Clinton

He coached 1 year there, was a position coach and middle school coach before that.  He had his hat in the ring for every head coaching opening this off season.  He was turned down by Clarksville NE.

Keith was coach at Tood County Central in Kentucky. They went 6-5 last year. He is a former Army guy who is BIG on discipline. Sounds to me he’s exactly what Clinton needs at this point imo. They were a primary Shotgun offense with some pistol looks. Keith was also the teams DC

Our community is a very political place unfortunately. Hopefully folks allow him to coach and not run him off the first time he upsets the wrong kid/parent.

Gotta be careful with the disciplinarian approach.  That works when a team has an established record of success because everybody wants to be a part of a winner.  Not so much when the ceiling is 3 wins per year.  I wish the guy good luck.  it is more fun when Clinton is good.

There is a reason why we can’t keep any decent coach that we ever get. The parents in this town doesn’t allow a coach to coach. Our AD is a pushover as well which doesn’t help the cause. He tries to satisfy the parents it seems .

Honestly, this one is puzzling.  They passed over qualified, proven applicants to hire a guy from a lower tier 2A school in Western KY.  The teams he beat last season were a combined 7-57!  He was a position coach for a couple years before that and coached middle school.  Best of luck!

We need new administration so bad at Clinton. Our AD totally blew this hire. Not good at all If we passed up Ellison and Lane for this guy.

They definitely passed on Ellision and other qualified coaches.  Lane, I could understand because, I don't think he is certified.

Look them up on unapproved website (the nation's most popular high school sports site) Maximum Preparatory Athletics and on hudl for some video...  almost anyone in the greater Knoxville area.  Lane among them.

I am pretty sure that the 8th grade son of the new hire was another reason why. He is highly thought of I’ve heard.

Time will tell if he can even make it three years son or not.
