Drama in Tyrone - Coach Franco Leaving?

[Footballfan4]

If Coach Franco does leave Tyrone for Altoona, would Craig Sponsky be a good fit for Tyrone? Or if Franco stays, Sponsky at Altoona? Thoughts? By the looks of things Sponsky wants out of Bishop Carroll.

Hope Sponsky doesn't need a job....a full time one that is.

From what i've heard, he is done at BC. If he wanted the Altoona job he could of had it a year ago.

As for Sponsky at Tyrone, I don't think so, maybe at Altoona, but not if Frano goes. If anything one of Tyrone's Assistants that knows the system and maybe wanting the opportunity to be a head coach themselves would be a good fit. I mean the system in Tyrone isn't broken (offensive/defensive) so if you have the opportunity to keep it the same if there is a coaching change why not do it. Besides that point I do believe the football players would be less receptive to an outside coach than an internal staff hire, but that is just my opinion.

I don't understand the comment the Sponsky could've had the Altoona job a year ago? Also Sponsky is on leave from BC and hasn't been back, but who knows if there isn't any jobs out there he might have to go back. I don't see him taking a trip to Tyrone everyday, what happened to all the FH talk and Bailey leaving.

How was the Tyrone program before Coach Franco got there?

How was the Tyrone program before Coach Franco got there?

In shambles. I agree that if Franco goes, they need to keep the hire internal for the sake of the program. Personally, Darren Elvey has looked like the coach in waiting for a long time. There are a lot of people on staff or former members of the staff that could very well pick up where Franco would leave off and I can see most of if not all of the staff sticking around if this were the case.

FYI, the "current" Altoona coach is Palfey, who was an assistant under Franco at Tyrone. I am assuming that Palfey is officially out.

[ForTheGlory92_10]

Palfey, as well as Franco, are 2 of 5 internal applicants for the job. Technically, Palfey's still the head coach until they officially announce otherwise.

who are the other 3?
