Swung for the fences and connected. Big time hire for the Titans. 

This is a big hire for Mercer County. I know it is not any of my business but I am curious what it took to lure him away from Pulaski. He was really doing good things at Pulaski and they had a chance to be REALLY good this year and make another run. Is this job a better job than the head coach at Pulaski County? If so, why? 

100 grand, only teach weight lifting class, closer drive to home. 

Coach Burns is an excellent hire. Congratulations to him and the Titans! 

Wow, big time hire for Mercer.  Big loss for Pulaski.

Yeah, few aren't taking that deal! Hard to be upset at a guy leaving for that.

???Boyle County might have to watch their back in the area now. Mercer  connected big time on this one. Kudos to the administrators for making it happen! 

WOW!  Congrats Coach Burns!

Show me the few that aren’t and I’ll show you a few liars!
