I seriously doubt Brad was contacting or would even consider taking the job. He is a good friend of mine and was prol the best pure athlete to come out of Sheldon Clark or the 15th region in the last 20 years. He played a few years in the minor leagues but stayed injured most of the time and never really worked hard enough to make it to the show. He lives in Grayson now and seems pretty content with his job and being a husband and dad. I'd love to see him brought in as an assistant in all 3 sports but I seriously doubt it will ever happen. If he is offered the head job in any of the 3 sports Mark Blackburn should be run out of town because he isn't qualified, especially in basketball. I've heard from someone in the boards office that Roger Harless will get it. Current Belfry middle school coach Bobby Varney has been mentioned. He's a young guy who's hungry and eager for the opportunity, I personally think he would do a very good job. I've also heard that ex Tug Valley and current Miami of Ohio assistant Frankie Smith applied but I doubt thats true. If it is he would be a no brainer for the job and hands down the most qualified person.

As far as baseball goes if I remember correctly Tiller was an assistant coach at the high school level in Mrytle Beach, SC. Not sure the name of the school but I'll due some research.

I agree that just by playing pro ball wouldn't make you a good coach but I feel that Tiller has been exposed to much more of a baseball atmosphere than most coaches. So I disagree that he wouldn't be qualified for a head high school coaching position. Besides Tiller probably has several contacts in many baseball organizations where he could probably get great advice to help the younger Cardinal players.

I haven't spoken with him in years but I know that he use to be involved in many camps and would probably want to bring the same type of atmosphere to Sheldon Clark.

Besides if the Cardinals don't want him maybe Lawrence County or Paintsville could use him.:Thumbs:
