Nothing.  Only thing I know is they have interviewed only a handful of coaches and one of them was a current coach/teacher apparently at the school already.  I was told he has almost no experience coaching though but I can't confirm that.  Another I was told was from somewhere else and he has many years experience but I don't know anything about him other than that.

I heard the coach that applied there has had 4 years of high school varsity experience. 1 being at Oakdale, 2 at Stone Memorial, a 4A team that’s won the region 2 times in the last 5 years and this past year at the school.

Well there is also a coach that has 16 years experience and 3 state titles.  He applied for Greenback too which is how I know.

I have yet to get his name.  I know he is from Knoxville.  This information comes from someone within the school.

I’m sure if someone with those credentials wanted the Sunbright job the hire would have been done weeks ago instead of no coach being in place one month before spring ball

Apparently he was told that the teaching spot they would want him is isn't vacant as of yet but is supposed to be.  He coached at Fulton I'm told and I think Anderson County?  I could be wrong about Anderson County.  But he has 16 years experience as an assistant and the 3 championships was at Fulton I would have to guess.

 If this were true and I'm not saying it's not why the dog and pony show ?  Seems like a slam dunk unless it's not.... You can make the announcement the public doesn't need to know the teaching position.

Well if they don't know if a person is or isn't leaving and that might be the only placement they can put a coach then they can't offer a coaching job and expect him to take in on a notion they "hope" it's open for him.  They hire the classroom or job first over the coaching position unless they know they are not giving a teaching position.

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
