I really think Tom Greer is the guy. Just announce and move forward. Get the big Red machine rolling!

Could hear something in the next day or so. It appears there has been some movement with a candidate.

Corbin has moved on without Doug Preston. He was their first candidate. I'm hearing that the outside variables were too much to overcome. He has in fact removed himself from consideration.

Absolutely. They met in Franklin over a week ago. Job was offered. But other factors came into play. Disappointing.

CityBoyBlues · 02-04-2020, 08:35 PM

Hate to tell you but thatâs incorrect.

Not what Iâm hearing either and not disappointing to most either. They have narrowed it down to 2 candidates and neither was Preston from what Ive been told.

Sounds like Greer is 1 of the 2...who is the other?

plantmanky · 02-04-2020, 11:06 PM

Heard Corbin officials made a call to Mark Dantonio today to see if he was available.

CowboyDad · 02-04-2020, 11:34 PM

Corbin deserves a good, fiery young coach that wants to be involved from top to bottom.

I said they ought to pursue a coach like Jason Foley at Southwestern. I get heâs still a little young and maybe you can argue credentials but with the full roster of talent, heâs very capable AND heâs definitely the kind of coach kids would rally around. Won at Taylor County, and in the first year with a bit of a injury bug he won district at Southwestern which is huge if you ask me.

If thereâs anyone to reach out, donât overlook him.

Itâs hard to deny the guy has done well everywhere heâs went but I donât think heâs interested in leaving SW Pulaski ...wouldnât be surprised if he wouldnât be back on the other side of town one day if things where to change which made it possible...

Has anyone considered the middle school? I mean has he not been fantastic?

Yes he has been fantastic but who replaces Brent Jackson, heâs just such a good fit there and with all the intangibles he brings to the middle school program Iâd rather he just stay there...Besides Iâm not at all sure he even wants to move up and take on that much more responsibility...

OldColonel · 02-05-2020, 05:22 AM

I have never seen so many people that know exactly what is going on yet all of the guaranteed âfactsâ are vastly different.

How many state middle school championships has Louisville Central won. Highlands, Beechwood, Trinity, and St X. my point is middle school championships are great and I would like to win at anything I went at but really if you are not playing the best completion it's more symbolical than reality.

CityBoyBlues · 02-05-2020, 05:46 AM

Top 2 candidates are Tommy Greer & Eddie James from Franklin County. Thatâs from the horses mouth. Take it to the bank.

Dear Lord if we could just get them both somehow...

I see what your saying but Iâm not sure I exactly agree with it, but your more than entitled to you own opinion...I still just donât think your gonna find a man that is as morally sound and teaches the game to young Redhounds as well as Brent Jackson you know life lessons and such...

campbellfield · 02-05-2020, 06:20 AM

If Greer is one of 2 finalists....how does it not go to him? I mean the position he holds now he would still hold if he doesnât get the job. So itâs up to people working under him to decide if he gets the job or not???
I just hope they havenât played games with these up and coming young coaches like James.

The hiring committee isnât just made up of school system employees and from what Iâve been told itâs not 100% that Greer would be able to hold his current position and be the head coach or even a DC....There are some really good people on the hiring committee and Ive been assured by them that they are going through the process, the fact that Coach James is a finalist makes me thinks thatâs the case if you look back through this thread he was one of the few on my wish list...

BlackAndYellow · 02-05-2020, 04:10 PM

Expect Greer to be officially named head coach any day now.

papagorgio21 · 02-05-2020, 04:41 PM

If Corbin committee makes a serious attempt at Eddie James and lands him, it would be good for Corbin in short term and long term. Play into the restructuring of Corbin policies and allowing Greer to come back to coaching and taking helm at defense for short term, Corbin would be pretty solid again in my opinion. Any insiders from Eddie James camp saying he showing interests??

That would be a good outcome. Depends on how bad Greer wants it. Could be some hurt feelings.

CityBoyBlues · 02-05-2020, 05:21 PM

My source is saying that they want James but are already asking him to hire Greer and give him a higher title of DC and associate head coach. If I am coach that has to cause some hesitation. From what I know James is a pretty headstrong young coach who does things his own way. This will be interesting to say the least.

Take a coach with a turn around 5-6 first season, 10-3 second, 11-1 third, with 91 kids showing out for off season workouts...he brings a fire and competitive spirit. Corbin committee I'm sure has thought it through...right? lol...young coach with a determined goal...I hope Committee makes right choice! Eddie James would be a good fit!!!
