I was told that SW would be willing to open somewhere around 2-3, maybe 4, teaching spots for assistant coaches. That came straight from the principal at SW according to my source. That was during the application process before Christmas break. They may have budged on that with French though.

 

So there are jobs coming open in Pulaski?

Today is the day, right?

6 PM tonight at SW. An announcement and a one call was sent to all football parents.

Anybody have any insight on who the man is? Other threads are saying it's French or Ray Graham.

I'm fairly certain it's French but not sold 100% either.

Seems to be a done deal at this point, Great Hire by SW!

“I think it’s going to be fun. It’s going to be one of those deals where I don’t have a lot of years remaining, and I want to be happy doing what I’m doing and it gives my family a chance to be together again.”

 

This is the quote I can't help but consider. It's looking like SW is willing to take the short-term fix. Look for this process to be repeated in the near future. With that said, he's a good/safe hire.

 

Now my next question. What assistants does he have targeted to bring to SW?

What do you consider short term? I could see him staying longer than most think.

I'm just going off quotes from his last two interviews by the Boyle County newspaper. One last night and one following the conclusion the 2013 season. He insinuates often that he doesn't have that much longer left in the tank. This isn't hearsay. They're direct quotes from the horses mouth. That worries me if I'm SW. However, that is probably the ONLY thing that worries me with his hire.

“I have the opportunity to go to Southwestern and go in there and try to build the program. And I get to coach with my son (Steven) and that’s the opportunity it presents,” French said.

 

Larry thinks it's him.

It shouldn't. Southwestern very well could have just gotten its next two head coaches today.

Coach has been saying he only has one or 2 more years since 2005... as long as his health is in tact and he is having fun, I can see him going at least 4-6 more years. I think this is about all you can expect of about any coach at any school with the way things are going nowadays.
