Hard to really tell. Coached at UTM for a few years but didn't have a good record there. Has bounced around a few high schools since. Not sure who all applied, so that always makes it tough to tell too.

Take his time as head coach in college out and he is 100 - 79 as a high school head coach.

Yeah, not necessarily the best records. Hard to know those situations, but leaves a bit to be desired. Hopefully he'll do well. Just always wonder who they said no to.

I think the middle school coach at Milan really deserved the position. He does a good with that middle school program over there, knows the kids better than anyone else, and seems to get the most out of them. Really hard to believe that he wasn’t hired!

Always a surprise when a school doesn't hire someone with a track record of success with a group of kids.

Sounds like the middle school coach deserved a shot. Also, makes it tough on the new coach if he doesn't go in and win right away because I am sure some folks in the community wanted the middle school coach to get it.

Very surprised the Milan Middle school coach didn’t get the job. Watched him last year and was very impressed. Any one know any thing about the South Gibson hire??

As far as I know Lexington decided for whatever reason not to bring him back and Lexington fans were not happy about that.
