Now that Coach Starnes has been named head basketball coach of Henderson County, where will JC go to for their next basketball coach. Will they attempt to do an outside hire now or will it be an inside hire? What do you think?

Good question!!!

 

My gut tells me that it will be an internal hire. Look for Tommy McKenzie to be the next head coach.

Is Tommy ready for a head coaching job yet though???

That is who I expect to get the job also. By the way, shouldn't you be working....lol......

He may be ready, but not ready for that job.

I played against Tommy in high school and after the fact. You couldn't meet a nicer guy! I just don't know that he could step into those shoes yet. Best of luck to him if he gets the job though!!...:thumb:

Yes...I should be working

If not Tommy McKenzie...is Morgan County's Coach Perry still a possibility? I know he almost landed the job a couple years ago...

Well, what is the word out there. I am sure there are plenty of rumors on who the next coach will be. Has anyone heard anything yet?

McKenzie deserves it if he wants it. He was a good player, He is a good coach. And more importantly he is a great person. The boys at Johnson Central will be better men for knowing McKenzie. If I had a son I know I would want him to play for someone just like Tommy.

Perry has ties to the principal i do believe, therefore he could land some extra consideration that way.

 

Good luck to JCHS and there search for a new coach.

Any word on this job? Is Tommy McKenzie the lead man for the job?

A question to ponder is...Since Coach Jim Matney has the Golden Eagle Football Program moving in the right direction does the school system put as big a priority on basketball. As am outsider it seems to me that football has become king in Johnson County. I'm not saying that one person or a group of people are causing a slowdown in the process of hiring a basketball coach, but football seems to be the priority due to recent success. For that matter Baseball seems to be inching in over basketball as well due to its success. Best of luck to JC, I've always enjoyed visiting as an opposing player, fan, etc..

JOhnson Central won the region in Basketball in 06.. All of JCs sports are doing quite well..

What's the timeline on interviews for Johnson central and what are the expectations for next season? Who returns to lead the Eagles?
