Everything I have said is my opinion, of course I don't know 100%! But I do talk directly with the principals and board members each and everyday and I was just trying to keep everyone informed on this situation. Not one person has been offered the job, but the list does include who I mentioned earlier and right now my $ would be on Tommy McKenzie or Matthew Perry. Perry has expressed a lot of interest and has visited JC this week for his sons little league tourney and for a camp. He would take the job in a heart beat if offered. McKenzie should IMO be given the chance to take over the program but like I said not everyone feels comfortable with his lack of experience as a coach. And for everyone saying the hire is up to the principal you are correct, however, at JC the board pretty much has the say over Mr. Whitaker. Trust me on that, I attend every board meeting. Whitaker will offically make the hire but the boe will do more than throw out a few names. And yes only 1 of them are pulling hard for Tommy McKenzie to get the job. I have no knowledge to how the actual process plays out but I do have the knowledge of what goes on at Central, but it's okay, talk about me all ya want, I love this board and all you mountain people so I'll keep posting

The last 3 hires at J C were by the H S principals: Hall, Matney & Starns. Each by Trimble, Trimble & Whitaker. They may have asked for opinions from Board Members, who wouldn't? Your BOE is supposed to have a lot of experience in the hiring process and relations with the public. But I believe that one of the three hires was not wanted by the BOE, but was made anyway. It would surprise the heck out of you also!
