Tranquility Base Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 My first call would be to Tim Sullivan. At this point, I don't think he walks away from Cooper, but he is a Holmes alum a proven winner and a great coach. He at least deserves the CHHS administration's attention.

However, despite all that, I'm not sure he'd want this job or if it would be a good idea for him to take this job right now. I don’t know Sam but he isn’t exactly Red Auerbach. He isn’t in a position in his career to say “ no not at this time.” If he ever wants it, now is when he can get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe he could get a better job than what Holmes is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooksville Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Sam did a great job as the girls coach at Bracken County. He coached Bracken girls for two seasons and Pendleton boys for four seasons. You can’t just look at the record because at neither place was he lucky to have a talent. He will put in the work and in my opinion the #1 person Holmes should offer the job to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurecoach Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I have no idea if he would be interested or not. However, a good young coach that I believe could be a good hire if he is looking to be a head coach is Dan Penick. I could be wrong but I believe he teaches at Holmes right now, and has been an assistant basketball coach at Ludlow first under Dan Sullivan and now Aaron Stamm. He is a guy I believe would connect really well with the players and would get players out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are saying is "The right of first refusal." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, Holmes absolutely blew it the first time with Sullivan when he was ready to “come home” to his alma mater. Then the story repeated itself with Johnson. I wish them well but it would be insulting to call Sullivan “now” when the program is absolutely decimated and ask him to come save what many view as a sinking ship. Just my 2 cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked to see Sully leave Cooper for this job, and while I agree that it certainly doesn't hurt to ask, all of those good, "coming home" vibes are surely gone by now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Conner more likely than Holmes but stranger things have happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateral move at best, to a school right down the road from where he's at. Wouldn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TribeTime Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 My best guess is this will be Elsbernd’s job. He will be the applicant with the most experience and also coached on a state title Holmes team. Don’t overthink it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been Johnson or Elsbernd two years ago or stick with Carr, but the admin went with Perkins which everyone knew was a mistake from the moment it happened. Not a lot of confidence based on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why leave a program you built from day one to fix a train wreck? That going home concept is no longer applicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
