Even if Coach Thomas didn't get the head coaching job, I think he would be an awesome recruiter/assistant coach. I guarentee that he knows high school coaches all over the country plus he is so energetic and relentless. MSU should hire him as an assistant coach because I know he could recruit all over Kentucky knowing all the high school coaches.

It was, the sports writer writes an article every friday and today's was about Coach Thomas.

 

I take it Denver Brown isn't writing anymore?

He's the old sports info guy from Morehead State.

I think the new coach will be announced tomorrow. It isn't coach Thomas. Word is it's an assistant from Xavier.

I don't believe Coach Thomas even received a phone call from anyone at MSU. I think he is at least deserving of a phone call.

On a lighter note, I did see Coach Thomas taking a few pies to the face at an elementary school's fundraiser in Rowan County yesterday. Good to see a coach get out and support the community like that.

I'll confirm this to be true and no a rumor. The press conference is at 4 today.

Whether they had zero intentions to hire him or not, I think its bush league to not at least call Thomas in for an interview. That, of course, is just my personal opinion. I love the AD to death as he is a great guy and also a great fraternity brother of mine at MSU. I just feel that it would've painted a "nicer" picture if they would've included the hometown hero in the interviews.

Agree.... Very Bush League!

I heard Coach Thomas went to an elementary school fundraiser on Sunday in Rowan County and volunteered getting pies thrown at his face. I have a nephew that goes to that school. That shows you what type of person Coach Thomas truly is about helping kids all around. I happened to run into him and asked if he got an interview. He just smiled and said that it wasn't God's will. Coach Thomas has a great attitude about people. I can tell he's the type of person that cares for people.

If you're not going to hire the guy, then why take the time to interview him? What would that accomplish?

I agree with him, I don't see any point in interviewing someone if they are not being considered as an option but I think a simple phone call to thank them for thier interest and to inform them they are not a canidate would be the professional way to handle the situation. That's just my opinion though.

I do think places like Morehead should give guys like Thomas a chance but don't you think MSU and Hutchinson have done a good job of getting high profile assistants to come to Morehead? Mitchall, Tyndall, now the new guy from xavier(sorry the name hasn't stuck yet) were all pretty good hires for a school that many think can't compete. Go HEAD!!
