I support several of the athletic programs at HV as my kids attend. Was close with former AD, Brown who’s now with KCS downtown. 

Now if it was a track/XC guy maybe brown could help. He does not care about football whatsoever

Still no word on a coach at Hardin Valley. Should be  enough time to name a few candidates and a possible front runner

Betting they're more worried what this idiot baseball coach has done than a football coach right now.

Might be some news on HVA, and I am not talking football coach, by week's end or the first of next week.

With the AD run off will that delay the hiring of the new football HC until they hire another AD, or will the powers that be wait until right before Spring Practice? Is there an interim coach in place to run winter workouts?

There is an interim coach in place.  

With the weather shutting down the schools and central office for at least 10 days, it's likely going to be a while before anything is done.

HVA is just not a good football job. Football is way down the sports priority list there.  Until the discouraging of students playing multiple sports ends from some of the coaches there football is going to be playing shorthanded.  

No offense to some guys, but they need a younger coach with some energy instead of an older coach looking to find a place to end a career.  

With HVA being one of the top 10 or so high schools in Tennessee in terms of enrollment there is absolutely no excuse for not being competitive in football.  

 

HVA is not a good football job. Coach Miner gave it a good try, but I understand kids just aren't bought in and don't want to practice hard or give effort. After they started losing, they went in the tank, plus add to that the schedule is too brutal with Bearden, Maryville, Bradley, Farragut to not be ready to play every Friday night, Heard some of the parents were brutal too, that can drive any coach to quit, and there is no way you can please them all. Administration has got to be bought in too, and there seems like a lot of turnover there now too.
