Fouke isn't open is it?

Has it been posted anywhere? I will take it off the OP if it is not. I'd like to avoid speculation on openings and stick to posted jobs.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

It's tiny.  I wouldn't say it's really a 'town' either.  More of about a half-mile stretch of road in a community called Havana, between Danville and Booneville. I'm not sure where all they draw from, maybe Belleville and Blue Mountain.  Although those kids may go to Danville & Magazine, respectively.

Yep. The job is posted on the school's website. No idea where Belcher is going though. Have not heard.

Our coach and his asst have done an excellent job. Our record may look like a great team, but we have played 4-6A schools, 5-5A schools our 4A blended conference, Riverside 3 times, Corning twice, Walnut Ridge. We have played the hardest schedule I have ever seen us play in my life. To Belcher, yes I know what is 90% chance of happening.

Just curious, what would he bring that your current coaches don't?

Head Lion

I didn't say he was coming to Manila, he has 2 standing offers is as far as I will go, both strong programs yearly.

I'm pretty sure I know one of the possibilities but not sure who the other program is.

Not hard to figure out one of the Belcher possibilities...just wonder why it might be  happening.

Havana and Belleville were the two districts that consolidated to form WYC...I don't know if blue mountain kids go to wyc or magazine...next community headed west(Waveland) for sure goes to magazine though...

Updated. Palestine-Wheatley has been added. The posting on SchoolSpring does not say whether it is head or assistant. Does anyone know?

Head coach . Coach loe is leaving , Won't be a bad job the past 2 Jr. High teams only lost 3 games combined. There's not a Will Nash in the bunch but they are a scrappy bunch.

Personally, I wouldn't want Belcher. He jumps around waaaaay too much for me. Got to wonder why. Has he ever been to a state tournament?

Added to the list. I knew Manila had been reaching out to potential hires for this but didn't realize they would move on it this quickly. I'm sure they are trying to avoid the debacle they had last year trying to hire someone. Any idea on who it might be?

I don't think he has a job at this point don't know that for sure. From what I have been told from people that talk to his wife every day was her Father is in poor health and she wanted to be closer to him. Anyway I wish them all the best.

I agree .... good hire for Manila. Was Marked Tree assistant baseball coach for 8 years. MT had some really good teams 2010-16. Definitely knows the game/how to coach it

OB11

It looks like Belcher from Paragould is now at Walnut Ridge. Anyone have confirmation of this?

OB11

Sheridan also has an assistant job open.

Coach was on campus today and met with the kids and diving into a summer schedule, he seems like a great fit at Manila.

Kelly out at Marion and Prater in?

Anyone else heard this?

birddawg1986

Dang this will be 6 different coaches for Trumann in the last 7-8 years. Program has really went down. Should have kept Scott Brown but locals wanted the home town guy gone. Was a really good coach

Pantherdaddy

any updates on these jobs or others?
