According to the Jefferson County website, Atherton is looking for a new football Head Coach.

Any word on what happen to Chris Collins? Kind of odd to be looking for a head football coach this late in the year especially with weightlifting and passing league coming up.

You need to look at the Trimble County thread for Head Coach. The answer is on there.

Is Atherton going to be able to fill this position before school is out?

I doubt it unless they promote someone from inside. I don't know that this will be a job that a lot of people will be beating down the doors to get. It's definitely a tough situation.

Dont know much about the school, but I guess your right. Who knows what they are going to do.

Have they named a coach yet? It's really late for a head guy to get started.

Kenny has been an assistant at Valley the past 3-4 years. Was Shawnee's HC from 2002-2004. Before that he was an assistant at Atherton. I believe he was an Atherton grad in the mid-80's.

Good Hire. Good Luck to Coach Walker.

What does pending JCPS approval mean? Does he have a history or reason they wouldnt let it go through? Why did he leave as the Head Coach of Shawnee?

All coaching hires must be approved by JCPS/Board of Education after the school decides on a coach before they are "official". The board meets every Monday or Tuesday.
