#1 I still don't think he takes it
#2 They better have a better position with Joey Thacker than I think they do because they stand to be in worse shape if they wait to get another late hire with no spring practice, no summer schedule set ahead of time and another unproven young coach with little to no head coaching experience
#3 0-10 is a mindset that will take a long time to change and so far they haven't given anyone time to change anything more than two years

You may be right. He may not take it. That'll be a hard decision for him to make. But he does have family in E.C. that might be the biggest factor if he does decide. But at the same time, he's only 3 hours away so it's not like he's so far away. And to just cruise as an assistant at a much more experienced school is also a hard sell for East Ridge. Even if has no head coaching experience, I'd take a chance with him just cause he's been with a proven program in a much more diverse urban town. That's what coach Branham and the others didn't have. And if they wait like they did the others( I agree with the earlier statement), then they'll end up with another coach with no proven credability sp<. And if they don't stick with one for at least 4 or 5 years, then they'll always be the punching bag. (earlier statement). And if not Joey, then who?
