The best thing about going outside to get a new coach is to eliminate the ole buddy system. Many times you do not get the best coaches and/or players on the field. That is a fact anywhere.

If this all turns out to be true, we should know by tomorrow, surely Tj would meet with the players he said were "family" and tell them a hotter young chic is on the block and how he would never leave for anywhere but this is "HIS" dream job etc.
I think without any doubt hindsight is 20/20 and it was a huge mistake to invest in Tj knowing one foot was out the door.
Also the timing....remember how the series vs Russell wasn't renewed, kinda makes it easier + the fact that for a couple of yrs, I have heard he won't leave until this class is done and Russell knew that Tj would then be willing, thus McGlone was tossed aside like common trash. This was in the works for awhile .....the timing all fits.
Please hire someone outside the system or keep falling short every year. I do not see Vanderhoof wanting anything to do with it...at all.
As for Salmons, he may be a former player and current asst. but I see him pissing off more kids and parents that it would be counter-prodcutive and his leash would be shorter than was tolerated for say like the Pikeville meltdown last season, where Tj was responsible.
