You think it's Partin?

It's been my policy not to mention names on this forum when it comes to speculating on coaching vacancies, but the one you mention should definitely be on the short list.

I don't know him but I know a fella over here that told me he was pretty good.  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.

His time at Cumberland County was better than his record showed. He had them competitive in games they not been lately

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?

Disagree with you 110%  

Russ is a solid football coach.  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.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team 
    • Grandma from Heaven looking down at the field to see if that gulley washer rain this past weekend sent to make a dent on that paint that some are claiming washes off of turf. Nope looks like Krylon Tough Coat.
    • I was just talking to a guy the other night about the basketball impact.
    • Who would want that job?  Can win just no chance of winning at a high level.
