Craney steps down at Central

[HTV]

Done deal.  

I look for a former state championship winner in Knox County to land there.

Cummins?

I could see this being Kevin Lane

This was long overdue. The program has had no leadership the last 3 years and they barely had 40 kids on the sideline. A new voice was needed.

I could also see former OC Simbeck getting the job.

Tough deal for Craney, following the great teams Bryson Rosser had there, I suspect he lost some good players to the recruiting schools in Knoxville. Central can win, but they have to keep their kids at home and go get a few too.

Kevin Lane would be a great choice for Central and I hope he gets it if he puts his hat in the ring.

Once the KLF doesn't suit your needs then try, try try again.

As much as I love Coach Lane, I can definitely see this great guy, great coach, and great with players and students would be a great hire. However, Central has a former defensive coordinator who was at Bearden who has been very vocal on his thoughts of Coach Jones after Coach Jones fired him because, well, he really wasn’t good at his job, when Jones first came here, so if Coach Lane does get hired which would be a great hire, that guy's job would definitely be in jeopardy, so I don’t know how much of a push he’s really going to make for it. But if he does get hired, I will definitely be keeping track of Knoxville Central high school football more often.

He lost kids because he didn't play the right kids. He played up to the parents. Rosser played the best kids available. He wrecked a Ferrari.  Rosser keft that team loaded with talent and most of the good kids quit because of the favoritism

This is tough to follow. Who did Jones fire?
