I don't pretend to have any idea who the new coach will be but if it is him, I think most anyone would leave Lewis County, wherever that is, to come to OR. I'll take any of the names mentioned recently...Rankin, Rang, Whitten, or Price! As for your response to whoever is hired, you won't like it at all because you don't like anything having to do with OR. If you do like the hire, whoever it might be, then OR fans should be concerned!

^^^^This. I’ve come to this conclusion myself. ILB just has it out for OR for whatever reason, and it’s obvious. We’ve probably smacked his team around for years upon years, I’m guessing, or it’s just pure envy, I don’t know. Never seen a guy who has zero connections to a program be so enamored with a team the way he is. His continual presence here speaks volumes. Nothing but negativity from that guy, if it pertains to Oak Ridge.

I need more info on Rang. Thanks.

He would be a great choice, if he ends up being the guy.  Maryville High and Maryville College lineage, who have both produced some great football coaches, and he is a proved high school football coach with a state championship on his resume as a head coach at Dresden.  Also spent a year as an assistant at Carson-Newman.  

He is a defensive guy by experience - played OLB in high school and college - but got really involved on the offensive side of the ball when he was the head coach at Powell and knows his way around that side of the football, as well.  Just a well rounded coach.  

The naysayers point to his moving around several times thus far in his career, but being in his  mid/late 30s now he's matured and Oak Ridge is the kind of job that he's been preparing for, IMO.  

Smartest football coach I have ever been around.  He's a calculus teacher, for goodness sakes.

I asked a question based on facts, and you got your feelings hurt?

He was Cumming's DC at West years ago.

What would SC tell him about the OR job? 

If they're friends at all, I'm sure they've talked...if this rumor is true at all. I doubt anyone is too concerned about what he might tell him or anyone about the OR job...other than you.

Your negativity about OR is blatant and consistent so I doubt his feelings are hurt.

my negativity about how the previous coach was released is blatant.  Has nothing to do with OR.  It's shocking to me that you're just willing to put your head in the sand and move on to the next coach.  A man with a family got jobbed for no good reason.  

 

But the coach you just referenced has been at multiple programs, resigned from multiple programs.  I don't know him.  I did see GP play a couple times while he was there and they looked okay.

 

But a guy that's bounced around would fit the bill for what I'd expect at OR right now.

Let me get this straight, this coming from a maryville fan. Everyone is turning the Cleve job down and you have a feeling of the next coach is gonna be? Lmaooooooo where are you getting your info from? And for the record Whitten has applied for the Cleve job the last 2 times but they wouldn’t hire him. Why because the administration at cleveland is horrible. And no u don’t know who the Cleve coach is going to be because he’s not even from the state of Tennessee. 

I can't be negative on Cleveland because they did go after some good coaches but they did get turned down and I know that for a fact. That's part of the reason it's taken so long. Go ask Mr Rankin and Mr Creasy what they offered them.

    • 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 .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • 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
