Did you have any flashbacks to Polk Co.? Wonder if anyone blow out the seat of their new pair of pants...haha

I also remember the game you couldn't see a punt because the fog was so thick. So, the officials ended up stepping off yardage if you were going to punt.

Us rednecks have to give an "Ole Sweater Vester"...haha...a hard time every now and then.

IMO...the reason for the uproar. You've got the ones upset over the previous hire and don't want to see a repeat and others that know that GR applied, interviewed and wants it. Of course there's some that fit in both areas. Things would probably calm down if they'd come out and give a TRUTHFUL reason of what they have against GR. If I was in his situation and had put 6 years into my alma mater and achieved what was done in that span a mere 2 year before. It would be nice to know in a way as well. The previous hire was the first true outside of the program hire, in my lifetime. All the other ones were already on the previous staffs.

GlenfromGreenback had just started HS the last time we had Driver's Ed. Calvin Blevins taught it a year or two after Hudson retired.

And another thing...if LOUDON can rehire Harig after a very short stint in Knox Co., than why can't we do the same with an obvious choice of GR... Being a educator or not, shouldn't have any bearing IMO on this hire. Hire the best man...and the BEST has already proven what he can do, too everyone on this committee. If you have a thorn in your rear over said person it's time to pull it out and make the RIGHT DECISION. IT'S NOT WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU INDIVIDUALLY, IT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR THESE YOUNG ADULTS.

"You can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink."...why even have a couple of people from the community on this committee and then not use any of their recommendations at all. And then there's this...a person under The Director of Schools that's totally against GR from the get go and then you have our School Broad member that has yet to stand up for anything in Greenback(this person knows the success that GB FB had with GR). What do we expect...Something Stupid.

GO AMPIPE!!!.

They have opened a can of worms...just something else a school administration has to keep track of and/or eye on. IMHO it's a completely STUPID move on the part of T$$AA.

Who is this 2nd Blount County school you speak of...cause I'm very confused. The last time Blount had two classified as Class A was for the 1978 season(pre-WB). Your boundaries are all messed up.

Sounds like another Alcoa Basketball type situation from a few years back...When Alcoa hired one of Bruce Pearl's former Assistants.

He is currently the OC at the University of South Carolina.

Officials for the playoffs are assigned by TSSAA (Regular season they're assigned by your regional association supervisor)...your regular regional association if not assigned else where are typically assigned as a chain crew, etc...within their association. Host school covers cost plus mileage for officials off the top of gate $.

Hammontree and Casteel probably wouldn't have got along...hard feelings...cause from what I heard way back was that Tim removed him and another coach from the staff; back when Tim was at Maryville.

Latest is...will know WHO sometime Monday.
