Larry Linville Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Personally I don't buy into the Chuck Norris has to ask Chuck Smith for permission to use the name mentality that many on here seem to have for Mr. Smith. He's an outstanding coach, no doubt but so are (or were) Dale Mueller, Bob Redman, Jeff Marksbury, Kevin Wallace, Chris Wolfe and others. Bob Beatty has beaten them all.

Xtiger69 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I’m confident X will make a homerun hire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguru Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I’m confident X will make a homerun hire! Who would you consider to be home run hires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpride94 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I’ve heard it’s going to be Lefors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLTanker1 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Moellers former coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinbad 74 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Think out of the box just a little bit, and hire Ty Scroggins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeuce Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I’ve heard it’s going to be Lefors. He's got a good thing going at CAL, but if X calls, you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Think out of the box just a little bit, and hire Ty Scroggins. Would be a great hire. I got the feeling from his comments when he left Central that he wasn't shutting the door on being a head coach again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple88 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm pretty surprised by this. But it goes to show you that THE GAME (X vs T) matters most. If you can't beat the other or at least once in a while, you likely won't last long. Close isn't good enough... I hope they get a good coach!

theguru Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Moellers former coach? I think Coach Rodenberg would be a very good hire for X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcjkbt Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 How old is Smith? Glaser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeReader Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Not totally shocked. Admin probably was expecting more out of this era, but was probably a good bridge between Glaser and the next era of Tiger football. I just hope the admin holds a fair and open search. If they do that then they’ll find a lot of quality candidates to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchs_uk9 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 How old is Smith? Smith went to play at UK in 1977 so I'm guessing almost 60. Since he spent several years coaching at UK under Rich Brooks and Joker Phillips I have no idea where he would stand on teacher retirement. With any private school (Newport Catholic, St. X; CAL is Lefors were to leave) you have to factor in outside employment for coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcjkbt Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Come to think of it, I believe Coach Glaser is about 64-65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
