I think guru5 was referring to the TSSAA message board. You are correct in that it must be posted for 3 days within the Monroe county system before it can be posted outside the system.

The job should be posted within the next few days. My understanding is that there is a few already expressing intrest, but let's wait till it is posted to name any names.

Thats pretty good(spurrier)! That is not a stupid question at all. In fact in the past I could not honestly answer that question with fact based evidence. If you will look back at one of my post you will see that a revitalized booster club, state of the art weight room, new practice field with irragation, computers for film breakdown, projection for team film study,new uniforms, and a blocking sled all in less than two years, does indicate a "current" commitment to the program. I think to refrence it as a split community is a little strong(you couldn't have gotten done what they have gotten done in less than two years without working together). Sure some of the parents still get all bent about it but the kids just simply don't care. I also understand that the Booster club intends to "help" in a major way towards hiring a new coach. So I can honestly answer your question that yes they are willing to make it possible to be successful at Sequoyah. Ok Spurrier is off the list you said a couple coaches so who is next!

There are some problem parents at SHS thats for sure. All schools have them. The majority of the parents are great. I believe most of these "problems" are well known to the community. It seems that it must be ALL be about there kid or kids and to heck with the bigger picture like the team. I think most programs have the same kind of parents. The difference it appears up to know is how they are dealt with. The right coach will have no problem fixing these few problems. I mean you are only talking about a handfull of parents anyway, again the right coach will not have an issue with these people.

Is Jo Byrns a private or public school?

Bottom line is that the ingredients necessary to be competitive at SHS year in year out is in place. I don't think you could say that a couple of years ago. There are divisions in any community. The main thing is the kids are united and want to win for "Sequoyah" they could care less from which middle school you came from. In each of the coaches mentioned there were "issues" that I will not go into here. Winning does calm alot of souls. It also brings out the support. In my honest opinion for what that is worth the right coach will look at Sequoyah as a great oppurtunity. The kids are what will in the end make the difference. The ingriedents are all there, they just need the right Chef to blend, mix and bake.

rwBLUE I can't disagree with most of what you say with one exception I never heard Holloway use profanity or do I believe that the kids used it without being punished(if they were heard). I strongly agree that the talent base is there to compete in their region year in and year out. There have been many improvements at SHS the last couple of years due mainly I believe to a rejuvenated booster club. I beleive they now have a state of the art weight room, new practice field(with irriagation), blocking sled, new uniforms, computers to help break down film, and a projection system to show film to the kids and I believe all of this has been done in less than a two year period. I would bet that the booster club is willing to "help" in hiring a new coach. It has been a dissapointing time at SHS but I do believe that things are changing in a very postive way.

In your opinion who are the best head coaches in each division for 1A,2A, and 3A. Taking into consideration consistency, game planning, orginazational skills, discipline, etc etc.

I don't understand how Bama 14 was once Holloway and now it isn't. It sure sounds like on previous post even before the post about getting fired that it was coach Holloway? I thought Holloway said that Bama 14 would not post anymore? Vonore12 I agree with you that a new coach sould be able to bring some staff with him. Monroe County needs to make a commitment to athletics. I don't think you are correct on the current staff. I could be wrong but I believe all did play high school ball and one or maybe even two played some college ball. I could be mistaken though.
