I guess I'm just completely out of the loop on this one. Can anyone give me a good background of Swift(If anyone feels like it)?

I think swift should be the frontrunner.  Any word on Taylor sniffing around this job?

You would think that he would have to "sniff" quietly.......he has not even moved to Manilla yet though.....but it would not bode well for him if he was after the Jonesboro job, didn't get it, and had to show up at Manilla with egg on his face in September......

Looks like Taylor will be cleaning off some egg afterall...

Swift coached 7th grade football at Hughes and beat the great Frank McClellan!

Congrats to Jonesboro and congrats for sure to Coach Swift.  Y'all are getting a great man and an amazing coach.  Lonoke knew they wouldn't be albe to keep someone of Swift's caliber for forever and that time has come.  He's hands down one of the best coaches in the state and the man knows what it takes to win.  He'll do a fantastic job for Jonesboro I'm sure!  Sad day for Lonoke but I know they all wish Coach Swift the best!
