Didnt mean to upset anyone. Lord knows i have no idea. It's ok. I just don't mention names I am hearing because I don't want to cause problems for them in their current positions if they don't get a particular job they have applied for. No big deal. Others don't feel the same way, and that's fine. I do know Russ. Good football coach, solid resume. His prior head coaching gig didn't turn out great, but whose tenure at Cumberland County has turned out well? He's coached on both sides of the ball, has a state championship ring as an OC at Farragut, and he is a classy guy, to boot. He was on the Powell staff when my son played there, so I have seen his career progress as a coach. He would be a good fit, in my opinion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His time at Cumberland County was better than his record showed. He had them competitive in games they not been lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamblenHaymaker Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Worst thing SD could do it hire Partin. Guy is a disaster, he will run off any respectable people affiliated with that program. Everyone in Knox County is pulling for Partin to get it.

I knew Russ when we was a Farragut and seemed to do a good job calling plays. His personality seemed a little abrasive, so not sure how well he would be received in the community or as the head coach by players, but that has been a few years since we was here, so maybe he has changed. Anyone know a timeline on this hire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a Clark Duncan personality, but if that's what the community is looking for then they are going to be disappointed no matter who is hired. Clark was unique. Russ has solid experience on both side of the ball and he is respected by his peers. SD would be fortunate to have him follow Clark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
