No news yet, job was posted last week. Roger Haynes was the interim coach for  most of the season.

Saw they had 31 apply and narrowed down to 6 to interview this week. They will narrow that pool to 3 and have another round of interviews soon after. Interested to see who they hire, that's a TOUGH region to play in.

In 2015 Coffee Co came up here to Johnson City to take on Science Hill.    What was their QB's name?       He was one of the all-time toughest football players I have ever watched.        The kid seemed to thrive on contact even though he was just average size.        On a run play he thought nothing of plowing into 3 tacklers instead of just going down.     I was very impressed and it goes to show that toughness comes in different sized packages

Not just a tough region but a program with the least amount of talent every year and a successful program right down the road. They were able to benefit off of a bad region last season but replicating that will be nothing short of impossible in the RuCo region.

Your probably thinking of Alontae Taylor, who had a successful career at UT and is doing well in the NFL

Looks like they will potentially be tied into that region for the long haul too. Whoever gets this job has their work cut out for them. According to the article 4 of the 6 have "Some kind" of head coaching experience. In order to compete with these schools they better have FOOTBALL head coaching experience and multiple years at that hahaha 

 

I do not have a dog in the fight, just love high school football across the state, I'm a west TN guy so I appreciate the incite on the program as well.

HC experience isn't gonna matter in this instance. More important to find a coach that can attract talent. Coffee might as well be a C-USA team trying to compete in a P5 conference

Coffee County has had about 9 head coaches over the last 20 years or so.  They were a young team this year, but in a very tough region, it will be  difficult to even make the playoffs in the region.

Can’t believe it’s already been that long since he played at CC.

They can put Coffee County in this region, but not Warren County.  I guess  they are allowing Swallows a pass.

I guess they'd rather get beat by teams in Sumner & Wilson than RuCo. They'll still be a bottom feeder in either region
