Most of the discussion with those who actually cared was bringing back Coach Thompson and getting 4 or 5 years out of him. Then having a young coach possibly a local assisting and then taking the program over long term. Problem is Smith Co isn't a long term type program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administration, alumni, and the community have to buy in. Good luck having that when you cycle through coaches lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me or does Carthage have a revolving door on Coaches? Seems they go through them pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Ash wasn't a basketball coach, was he? I remember that he was HC at Brentwood in football for 4-5 years a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's always been the talk Ash always fell in line with Rankin. Never been one at Carthage like Coach T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sicwitit Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 He will do fine at Smith County, they are loaded currently. Him and Ferrell will jump ship in the next 2-3 years after the talent base dissolves as is currently happening in the middle school around the county right now.

I'm just wondering since Ash how many boys coaches have we had? How many girls coaches? It's a revolving door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Smith Co but this new coach must have potential for them to pass on Coach T if he was interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
