KCHS needs to avoid the East Tennessee couching carousel and hire a young coach who will be willing to stay there and fix the program, not just come in for a 3 year run and then leave. What about the kid who went to KCHS who now coaches in Louisiana, was like an LSU GA? Having someone with ties to the program would help.

SweetScience claims that FHS has SEC caliber OL??? Just because somebody's daddy claims that his son has offers doesn't mean that it's true. Let's do the math, its the start of the Senior season for 3-4 of the FHS OL, not one of them has scholarship offers from any institution, let alone the SEC. Any player with SEC caliber ability has offers starting in their Junior year, not after their Senior season. The FHS OL is certainly big but they don't have a single player who has any future collegiate potential.

Is the old DC fired or moving to another school?

Whats gonna happen to the DC that's already there, what school is he leaving to go to?

Heard they lost some coaches and have some tough scrimmages this fall. Maryville will be their only obvious potential loss. Catholic is a joke and Bearden doesn't have the horses. FHS may surprise people.

Might as well drop it for this fall. Its mid march and still no coach so time is running out for improvement. maybe the AD has a dynamite candidate he's just waiting to announce.

Still no new coach hired!!??? who are the new candidates? this is why UC is so pitiful, 6 weeks of doing nothing while looking for a coach.

Fact is West lost all those games you mentioned and has underachieved for the better part of a decade but i guess let's hand out trophies for "almost wins" and "great efforts". Wish my team had the coveted "Maryville respects us more than anyone" award. Don't kid yourself, nobody cares about West, nobody is jealous of West's toughness or resolve, nobody is afraid of West. only in your limited community are they considered a program.

The Tait kid failed out of KCHS in Dec and has been enrolled at Farragut. He's not going to sign anywhere to play bc he has no grades. What a waste of time

His parents are sick supposedly. An assistant from Farragut was helping out up there as well, i don't know if he's a candidate for the head position but the kids really liked him. Might as well bring somebody from a winning program up there.

west is and will always be underachievers and a waste of the talent that goes through that program as long as SC remains there. Don't adapt or evolve to your players talents, just run the same split back veer and 3-4/3-5 that you don't have the personnel or ability to run or scheme with. Running off coaches and replacing them with more hacks isnt the way to advance the program. teams arent scared of playing west, its great practice for their punt return team.

they hired mark chait, former knox catholic coach

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, way to go KCHS!!! 1-2 vs. Blount Co. Good job SM, hope you enjoyed your one year at the school, you'll either be fired by an administration that is already wishing they didnt hire you, or maybe you'll quit again and claim family reasons.

Waaaaaaaaaah.....Waaaaaaaaahhh. Catholic crying cuz they have to play larger schools and can't win. Interesting how before the season the Irish kept running their mouths about how they can play with any size program and were happy that now they can show their talent off against the "big boys". Sob, sob, we have to play kids both ways, its not fair, they have more students than us.....sob sob. Guess being smug doesnt help you win football games. Its okay though, i'm sure the arrogant dwarf of an HC will certainly find plenty of things to blame it on other than himself and his makeshift staff. A catholic school without a single catholic coach, irony.

Just to clear this up for all of you future medical students of America.

There is the TIBIA and there is the FIBULA......there is no such bone as a Tibula.

SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW DOWN!!!!

Now yes it is true that in the past 3-4 years KCHS has indeed produced the most D-1 kids in the city of Knoxville. HOWEVER, in the previous 74 years of existence they have produced only about 5, so le'ts not tout KCHS history as one of having Division 1 talent always. Let's put on our history caps and remember they were a 1A team for decades struggling to be .500 and going only a few rounds deep into the playoffs if even making it. Only the past 10yrs or so have they progressed at all. How quickly recent success seems to blind those who don't even realize where the school was located for the most of its existence. Typical west knox person, slants his arguments towards only recent years when things are good. Farragut, AE, Fulton, Bearden, Webb, even Central have been putting out D1 prospects FOR MANY DECADES.

history lesson concluded

Any thoughts on the Knox Co Jamboree??

5 from Bearden is an amazing kicker/punter

Catholic started out their season by getting stomped by Powell, then proceeded to show no class or sportsmanship by running to the buses and leaving while their head coach screamed and berated them....welcome to 5A

AE's linebackers were the real deal

Webb's linebackers can bring it also

Karns has the most hideous helmet logo EVER!!!!!

Another solid year for the Falcons of Fulton

Since you seem to be the recorder of geographical movements Scott, maybe you can tell us where they were between june 11-14 and IF they will be traveling july 10-14. hard to imagine one state title makes a school so paranoid

I don't think its a money issue, I think its an unfair competitive edge issue. Nothing wrong with working hard during the summer or offseason but trying to bend the rules or go beyond them just isn't sporting. I know the AD of the school reads these posts, maybe he has some info that will shed light on the legality of it.

It is in the middle of this month. I didnt know if the dead period had a geographical restriction on it, if it doesnt more teams should travel out of area to scrimmage out of state teams and practice.

KCHS is taking their entire team and staff out of state for padded scrimmages and practices. Is that even legal?

Who are the assistant coaches at KCHS going to be this year??

1) Mark Pemberton and Kevin Smith were both commendable coaches whose success at the school cannot be overlooked or taken away

2) That being said, both are ego maniacal and self serving jack a%#es. Pemberton wanted to be the big bad sheriff of the football program and Smith was the only assistant who proved to be his deputy lackey.

3) The administration didn't have some secret agenda/axe to grind with their coaching staff, they got tired of the 2 FB coaches who refused to do their real task of TEACHING and who believed they were above reproach in all things.

4) Smith was "fired immediately" bc he doesn't have a teaching certificate in the state of TN nor made sufficient progress towards receiving one, entirely non football related. Pemberton left bc he didn't wan't to move up in the new classifications and play a difficult schedule, get his tail beat, and tarnish his precious legacy. Boo hoo i may have to play Maryville, Oak Ridge, and Farragut instead of Chucky Doak and Smith County. When Oak Ridge didn't work out he found the only other place that would take him and his puppet DC which is Georgia.

5) KCHS doesn't recruit kids bc a child is ineligible to play sports if he receives ANY OUTSIDE tuition help that isn't from the home parish.

Many schools right now have alot of vacancies, any ideas who is going where with spring practice coming up?

SD needs a head coach, KCHS needs a whole new staff other than Pemberton including a D coordinator, Ron Gray is going to leave but where to? Farragut has holes on both sides, as does Oak Ridge and AE

another rumor or reports of strong news......awesome.....29,000 people in oak ridge and not one of them has any

contact with the 3 people who will choose the head coach.
