That's just a tough job.  Kind of figured this was coming.  Been some back channels worked to gage interest since the middle of last week.  

It wasn't too tough for Scott Meadows back when I was in school there.

It's a totally different day, my friend.  And a Scott Meadows type isn't going near there right now.

Good luck to Shad and WB. The good folks of alnwick deserve some excitement!

I just can't see many coaches wanting to touch this job.

Maybe a young coach who has never been a HC before would.. or an assistant who is currently on staff. Probably not going to be very many current Head Coaches apply unless they want to take on a challenge.

I wonder what would be said on that hiring thread 7 years ago had anyone known how this tenure for whatever reason had gone.

What if GQ resigns as the HC @ ETSU before even coaching one game, just to take on the challenge of leading dem Govs to the promised land? Never say never. - The Red Sea was parted after all!

If William Blount people that are in charge had a brain at all they would ask Gary Rankin to come over and help rebuild this program. Face it Alcoa people are in love with their assistant coach and want Gary out. What a better way than to go cross town and eventually give Alcoa the big F U when you did finally want to retire.

He’s only won 10 or so state championships @ Alcoa. He needs to win at least 12 to get the fan base completely behind him, in my opinion. Do you blame them for being upset?!

Agree…but it’s not an awful job. There is football interest, though it needs stoked some. The worst part would be finding out that admin doesn’t want to help.

Right now there are 7 elementary schools that feed into William Blount and guess how many midget league teams come from those 7 schools, none. A real hustler would have two and possibly three teams formed and going and spending as much time possible to make sure it does. That's your future right there and one of the past coaches bad mistake for letting happen. 2,700 kids go to those 7 schools and you can't get a youth league team started but their having to go to Maryville and Alcoa and guess where their going to stay once they get there.

Seems to be a lack of true interest!
