Hearing rumors about E-town head coach Ross Brown heading a little bit north to a private school.

Is this the same coach?

 

 

Yes it’s the same coach. It’s a mess right now. In less than a month Etown has had their superintendent, girls basketball coach, principal and possibly head football coach resign…

Stating the obvious, usually mass resignations are indicative of in-house problems. Teachers and coaches oftentimes leave because of administrators. Sometimes administrators will resign because of other administrators, sometimes they'll resign because of their school boards, sometimes it's because of other pressure within the district, and sometimes it's because of none of those things. Here's the timeline of events in the Elizabethtown Independent School District. So where does the problem start?

April 27 - Superintendent Kelli Bush announces leave of absence effective May 1.

May 4 - Donnie Swiney resigns as girls basketball coach at EHS after 7 years as head coach and many more as an assistant coach.

May 24 - Superintendent Kelli Bush announces resignation after 3 years as superintendent.

May 26 - Amber Courtney named girls basketball coach at EHS.

May 30 - Ross Brown resigns as football coach via text message. No word on whether or not the official paperwork has been filed for his resignation.

May 31 - Thad Elmore announces resignation as EHS principal effective July 1.

Amber Courtney left Bardstown via text message, without so much as a single word to her varsity players.

To me that's a terrible look. And if I'm being honest I don't think it's a great hire for EHS. 

 

Confirmed….Will be interesting to see how the Panthers move forward this late in the game.

Wow.

He will not find a finer man to work for than Mike Jackson.

Is the AD still Glenn Spalding? Who are assistants that would slide up to take the job?

Glenn left a couple yrs ago. He’s at Nelson Co.

At this point I think you almost have to hire from inside due to the timing of it all. 
 

There are a couple of assistants that could probably take the spot but I would think the DC Quentin Brown would be first in line. He’s been an assistant in the program for 13 yrs and stuck through 3 HCs. He also graduated from Etown.

There are several local coaches who have expressed interest in this job in the past.

You could always bring back Coach Brown's Dad to fill the roll for the year.

This will be very interesting to watch.   Couple of Assistants over at Central Hardin who may be interested as well.

 

Bump.
