No doubt...I've got some buddies that were on staff and they pretty well unanimously agree that Coach Case is the man for the job. Its pretty common knowledge that he is thought to be the front runner. Dr. Walker was the AD @ Mo-West for years, as well as a coach at Gibbs. He will be good for the athletic department...very sharp. I hear he and Coach Case have a pretty good relationship. I honestly hope Coach Case gets the job. If not him, then preferably Rodney McCash or Neal Cruce.
Coach Cruce is from Ohio, but has coached in KY and West TN. Ran a great offense out @ Lake County a few years ago. He has won EVERYWHERE he has been. Good guy, too. He'd be perfect @ Cocke County. His program is a complete character overhaul. He puts an emphasis on unity, details and repetition...faith based as well. If you're not willing to lay it all on the line for the guy next to you, then you're not going to succeed in his program. He is the HC @ a local middle school, but has had a few offers to move on up and take over HS programs in western KY.
A little off-topic, but Cocke Co needs a change in culture. Those kids are athletes, but need to be broken down and built back up from scratch. I think Coach Anderson (former JCHS HC) could be good for that program as well. Wish him the best...he's staying @ the school. I'm afraid they won't have enough positions open to allow Coach Case to bring ALL of his guys with him.
