Now I know and agree that said current staff member is a "great guy" and all that, but he is not going to get the job. Putting that interim tag on him would only make your situation worse. You certainly would not have had two of the three candidates for sure that have been seen on campus or at said eateries that are considered the "finalists".

Are you sure said candidate is not going to get the job?

No members of the Board of Trust should have children or grandchildren enrolled at the school.  It creates too many problems and is not the image that an academic institution should want.

Here is my new fear in this process in this new era of sports. If a player and/or family does not get the coach that THEY want, who is taking their football and cleats and going to play on the other side of the fence? It's kind of like the NIL situation driving movement in college sports in other words. Not every player will feel this way of course but just thinking out loud on this one.

This is why you should always be nice to the kids that might not be on the team, that might not be big enough to play, or lack a little confidence, but want to win more than anyone.  You have to find the kids that are about winning and having a positive experience.  If you can rally around those kids, then often times you have found something.  There could be one Dutton in the bunch that can ignite a fire.

There is a trickle-down effect here for sure. Pandora's box has been opened. However, it falls back on the School(s) and the powers that be at each to act in a quick and decisive manner to ensure current players are retained and new players feel welcomed and wanted. This "new era" now requires timely decision making to avoid fallout and getting left behind. The Trojan Horse is hiding in plain sight. Get on, or get out of the way seems to be the only path forward now. :ph34r:

 

The oldest Trojan has the youngest foal staring into the Atlantic. There is a path to work together, and with everyone involved.   With the Sheriff involved, anything is possible.  However, we might have to reach out to RIP to help with volleyball at some point.   

Let's get football settled.   These things take time.   Although we do not like outsiders, if you bring one in, you have to bring in another Stallion with ties that knows the landscape to balance the power.    

The White Horse can handle the Trojan.   He is one of the few. 

Big Picture hire is to bring in Secretariat.

So, sounds like formal interviews are over. You have 3 former HC, from D2 & Public, and 2 Assts. Coaches, from great D2 programs, in mix. Who comes out on top? Good luck to all involved. Next salad bar on me for the correct pick/prediction. I 'll even ride my own horse. :motorbike:

Who do you think will get it? You are definitely in the know. :)

As I read through this thread, it appears that Playerscoach and Sackmaster50 both think they know exactly what is going on at DCA.  Almost as if they are working in the building, but that would be unprofessional to get on opinion boards and give out info that I'm sure Case, Singer and Goodwin would prefer to stay in house.  With that being said, not sure who to believe.  At the same time, if you are going to leak info, go ahead and go all in and put your big boy britches on and give us names.  HaHA

Big Den and DJ Paul wants Juicy J and so do the people.  All of us out East want it to happen, cause the bus is loaded up.  
 

Buck about to come through with the lineman up front real quick.   
 

If anyone has a problem, come see the Barber. 

Worse thing DCA can even consider.

What DCA should consider based on feedback is fixing boys basketball immediately.   And fixing basketball as a whole for the good of the school.    We can post records in basketball and anywhere else there would be change.  

Football will be fine no matter who they hire.   

The front runners for the job are good candidates, but not what they thought they would be down to.   We wish them luck. 

If loyalty truly matters, then be loyal.  Actions speak louder than words.   Right now with a birdseye view, there is only loyalty to people that are protecting their own self interests. 

It would be best for all parties involved.  

Those that choose to complain, will complain no matter what.   They are waiting for an answer to their prayers.  They want to see the school be successful.  They want to see winning at the highest level.   One bad decision cost a generation worth of alumni that care about the program.   But that can be fixed when those same people choose to come back.  

And that starts at the top with Keith and Dennis.   They need prayers.   Some would say, they need to get out of the way and let the Lord handle it.   I choose to believe there is a higher ceiling than many realize.  

Very simple process.  Hire people, not resumes.  If you hire the right people, it all works out in the end.   
 

The longer it drags out, the better the process for everyone.   There is no reason to be in a rush.

Be a fountain, and God bless all!

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.

      Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.

      No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.

      I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
