Wow! And the avalanche all started will the resignation of Buck James. Kind of makes me wonder was he pretty good at his job. The program has been is disarray every since. SSMH...Boy what could have been. Not to mention the fact that all Coach Rogers wanted to do was take over the boys basketball program. That made the situation even worse when he left. Hopefully we can get this thing back on track with the hiring of a good football coach. Stay tuned.

can't blame any of them for leaving
I couldn't work for their bosses either
new coach better have thick skin and adjust to working for imbeciles
the mass exodus will continue as long as the bosses remain the same

I'm hoping the bosses have learned their lesson. If they haven't maybe it's time for them to go. When you get a good coach in place stay out of the way and let them do their job.

Leave all of this petty jealousy and stuff to the kids. When your grown you should act like it and be a professional.

This morning on the LEADOFF MAN SHOW, heard on Fox Sports Radio 92.7, Camden Fairview athletic director Ricky Tucker announced that Camden Fairview's coaching search has been narrowed to six finalists, and also announced that the school expects to have a new coach in place Thursday night when the school board meets in a special called session on Thursday.

Tucker revealed that the school district has received approximately 25 applications since former coach Mike Cox opted to retire after 29 years of coaching. Cox, who was the head football coach at Bearden and Hamburg before coming to Camden Fairview, finished a 2-year stint with the Cardinals with a 14-9 record.

Tucker said the interview process is still going on, but that by Thursday, he and the CF administration will narrow their six finalists down to one which they will recommend to the school board for hiring. The school board will then vote on the hiring of the new coach.

Tucker said the six finalists for the Camden Fairview job include –

• Lance Parker, the grandson of legendary high school coach Jimmy "Red" Parker, and current offensive coordinator of Class 7A Bryant.
• Van Pascal, the current head coach of the Barton Bears, and former coach of the Monticello Billies. Pascal was the head coach at Monticello in 2009 when the Billies defeated the Cardinals 34-6 in the Class 5A state championship game.
• Marcus Moody, the current head coach of the McClelland Lions, who lead his team to state runner-up finish in the 5A classification. The Lions were defeated by Pulaski Academy in the title 2015 game.
• Jake Monden, the current defensive coordinator at El Dorado. The Wildcats have had an extended run of success in Class 6A over the last several years.
• Tyler Cox, the current offensive coordinator of the Camden Fairview Cardinals. Tyler is the oldest son of former Cardinal coach Mike Cox. His brother, Rob, also served as the defensive coordinator for the Cardinals until resigning last month.
• Tim Harper, the current coach at Mena, who led his team to the Class 4A state championship game in 2014
