Well, because the parents at East Ridge don't have any say about who they hire. But I will tell you this. Joey Thacker would have a great oppurtunity to start something great if they will let him coach his way and not with who's already there. Start from scratch. Get rid of all the coaces, including the JV and Junior High that's coming in next season. I know that Robert Kiser played at E.C., but, he's not a coach. He's selfish and doesn't care about the kids. Just talent. And Brent Belcher will lie to the Devil to get you to agree. He doesn't have a clue how to coach. Steve Taylor and Lincoln Bentley do at least try a little. But just think, Joey is an assistant right now. To come down here and bring the Frankfort style of playing football, might be what the program needs to set it off. And the kids hearing about the success he's had down there, he'll get some more the the kids interest that otherwise declined to play for Branham, who only had a weak record at Betsy Layne. That's why he would come down here. He's got some clout and it might be an opportunity to turn things around at East Ridge. It'll be tough though. The kids attitude wll be the toughest to change. They're so used to losing that they expect it. Maybe he can get them to change that way of thinking. What do you think?

#1 I still don't think he takes it
#2 They better have a better position with Joey Thacker than I think they do because they stand to be in worse shape if they wait to get another late hire with no spring practice, no summer schedule set ahead of time and another unproven young coach with little to no head coaching experience
#3 0-10 is a mindset that will take a long time to change and so far they haven't given anyone time to change anything more than two years
