ATLCat Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Predictable opening as Trimble basically was doing the right thing to close out the season and had previous HC experience at Johnson Central. This is a very alluring job for someone willing to take it on. Johnson Central has a ton of underclassman talent, but they also have a rock star feeder system already in place as well as very respected assistant coaches who do a great job. Tons of community support, very good facilities, and a winning culture. The question is, will they hire internally and try to carry on the current machine or will they go external and take a risk? One thing is for sure, it is some mighty big boots to step into. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKY_Football Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Gotta be an internal hire I would guess. Is anyone on staff capable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 As I understand it, the push is to keep this one in-house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arms was the first name that came to mind for me, but that's a lot for one man's plate. I think he's more than earned his shot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Colonels_Wear_Blue said: Principal and head football coach? Johnson Central’s baseball coach is also the principal at the Johnson County Middle School. The head softball coach is also the DPP of the Johnson County School district. In this district it is common to do both. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWTigers Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 The first question I have is does the new coach install a new offensive style (more modern) or is this style rooted in this school and that’s what the administration wants? If they completely change their offensive style it could set them back for a few years installing to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gchs_uk9 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This will be interesting. If I'm not mistaken, Steve Trimble, who served as interim head coach after Jim Matney passed away, was recently appointed to a position with the state board of education so you have to believe it won't be him.
