"We have a lot of good applicants. These five seemed to really jump off the page and make a good impression," Monroe athletic director John Singleton said. "Hopefully we'll be able to pick a great new coach for Monroe out of this group."
After all five have interviewed, the school plans to bring the top two to three candidates back for a final round of interviews later this week or early next week and hopes to offer the job to someone by Wednesday, May 21. Whomever is selected for the job will then have to be approved by the Monroe school board at it's May 27 meeting.
