With Bowling gone, will Dyersburg get Counce back or move in a different direction?

Coach Hill is a great coach, but you'd be lucky if he stays for more than a couple of years. He left OC to go "home" to his alma mater, took a 2-8 team when he got there to 5-5, and then to the state championship game his second season, then flew the coop. He left OC in 2003, has had two more stops, and is looking again? His teams put up some points and are fun to watch, but if he does come to UC, you'll be right back in the same situation in two years. He seems to take struggling teams with no expectations (pressure), build them up, and leave when the expectations come along. UC doesn't need that; they need stability ( sound like any other athletic programs in the area? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> ). Thats not a knock on Hill personally, as he is a good man. Kids like him and play hard for him. Barnes, Shanks, Bowling, or Ward would be better fits long-term. Just my opinion.

Why would Ward leave Camden for Union City? That makes no sense. I am not saying he will be at Camden forever but I doubt he would go to Union City.

I think the rumor of Gaddis leaving can be put to rest. I have noticed seven openings in west TN for head coaches. Will any of the assistant coaches leave and try their hand at a head job?

When will the new HS in Medina open up? Will it have any affect on Milan or will it be more Dyer/Jackson kids?

If we dont make it to state next year, it could be a long time before we have the chance again.

There is NO way we do not make the playoffs in region 7-4A next year. A bad year for HC would be 6-4 and 4th seed.

Basically we have to win three region games and we are in. Not too hard in this region. More than enough talent in HC to make the playoffs EVERY year. Now if we jump back in 5A it would be more difficult but not impossible.

You all make good points. But teams rise and fall. Dont get all girly on me, you diagree...fine. That's what makes the world go round. I was mainly thinking about the talent we are losing in skill positions after next year. But you all have very good outlooks that I hadn't thought of, WHICH IS WHY I POSTED ON A MESSAGE BOARD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. I wanted to hear what other people thought. I am glad I did. But I do disagree with the Dynasty statements. A tradition reborn....totally. A Dynasty....not yet.

Counce established a dynasty. Gaddis will do the same if he stays for 10 years.

Does SF have an athletic period? Will the new coach be allowed to choose his assistant coaches? Will he have any control over the middle school program?
