D B will hire a DB player from the past, or a UT GRAD I don't think you quite understand the DB mindset, Clark has zero DB ties until he started coaching there, the new boys basketball coach zero DB ties. This school thinks it is elite in all respects, they have started a national search for a coach and national to them believe it or not is the whole country. They will hire the best coach that money can buy, that is willing to come and what coach wouldn't want nearly 100,000 dollars a year plus incentives. They have Colobro, and B.I Salyers on staff and there AD coached at Happy Valley so they have three in house candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLARK played hs football there....GRAD in 1973 ....so yes he has ties there, I agree many will apply but you must understand its really not the school who decides , its the people of KINGSPORT, namely those who donated millions of $$$$ for the program.Graham was asst. coach for years at PV, then asst. at APPY STATE then on to CHILHOWIE for 2 going 19-3 after that he went to DB as asst.coach of QB's. i worked for WALLACE BOYD(OAKWOOD MKTS) AND RAYMOND GALYON both big time $$$$$ men at DB they told me a long time ago,"no one can be a D B MAN , unless you already have been a D B MAN. MONEY TALKS and BS walks.D B may hire outside , but it will have to be a very special coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SXSW 557 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I am starting to hear some candidates that have applied for the job. Sensabaugh is the only one that has publicly said so, but I know of three others, all current coaches in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that would be a lateral move at best. Caine Ballard? No way he uproots his son in his senior year with another 15-0 season on the way. Any SWVA coaches? Don't see any way what used to be winningest football program in the state of Tennessee lowers themselves to consider a SWVA coach. Of course, you did say coaches that have applied..... :) Liam McPoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHoss 249 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Preston Patrick named head coach at North. Good option, considering I doubt that with the school closing in 2-3 years that they had many other applicants. http://www.timesnews.net/Football/2018/03/21/div-class-libPageBodyLinebreak-Patrick-faces-challenges-as-North-s-new-football-coach-div.html?ci=stream&lp=7&p=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I figured given the situation. Patrick was a good option for them to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SXSW 557 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I was told today that all the interviews are completed and an announcement should be coming a week or so, all the candidates have requested anonymity except for Joey Christian.

I was being sarcastic when I said what used to be the winningest program in Tennessee wouldn't lower themselves to reach out to a SWVA coach. That's how D-B fans view their program.
