requesting for a phone interview. Neither bothered to return a call. Told me all I needed to know how things are run at the school. I am assuming this isn't typical behavior at "well run" schools.

Hopefully you pulled your name!

Hoopscoach,

In the last two years I have had some interesting experiences with Metro schools. I applied to one school and was contacted by their principal four hours later. We talked for 20 minutes on the phone and since I was out of town at the time he set up a phone interview for noon two days later.  He never contacted me again... lol

I was also contacted by an AD this year who wanted me to interview. Three days later I was told they were going in another direction....smh

It is who you know around here.  Records, accolades and reputation for an outsider mean nothing.

In fairness, it seems to be who you know almost everywhere...

Lexington promotes assistant Keith Runyon to head coach. Will this work for them?

Runyon is a good guy and the kids seem to like him, so he doesn't have to overcome that obstacle. There are some pitfalls that he will have to be careful of though...without "outing" what some close to the program think, it will be an uphill battle to be better than mediocre. The problems will become clear soon enough.

Talent hasn’t been and still isn’t there to win. They haven’t had really good talent since Marshall graduated. Hopefully they will give him a chance. Not sure what some close to the program are thinking but mediocre is the norm in Lexington

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
