I am not a candidate for the Lincoln County job. But, if @Mr.Network accepts the head coaching position, and @theguru is on staff, I will commit to setting up the pylons before the game.  According to my old coach, Larry French, that is about all I am good for. Lol 

I tend to believe you are a little more valuable than that.  But then again, Larry is rarely wrong.  At least that's what he told me once.

They have not interviewed and I don’t think either expects they will get one. 

That's a shame if they don't interview those boys.

Agree. 

The record speaks for itself on both. They helped change the Lincoln program with Crutchfield. Both played at Lincoln. Both are Lincoln guys. It shouldn't be in question. I have heard that one of the two has moved on and is assuming a Coordinator position could be a better alternative. But I'm still confirming that.

Yes. I’ve heard that as well. It would be a great fit. He has plenty of options in hand if this doesn’t work out.

Out of respect those should have been the 1st 2 interviews. If they aren't looking to hire them then they should tell them up front so they can make other plans. Its not fair to lead those boys on. Sometimes the writing may be on the wall. If I'm in their shoes I would wade through the middle of it and ask the decision makers if I'm a legit candidate for the job. If I'm not then a lot of things get pretty clear in terms of options. The other thing is can those boys make it work together cause there is only 1 top spot. Just some thoughts.

I want to say That none of them have been interviewed yet, but I can’t confirm that, I know their have been phone calls but I’m not sure any of the top 4 has had an “official” interview. I’ve heard the only 4 in consideration is

Levi Rogers

Craig Foley

Josh Jaggers

Mark Scenters

Thank you! I just kept hearing conflicting reports, so I was just trying to confirm, thanks! 

What are the expectations from the community for the up-coming seasons? Between these 4 listed, what would be considered a "good first year?"

Keeping the kids interested and buy into the new system. The community needs to support whoever they hire and keep the wheels rolling. As of right now I know of 2 kids that are transferring from LC to north on 27. Hopefully they can turn it around quick in Stanford because I know some that are losing patience.

Are these two kids big pieces of the team? I hate seeing a coach come in, the community place unrealistic expectations on the season, and the coach being ran off due to those expectations.

They may be just following what they know, so much uncertainty right now, but I would advise against them transferring, not sure what they are going to get there that they won’t get @ LC other then the coaching staff that they are used too. Mind boggling to me, but to each their own they have to do what’s best for their kids, we certainly did at my house so I get it.

I know one that was a freshman who played quite a bit on both sides of the ball. Not sure on the other right now. And this is not hear say. Came strictly from an assistants mouth.

The programs look to be heading in 2 different directions if you ask me. Not really mind boggling when one team will compete for the district title the next few years and the other is rebuilding from one of the most talented senior classes in recent history.

A .500 season would be acceptable considering the talent they just lost. Davis, Amon, Board, and Harris are graduating about 90% of their offensive scoring from last season. Those 4 also acounted for the majority of their rushing attack as well. The new staff will have a lot of pieces to build on and win games with. We lost a lot of size on the O Line and D Line. The strong side of the OL are all gone along with Bowman at TE. Losing Taylor at C, Young at G, and the Stamper boy at T are going to be hard to replace. They have 3 solid linemen in Mullins, Griffin, and Hanley. Mullins should be a monster at T and Hanley should have a great season at G. Griffin should can play G or C and all 3 have had significant roles as sophomores and juniors. The Day boy and Foster kid should be some solid young O linemen ready to step in. Shouldn't be any fall of at QB with Sawyer Horton. His brother Seth and #4 at WR should give be reliable targets in the pass game. The Lane boy should be a contributer in the run and pass games as well.

On D same story as with the offense. Lost 3 BIG guys on the line in Linville, Greer, and Miracle and speed in Board. Bowman, Harris, and Amon graduating leaves big shoes to fill at LB and then on the back end Davis and the Hurt kid will be hard to replace as well. LC has some solid dudes on D still. Seth Horton and the Gibson boy should be solid LBs on D and Mullins and Hanley play both ways on the line. They should get another young DL back who was out for the season after the 1st game. Duncan and #4 should have two of the DB spots locked down as well. A lot of opportunity for young guys to earn starting spots for sure.

This was a big senior class with a lot of guys contributing on both sides of the ball. So with that much of a loss of experienced talent and with a new HC, a .500 season may not sound great, but it wouldn't be too disappointing with all things considered. 

Whoever the new coach is he needs to get in the hallways ASAP. First guy I'm tracking down is the Garr kid who flashed his freshman year at RB and then sat out last year. The kid is special and LC needs him on the field. There was also a DE that should be a junior who played his freshman year and then sat out last year as well. Kid had a wealth of potential and could help immediately on D.
