1000% parents are NOT unbiased. When it comes down to it 99.9% of parents would rather have their kid score 25 points than win the game.

You should thank your lucky stars he took that job. Nobody wanted it and to get a coach who cares for kids like he does is awesome. Can’t always go by wins and losses.

Chester can be really good if they buckle down and play defense and get some discipline on offense. SS and NS show flashes of being good especially defensively but their offenses are very inconsistent.

True. Tmsaa doesn’t seem to care much about rules at the moment. It’s run a little worse than it’s big brother

Any updates on this job

That problem has more than one culprit. It began with the leadership in McNairy County not wanting to move up county games so the area tournament could be done earlier. Even without the weather it would have wound up the same way. However with the weather the tmsaa was unwilling to move sectional back

Hiring Franks as AD was a huge mistake. Had no experience with admin and don’t think he had a teaching license when first hired. He took the HC position in football when he did because he knew the talent level coming was going to be the best through there in a long time. He also got out when the cupboard was getting thin. This is a tough job and it will be difficult to hire an experienced coach

Not going to “pull” kids from MS Or surrounding counties. Why would kids from Hardin or Chester come when they have had successful programs. McNairy County has open enrollment so kids can go to either high school. There won’t be any kids coming from outside the middle schools so it does matter which one is successful. Selmer middle is the largest and until this year they haven’t been good. You obviously don’t know financial context of a small school system. Pay will not change. Only people that will be interested in this job will be retired from MS or someone from this area.

Dyersburg, Covington and Westview games were over in the first quarter. That’s more about talent than coaching. The cupboard is thin. Selmer middle is the largest feeder school and just won county for the first time in forever. So maybe it’s going to get better. Pay isn’t going to change. That’s not an option in small systems. It’s either someone who is from McNairy or a retired Mississippi man

Yes it is. They might dip into the retired pool from Mississippi but you’re right, won’t stay long and they have gone through a bunch of coaches. Expectations from the community and the so called experts don’t resemble the talent level that is there

Good man ran off by people who have no clue what they are doing. Tough job , very little talent and the pay is not close to other districts. Good luck finding the next coach

Teams from the same district are always put in opposite brackets so they wouldn’t see each other until the final

No shot clock. Biggest obstacle in my opinion is the lack of quality officials. There are some good ones out there but some struggle and now we want to give them something else to keep track of. bad idea

Understand and after making it that far last year and the talent they have on this team. It would be a major upset

Be shocked if they don’t
