From all I can gather smoky is fully prepared to make "unbelievable" offer to bring both coaches across cowee mt....
Brooks brothers to Smoky Mt
- Thread starter lawncareguru
- Start date
Hard to believe they would leave Franklin. The next 2 years may be the best teams ever in Macon county. They are treated like royalty & married to Franklin ladies. Not sure what Sylva could offer cuz money won't do it. I know they where born there but Franklin is home now. Anything is possible these days though.
No staff in the state gets more out of there kids than the staff at franklin....people thought football would fall off after goldsmith retired not only did it not slip it has been taken to new heights..so I guess it will be interesting to see how it all plays out..from what I hear smhs may be prepared to make brooks the highest paid football coach in NC..
I bet the farm if that's the case, Franklin High School would provide a better offer and keep the Brooks brothers at home. But honestly, think about it....why would they leave? SMHS is a joke, a huge rebuilding effort would need to take place. They have everything they could ever want right here in Franklin and every resource at their disposal. The community is behind them which lacks in Jackson Co. I just don't see any reason they would be stupid enough to leave Franklin esp. with their families so involved in Macon County just as they are.
lawncareguru.......I'd recommend sticking to lawn care and leave the rumor mill about coaching alone.
Good, that's the best news that could have come out of this whole thread so far.
lol funny people forget not too long ago franklin wasn't winning conf championships and playing on thanksgiving...they were barely going .500 w an nfl tailback...and I laugh when I here all the resources available..the county gives football or athletics basically no money and all I hear is bitch bitch bitch about running the ball ...so I don't know if frankin wants to win or go back to the bucky tarr fun and gun days and it was kinda embarrassing the two home crowds frankin had in the playoffs...so ill end by saying franklin football is in better shape than it was 10 yrs ago but its no rumor its a fact smoky has met w josh and jay and have every intention of making an offer they cant say no to....but with that said I believe franklin is home to them and hopefully franklin hs will do what needs to be done to keep it that way...because the panthers should be playing on thanksgiving again next year
Don't see it happening, like most of you have said they are pretty well entrenched and have worked their butts off, along with coach hawkins, to build a great program. Even if JCPS offered an astronomical amount, I would say that Macon County would be able to match if not exceed said offer, especially with the differences in support of football in the two communities. Another glaring difference in the two areas is that Macon county is an "old school" system that prides itself on taking care of their own, in order to "offer a package" jackson county would have to think outside the box and find funds other than what is allotted by the state and county. Good luck with that. If it does happen though, it would be the best possible hire for Smoky.
Visitors having more fans than home team Monroe is the norm. Terrible following for such a talented team.
lol don't clam to
great reply and yes I think macon county will do whats necessary to keep this staff in tact josh has been head coach for 10 yrs and is second longest tenured head coach in wnc behind david gentry and too my knowledge this is first serious talks w another school...I look for all the speculation to end when coach josh tells smoky thanks for the intrest but no thanks and franklin will still have what I feel is a great staff and smoky will still be smoky ...
