I don't think Barry Reed went after coaches like that. The former Superintendent Mark Linenburg did that. He went after Wheeler because they had coached against each other in the mid 90s. Mark had been a head football coach himself at Brookville. Then Mark also went after Crist as well. However, Reed did do a great job on the fund raising front.
Saw where Tyler Webb was hired by Twin Springs as their new basketball coach. Any of the other head positions in the area been filled yet? Abingdon, Northwood, Marion, Lee, Tazewell, Galax or Burton?
I agree. His Tennessee tenure might scare some away, but look at what Pearl did has done at Auburn. Forbes has been an assistant at some big schools and with some big names.
