Aaron's inching into his mid '30s and is still working at the video coordinator level. He needs to make some kind of move. An assistant's job at another school makes more sense, but that may not be an option. Oak Ridge is a good enough high school job to give you some upward mobility.I agree. I don't think going back into the high school ranks is going to help him reach his ultimate goal of being a college coach.

Then why is he still at UT as a glorified grad assistant? There are guys his age getting D-I head coaching jobs.Surely he could get on as an assistant at a lower level D-1 school or a D-II school. I would imagine that at a low D-1 or D-II school, the fact that he's worked in a BCS Conference at a school that has enjoyed success for multiple years coupled with a strong endorsement from Bruce Pearl would get him in the door immediately.

I'll say this as nicely as I can. If he's waiting on one of our assistants to get a head coaching job, he might well wake up one day and realize he's a 45 year old video coordinator.Aaron and his wife are both locals with deep roots and a few kids. I imagine he is hoping if one of Bruce's assistants leave that he is promoted.
I would think someone with his knowledge and experience could have already coached at lower levels in college. (A Mars Hill or Milligan size school come to mind).
This is all speculation from the little I know of him but I get the feeling he doesn't want to bounce across the country doing the assistant coach thing.

I was presuming that getting an assistant job somewhere was a possibility. If it's not, then maybe the Oak Ridge job maybe makes some sense. But I would have had to exhaust all my efforts to get a real assistant job somewhere before I took a high school job. Maybe that's the case with Green.
