HTV

As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus. The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools. Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.

History there says not long.

No offense intended, but I will take the word of an actual administrator in that system on that question.

But not the same administrators. Administrators at ACHS don't have access to student record at Clinton High. No conspiracy in play.

Unfortunately the Sweetwater thing spooked some principals and ADs looking for head coaches in this cycle, even though Caleb wasn't at fault in any way. He had multiple OC opportunities. Personally, I'm glad he chose Karns, given that my oldest grandson plays in their middle school program. Caleb is a good coach and a class act. It's a win for Karns to get him.

AC had nothing to do with it. It's internal academic issues. AC wouldn't be privy to that. That comes from system administration.

Your numbers are exaggerated and the changes are completely out of context. Get a grip.

Newsflash: Knox County football coaches move quite often, especially those who teach/work at schools other than where they coach and non faculty coaches. It's a different day. New head coaches often have staff changes early in their tenure until the right fits are made. Some of you are obviously wearing tin foil hats.

Your numbers are greatly exaggerated. And your thinking is definitely wishful.

Kevin Lane took the Central head coaching job. One high school assistant and the head coach of the MAC program went with him. Reado agreed to come, then changed his mind. That's it. End of story.

A coach left for a head coaching position, another for a coordinator position, a guy who wasn't to on the high school team staff left for another position not on a high school staff, and a guy who was going to join the staff decided not to. And it's still the offseason. What "honor" is there to defend?

Reado and the Smiths had ties, and yes, Reado is gone. Lane only took a couple of guys with him, one of them being the coach who led the feeder program and another for a promotion to a coordinator position. No mass exodus of coaches.

The sun is a major issue on the home sides at both HVA and Karns, because of the way the fields are laid out in regard to where the sun sets that time of year. There were times that it was really hard for me to even see the field from the press boxes to call games in those stadiums. Obviously, it is what it is and the people at both were great to me and my crew, but those are by far the two toughest places to see prior to sundown that I ever worked.

Originally the plan was for HVA to not even have its own baseball/softball/football stadiums and share facilities with nearby high schools. That changed very late in the process.

Absolutely no surprise. There was never a doubt it would be anybody else. And frankly, he's about as good of a choice as Farragut could have made. It's all about fit.
