The job posting requires a masters degree. That may cull out a lot of fan favorites.

PNG is one of, if not the most, premier jobs in the area. They should get some quality applicants. Hiring the right one may be another story.

That’s exactly what I would expect.

I read an interview with Toby when he left Central. He said his new gig was paying him six figures. What makes Toby supporters think WOS could or should afford to bring him in? Should he make more than CT?

Most don't know the interviewing and hiring process. They only know what they speculate or what someone told them.

By your “woke” statement, are you saying he wasn’t the most qualified? If not, how do you know that? If he was, it wasn’t a “woke” hire.

Gotta trust the process and hope for success.

Many times the board has already given an unofficial off the record approval.

Stephen Jones said McCarthy will definitely be the coach next year. SMH

I personally don’t/can’t trust any of the narratives being spewed these days. If you have to listen to some, it should be the ones that the government are trying to silence or discredit.

I would guess CT won't be around campus when the new guy arrives. There doesn't need to be any confusion about who's in charge. For certain, it doesn't matter who they hire, WOS will be fine, students will not leave, tickets will continue to sell and most everyone will be OK. That is, until (if) they lose a district game, lose to LCM, lose in the first round. Then it will all start to unravel.

While your at it, can you name the three blackest towns in the area? Just kidding. I’m just poking the beat.

The newlyweds were talking. The wife said “now that were married, do you think you could start selling off some of your gun collection” He said “your starting to should a lot like my ex-wife” “I never knew you were married before” He said “I wasn’t”

I just don’t know how I feel about a local paper that appears to be lobbying for a particular coach.

Toby may or may not be the best choice. I think it could be premature and maybe even insulting to totally dismiss any of the qualified coaches that are correctly a part of the program.

...unless you qualify as economically disadvantaged, if I recall. Then there's no cost.

Some new coaches want to clean house and bring their own staff in. A proven coach may want more money than they are able to pay, maybe more than coach T made. Highly proven coaches don’t move for cheap.

As a boy I could climb any tree around and run miles on end. These days I have to steady myself before I fart.

Ok, then it’s not fair for finalist it either. Better? Some or many will think certain applicants should get the job over others. Just knowing the list means nothing. None of us get to review the resume, sit in on interviews, be apart of negotiations including money, support staff, etc. There’s more to it than a list.

I’m a WOS fan and I fully understand the strong concern for the right fit of the head coach and interest of all applicants. If the WOS supporters had as much interest in applicants when hiring a principal or other administrative positions, WOS would excel in more areas than just football. As someone said, there’s more important things than football.

Gary said on today’s broadcast that he’s gotten a lot of calls and there could be some things going on behind the scenes. We’ll keep out fingers crossed.

That may not be fair to all applicants. I could agree with finalists.

Zeke hasn’t proven himself worth a high draft pick trade. Maybe there’s someone out there desperate or not smart.

KOGT has been the only pipeline of local news with weekly visits with the judge, LIT Orange, county and city meeting minutes, police reports, local business promotions, charitable events, etc. Dang, as I’m listing them its becoming more evident that Orange County will hurt without KOGT. Furthermore, KOGT promoted many school events other than football. They broadcast, baseball, basketball, softball as well. These are programs that attract less attendance but still attracted a radio audience. It won’t take long after their closing to realize the true impact.

I’m shocked. As an Orange County resident and daily listener or website visitor, this is a tremendous loss.
