Why is USJ open and who are the early candidates??

What happened at Chester?? Howard was there 1 season.

We played there in a middle school jamboree this season....truly sad how bad the facilities are in such a relatively new building... locker room/weight room was unbelievably bad.... field/track are in terrible shape....obvious that there is no commitment from above...

Kody Howard, former Lake County head coach, and current Dyersburg Middle coach has taken the Chester County job per the Jackson Sun.

is now open.

My list of coaching candidates in no particular order.  Brian Allen- Westview. Randy Thomas coaching at Mckenzie, I believe is from Mcnairy. Jason McCauley - North Side. Carey Craig- Dyersburg. Kellie Spivey- Mckenzie.  Coach Jones  of Mcnairy

Good list. Craig isn't leaving NW Tennessee, and MCHS can't afford him. Actually, most of those guys would take substantial pay cuts to take on more headaches. Jones is an interesting choice, but don't think the locals would let that happen.

Name has popped up for Westview and Munford jobs. Think Dyersburg is his longest tenure anywhere, 5- 6 years.

Lot of chatter about Mahaffey applying for other jobs. Any truth to that?

"I've heard Casey Barksdale who would make sense as well. Great relationship with the players and is well liked in the community."

​Not credentialed, and not as well regarded in the community as you've been led to believe. Not well received in the local coaching community as well. Dyersburg needs to move past him if the program is going to continue to be successful.

Burkley is a great coach and better man. He would be a great choice, but I just can't see him leaving Middleton. Both squads can make deep tourney runs on a regular basis. Larue makes a lot of sense. He's had a lot of success in the area. He's won everywhere he's been. There is also a posting on the TSSAA website for a girls' bb assistant at Crockett. This deal may be done already.

This will be interesting. Lot of factors coming into play: rookie principal with no hiring experience, rookie AD coming straight out of an assistant football position, and a lot of changes in NW TN. Don't think Coffman will/should have a role in the hiring. 

Which assistant coach?

Randy Newsome

With a weak schedule, they will finish with 7-8 regular season wins and bow out in the first round of the playoffs. Too many injuries to advance in the playoffs.

Coach Real has accepted a position as an assistant coach @ UT Martin. Who's in line for the job @ CHS??

He is a class act. Did an excellent job with limited talent. Had the privilege of coaching against him for several years. His teams always played hard and executed very well. His successor isfilling huge shoes and will be hard pressed to improve on what Todd accomplished. Poor decision by Milan admin.

Covington and Westview win relatively easily this time around.

The question is, "is he going to be wearing orange next year??"

Chance of rain Friday night. AD gonna try to move the game to Saturday????

What happened late in the game??

And in the biggest surprise of the night, Coach McCord actually gave credit to Bartlett rather than blaming the officials for a loss

What now????

This one could be ugly. Dyersburg is staring at a 1-9 or 0-10 record.

This whole situation is a total knee jerk overreaction..... if the 2 fb coaches had any discipline in their programs and nobody leaves the sidelines this is a moot point.. period!

Ive heard several but want your input

They could have a record anywhere from 7-3 to 2-8. First round exit from playoffs if they make it...... too many questions about depth, character, and discipline.

Ripley wins. Someone may get lucky, and I do mean lucky, and win a region game. The sectional...substate...whatever it's called will have two 14aa teams.
