I think the biggest question about just about anyone would be longevity. If you hire someone other than Gearheart or Dougie, how long before they look to hop to another program? Does Rady Look to bounce if Floyd Central is open? We have already seen Ricky Thacker hire young coaches outside of the program and it has bit him both times.

I don't think Mason Hall leaves either.

Maybe not but I’m sure it’s a question inside Thacker’s head. He has to know FOR SURE this coach is going to stay. That’s why I’m wondering why Harold Tackett is so high on his list. Harold is already semi-retired from teaching so just how long will he keep coaching? I feel like you have to look at someone who you know will be there 4-5 years down the road.

I said the same thing about Harold, wouldn't see him staying very long if he did take it. As is the issue at most places, it's tough for a coach (especially young) to come into a position and try to succeed and build something, mainly just because you have a combo of administration/parents who won't stay out of the way to give them a chance to build something.
