I know some members hate this and some absolutely love it... but at least it's not week 5. Ladies and gentlemen, the regular season is over and what is the rumor mill saying about coaching openings?

 

Spill it.

Here we go....3...2...1...

623 views and counting but no talkers... back to the top we go.

Florida will be open, SMU is open, Kansas is open...Michigan?

I've heard I'm currently the favorite for the Florida job.

That's weird.. I heard that too

I'll play.

 

- CONFIRMED: Pelham, Alabama is open. Let go of Brett Burnett (Elizabethtown, Fort Knox and M-NH, I think) after 10 seasons. He was also AD there.

 

- RUMOR: Trinity will definitely have a new coach next year, win or lose. Has nothing to do with on-field performance, health or school issues. According to another message board, he is expected to get a different job not at a Kentucky high school.

Would love to hear more about the Trinity situation.

 

Louisville Jtown is open

What's wrong with Jtown?

I believe that Gary Weiter only took the job on an interim basis to finish out the year. Based upon a thread a I read earlier in the year the parents ran off the previous coach (although who knows the real reason).

JTown should get some good applicants. It's going to take a few years but the talent is already there. Going to 6A with T, and Ballard the likely district favorites year in and out. I was impressed with the skill and size of the Chargers. I didn't think they had much structure. Hopefully the next person gets them on the same page.

 

Makes you wonder why some Louisville schools are successful and others stink.

It's amazing how often this is brought up in the midst of coaching searches/openings, and how quickly it's forgotten once a hire is made.

I agree but this situation is especially true.

I heard something the other day about Mack Brown.....that he had THREE 1-10 seasons in his first few years of coaching. I couldn't believe it.

 

Sure enough, I go to researching and sure enough. He had THREE 1-10 seasons in his FIRST FIVE YEARS of coaching @ TWO different schools (Tulane and North Carolina).

 

The National Championship winning, brought Texas out of the dweller, Heisman Trophy coaching (twice)...Mack Brown.

 

Amazing.

 

A little random, but fitting I thought.

Jackson County is open
