I hope that is the case for sure. Good young coach.

Be a great choice. However, he was let go the day before Wise was removed.

 

Who let him go, the AD or Coach Wise?

Josh Cook would be the absolute best Coach and Person you could ask for. The kids would benefit greatly from that hire.

Yes. I see that now, 2008-9 season

The AD states in this weeks Advocate, "if everything goes well applications for the position will be in this week and next and that they"ll have a new coach in place by sometime in mid-April."

 

This is the end of the second week. Any word on who has applied? When will interviews be?

I have heard from multiple sources that the job has been offered to Happy Osborne and it is just a matter of if he wants to accept the job or not. If this goes down, WOW!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it , but that is what I am hearing also. They even said he was in the area looking at real estate. I guess I will wait and see.

That would be a feather in MC's cap; also a great addition to the 10th Region!
