Happy for you John from another Old Rebel ! What a way to go out , with a First Championship in 100 years ... storybook ending .

This couldn't have happened to a better man.  Congratulations to Coach John Olive and the Tullahoma Wildcats.  Glad to say I was a witness.

I can't speak for anyone in any official capacity. But I personally feel that we have at least 2 assistant coaches that would fit right in. If that that wasn't in the cards, despite what I read in the Knoxville News, I would welcome Steve Matthews back home to Tullahoma. I don't know what his status is as of today.

He was at the championship game… I can tell you that…

An outside candidate is not a good option.

Congrats to Coach Olive on a great career. I'm not sure who could replace him other than Coach Ligma. Would be a great fit.

Coach Olive always a tremendous man of integrity and respect. Even in the lean years. All the best to Coach Olive in retirement.

John olive was an outside candidate? Please elaborate on why this worked then but wouldn’t work now

From what I know, there’s a perfect candidate on the staff already, so why go elsewhere?  I’m not sure about the others, but the one I know is more than qualified, he just proved it to the entire state.
