That's utterly ridiculous. No way a public school pays money to get rid of a coach. They just fire them. There's no coaching contract it's year to year.

His problem at Tyner was with former coach Jim Dillard. Long story there.2 prima donnas. I don't know much about Smith Co but this new coach must have potential for them to pass on Coach T if he was interested.

Dude I would drive from Lookout Valley to watch Coach T again.

I don't know much about this school but yeah know about the coach. Watched his Tyner teams in Chattanooga. Ran an exciting system. Probably wouldn't have left if the old coach wasn't hanging around undermining him. Went to the south part of MS around Hattiesburg and had 4 or 5 state teams. Good coach and motivator.

Their feeder programs and travel ball is second to none...

Great lady...loved her Owls

My vote Stone Memorial

Different kind of coach than Dillard man. Yes I would probably say he left because of Dillard's conniving. I don't think he would have left his young boys he developed otherwise. It was a difficult situation for the man but Jimmy D was a legend at Tyner. Hard to overcome.

Dillard retired in Florida I think. Coach Thompson retired in Mississippi...6 states...3 District COY... South Mississippi HS HOF.

Thoughts? Predictions?

I'm just telling the Truth... they will be humbled very quickly. I'm not discounting getting to the Glass House but everyone knows CC isn't a Top 8 team in 4A...I would doubt a Top 20 team either. Once again what was Taylor's record for his 1st tenure?

They are about to be slapped back to reality I think. Weak district and region...played every game in their gym. Williams put this team together... Taylor rode his coattails What was Taylor's record for his previous tenure?

I'm sure knowing old Roy the talent ran out.

Thoughts? Pretty good coach. Brentwood certainly a better situation.

Let's not forget Memphis Hillcrest battled them 4 times during the season...all games decided by single digits. Those 2 were the best in AAA in those days.
