@dawgs82 and myself thought it was going to be done last week with an internal hire. The rumor mill kicked a fuss about Cummings but that was hogwash. Then something happened after that and they continued interviewing for days. This has been a search fit for UT fans.

Edward, I don't ever remember saying anything about an internal hire, I've never mentioned any names, never implied who was or wasn't being considered. I've tried to be informative without disclosing information that shouldn't be disclosed. And these next comments are not directed to you. I'm out, done with CoachT. I'm over the trolls that 95% of the time could care less about the topic of a forum, but want to see what crap they can stir up with someone's comments. My only hope is that their sarcastic posting on here isn't indicative of their daily lives, that would be sad. Done!

From my perch at West High it sounds like JJ is the new king in town.

From what I hear, Jones confirmed to several folks that he got the job. If what I am hearing is correct, it sounds messy. As a long time West fan, pardon if I chuckle a bit.

If this is true, I'm sure Mr. Potts will be pleased.

Ugly on Powells end or on Beardens end 5A?

Woah! If the last couple posts are true, kind of a shock hire. The guy I’ve been in contact with just said the other day that interviews were done and they were internally deliberately with the intention to name a coach by Friday. Sounds like they have met that deadline.

Wow, this is interesting. I will be very surprised if central office approves the hire of an AAU coach. What happened to the days of coaches being involved in the school?

If this is true, I would assume that he's being hired as a TA.
