I started a job thread on the baseball board and was asked to start one for softball as well. So if you hear of any softball jobs coming open please post them here.

Thanks for correcting me saltlife. I had the names backwards.
Osceola head is open

Thanks. I added Osceola to the list. I already had Vilonia on the list for an assistant job but not sure if there is an additional job open there as well?
Does anyone know why the Jonesboro coach is leaving? I saw them in the State Tournament and it seems to be a good coaching job and a good place to live.

I had heard it was health related but don't know any details.

I got that info from several reliable sources. I think they may be promoting from within for that job which is why it wouldn't be posted. But they have not made a move on that job yet that I know of so I may be taking it off of this list soon.
According to ricepig Jonesboro is open. He's usually spot on when comes to Jonesboro Schools and sports.

OB11 has the goods on this, they are hiring in-house, thus the reason it wasn't ever posted.
Updated - Added Nashville per the SchoolSpring website.
Paris
Jessieville
Trumann

I'll say. That is very major and IMO makes Paris the team to beat in that 3A conference. For a while.
Prairie grove has been filled
Russellville Head Coach has been filled by Collin Campbell. Was a football assistant at Augusta. Graduate from HU where he played baseball. His father Glen Campbell has won a state title as baseball coach at McCrory. I believe his wife, who played at Harding will be assisting him at Russellville as well. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.
Josh Fleming is Jonesboro's new head coach.
Is this the Ashdown Josh Fleming?

Is this the Ashdown Josh Fleming?
No. He's been at Jonesboro the last few years doing baseball.
Ok.. Thanks!

Who got the Prairie Grove job? I heard Lincolns softball coach was leaving?
From what I heard is that the Lincoln Coach had submitted for the PG job and then pulled his name from the list after the parents got wind of it.
PG hired their assistant coach to take over - Not positive what her name is. First name I do believe is Brandi. :-\
Why would a coach pull his name from consideration because his kids parents found out? I assume you mean the Lincoln parents? Heck if you applied we know you are trying to leave. Besides, we are used to coaches leaving.
Maybe the parents found out and begged him to stay. Who knows. Maybe the parent found out and told him they would step back and let him coach. That would could be huge

That would be unlikely.
Flippin head is open
Why would the Lincoln coach want to leave? He has had good success the last few years and should next year as well. Has he had an opportunity to move up to a big school or to a traditionally good softball school?

I have learned that he went to PG HS and wanted to return to his High School. Been just a 5-7 mile drive down the road.

Crossett job has been filled. Lady Eagle assistant coach Mary Ellen McMahan has been named head coach.
