Will interview 10 next week before they narrow it to a final three. Five of the interviews rumored are Bryan Robinson ( UC assistant), Cedric Jeter ( Union native and Newberry assistant), Greg Lawson (Union native and Hemingway head coach), Rusty Charpia ( Brookland-Cayce HC), and Jason McManus ( South Pointe OC)
Union County job
- Thread starter sadd66
- Start date
Gotta feeling they already know who they are going with and are just going through the motions.
Was he sick? Or maybe he knew somebody up there and knew he had no shot. Can't believe a decent job comes open and he didn't apply. We can't be breaking traditions like that.
He was in the final three last time and didn't get it. I guess he saw the writing on the wall.
Bryan Robinson, the UC assistant should get the job. He's been an assistant in the district around 17 years at both Jonesville and UC.
Maybe so. That is done often. But the folks at Union would sell themselves short not to give Brian Thompson from River Bluff a close look. Heck of a coach, as good a defensive mind as there is in the state. And a better person. Players love him. But do know that sometimes folks want to keep things in house. Only thing I can't understand is if that was the plan, why so many first interviews?
Looking at his bio, though, he seems to move around alot. If he got the job I don't think he would be around very long. Robinson is a very good coach and he would be in it for the long haul. That's what UC needs.
Don't doubt that Union may want a local guy. But Thompson has been at River Bluff for five years. DC at Dutch Fork for a few years before that. So not exactly a vagabond. And as we all know, Tom Knotts doesnt suffers fools well. So his coaching is more than capable if he was entrusted with Knotts defense.Truth of matter is the only reason he is leaving RB is because of the dumpster fire the RB program is at present, and why he walked with 5-6 other assistants, even though none had other coaching jobs, at the end of the year. That a lot of good coaches, many veteran, well respected coaches, all walked together at the end of last season says a ton about the leadership currently in place after Bennett left. Am sure the principal is probably wishing he could have a do over on that particular hiring about now. But I can see why Union would want to go with a hometown guy that would be satisfied to stay there forever. No issue with that. Small town schools tend to go that a lot of the time.

He didn't get put in the mix because he's knee deep in a BIG BIG controversy in Hemingway of the legal variety so I have been told...
