of deadline set?

trojan_fb_alum seems to have the most current information.

I believed it to be a date of around the end of the year, but it does appear that there might be an extension into January now...

There are many interested applicants.

Who knows?

.....Bob Lutz might be one of them.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

he'd make an amazing coach then.
he owns portsmouth.
he's won more there than the trojans.

[Kentucky Trojan]

I am sure that he would have better success recruiting Portsmouth kids to play at Portsmouth than recruiting Portsmouth kids to play at Ironton...

hey i got some prime swamp land in arizona to sell ya too.
your the one that brought up coach lutz.
they should name the field there after him as well. he's won more there than any coach has, portsmouth included.

[Kentucky Trojan]

I hope Lutz becomes the head coach.

He deserves to have a chance to go to the State Finals in the 21st century.

Oh, I forgot.

He already had 10+ seasons as head coach in the 21st century.

of swamp out here...unless you count Tucson...

I would think there would be a big line of applicants wanting the Trojan job, afterall any Coach will look like a genius following Clifford.......

We''ll see, how many years does the new coach get before everyone wants his head?

For what it's worth, I do know that A.J. Pratt was at the Ironton Classic to watch the Trojans hoops team and he was enquiring questions about the athletes that we have in the program and asking what we thought about the potential of us getting back to respectability. He also asked about some of the athletes that didn't come out for football and why we felt they didn't come out. He tried to act like he wasn't there for other than watching basketball but we could read between the lines.

Sounds like Pratt is your new head coach if he was doing that stuff. Hands down. And for what it is worth, Bob Lutz applied over the years for job after job and never got any of them. Just an interesting tidbit.

Like I said before, I'd put my money on AJ Pratt becoming the next head coach. He has applied and put in his resumé btw, that's a fact Jack. (in Uncle Si voice)

[Kentucky Trojan]

How about an announcement that AJ Pratt will be the next head football coach during the Minford basketball game?
