Mark Payne has stepped down as Head Coach of Madison Southern. I wish Coach Payne the very best luck. He is a good man. 
 

Any names for this job potentially?

I had someone tell me privately that Coach Payne was pressured to resign.

Anyone?

One would tend to believe that by the way his letter starts out, "To Whom it May Concern".

That and the "future of the program" part.

At a minimum, I wonder if Madison Southern is a good place to coach and how much support the football coach will get from the Super and Principal.

The superintendent also has Madison Central to keep happy too, correct?

This late in the game screams that they have someone in mind.

Maybe. On the flip side though, high school basketball teams haven’t had district tournaments yet. Baseball hasn’t started playing games. I assume most football off-season programs are in their early stages. The season is around 6 months from opening kickoffs. Yes, it’s later than some, but I wouldn’t call it “late” yet. 
Now if a school makes a change during spring break, now that would be a different story! 

Hearing possibly Tom Greer on this one.

I’d say done deal unless he backs out.

I have no insight information. On the outside looking in, I’d be shocked to see Tom Greer take this job. 
 

Again, phenomenal coach. Not a name I expected to see in contention. 

Any updates?

I was told that it could be an inside hire.

The job was not posted as of this morning. Would make this very possible. 

Hearing Tim Kirk (current DC), Mark Scenters, or a name from TN I’ve not gathered yet.
