One of the two candidates is a high caliber candidate and will come in with eyes wide open and a good plan. Don’t know who the other one is. 
 

However, getting good coaches has not been the issue. The issue is admin running good coaches off.

Gotta ask, but mean no disrespect, why would a high caliber candidate be interested in the Tarkington job? Seems more likely to be a spot for someone needing a chance.

There are probably plenty of good football coaches that are interested in the job, but a proven winning football coach isn't likely to be interested in a job like Tarkington.  Because coaches that make a name for themselves go on to better jobs that are normally competitive.  Or at least high paying.  Schools like Tarkington that are neither historically competitive nor high paying will not attract known successful coaches.  Sorry.. that's just how it works.

I’ve heard one has ties to the area, could be a factor idk for sure. The area is attractive especially for families. Also incoming classes are larger than this current class. Could be good for development, that is if admin gives them the chance to build.

You would need to ask him if he gets the job. All I can tell you right now is that he is a high caliber candidate with a plan and will be bringing quality assistants with him. Tarkington will be lucky to get him if he is chosen.

This is the 6A candidate I’m assuming?

I don't think splitting it was ever really a serious consideration, but looking forward to seeing who we bring in and what the future holds. I know about as much as the rest of you about the process.

I only know one of the candidates and yes he’s at a successful 6A. Unsure who the 2nd one is or where he’s coming from.
