Whoever gets this job will have the pleasure of working for one of the best bosses in the business.

 

Pipeline tells me Kevin Jeffers, most recently of The Anniston Star, got this job and will start end of August.

 

You're correct, Steak. Great hire. He was ME at The Chanticleer when I worked there

 

And when he left, it became The Shit-Ain't-Clear once again.

 

Agree with Wingman. I was lucky enough to work for Randy coming out of college. It was a HUGE blessing to my career. One of the best bosses, and people, in the business.

 

Add me to the Randy Kennedy fan club. I've never worked with him but he's always been friendly and the product he's put out at Mobile as well as the people he's hired speak volumes about his chops as a sports editor.

 

I've never in my life seen a paper go from decent to pathetic to incredible back to pathetic so quickly. It is unreal how ridiculous that paper is.
