Blount Tries For Meadows

[Guest NineInchNails]

Word is around the county that William Blount is actively seeking the employment of Scott Meadows of Jefferson County (formerly of Alcoa). And I have also heard that the offer is an offer than can't be refused. That would be a great pickup for Blount but a HORRIBLE decision for Meadows. What do you girls think?

[F5HallOfFamer]

I don't believe that is true! I hope it's not true, because why would he leave Jeff. Co. for WB?? I don't think Meadows would do that!!

[Blue21SallyAt7]

doubt it. Tim Hammontree is the name i've been told. Hammontree applied last time the job was open and they chose to stay in house. They'll do good w/hammontree if what i hear is true.

[GovMan]

Hammontree did not apply for the job last time AND at the present time William Blount IS NOT "actively pursuing" anyone. They are accepting applications and resume's from anyone who is qualified for the position and wants to apply.

 

If any --- and I say if --- pursuing has been done, it has been initiated by Meadows.

 

Just keepin' it real.

Hammontree is going to stay in GA and make that money, 5 kids is a lot to take care of, and he needs the GA money. He does not want to come back here and mow yards anymore.

as i said before, i HIGHLY doubt meadows applied. Meadows has alot of talent coming up at Jeff Co and i dont think he would leave. Where are you getting you information from GovMan? Everyone said the same thing when the Alcoa job was open, and Meadows never applied for the job? In my opinion, it's all hog wash.

Govman didn't say Meadows had checked on the job. Nineinchnails made that statement. I maybe wrong but I don't think Meadows will be back in Blount Co. for some time to come, if ever.

North Gwinnett isn't a bad job. I would be surprised to see Hammontree leave it to coach at WB. The only reason I can think of is if he's gotten tired of Atlanta. But North Gwinett is in the suburbs, so its not too different from coaching at a place like MAryville.

Wait and see guys ... wait and see. There are so many variables to take into consideration ... sure money is important; success of the program you're at is key; but don't ever rule out the lure of being back where you grew up or being around family and friends ... not only yours, but even perhaps your wive's.

 

Blue Sally you asked where I got my info (incidentally you did notice didn't you that I wasn't the one that said Meadows was interested or that WB was interested in Meadows). That's what's great about the old GovMan ... I don't get it from anyone ... I make up almost everything I say on here ... pull it out of thin air.

 

But oftentimes, I'm a great guesser!!!

Word is that Meadows should have be committed if he leaves Jeff County for Billy Blount.

[Guest NineInchNails]

I don't know, girls, I'm just reporting what I've heard from a HIGHLY reliable source at William Blount High School.

moving back home would be a determining factor, but meadows grew up in roane county. He play at Rockwood. his wife grew up in maryville though. i still say it's all hogwash. he wont leave jeff for a few years, if at all. If he does leave, i dont think it would happen b/c more than likely he'll take a pay cut wherever he goes
