He did. BB was incorrect. He also hired his current basketball and baseball coaches

I just know who wanted it and then was denied. I stand corrected. one was told who to hire and the other who not to hire.

Pelham at Hillsboro is qualified enough to hire coaches.

I think Schafer at Hillwood is also.

After that it gets pretty thin pretty quick.

Funny you say that, neither one named their last football coach

As long as principals are doing the hiring we will have problems. If you look at who our coaches are look deeper at who the principals are that hired them.  Which current principals in metro are fit to hire head football and basketball coaches?

A committee of retired coaches would be best. Last principal that was qualified was Jim Overstreet at Hillsboro. Would bleacher be a good committee person to hire coaches?

Work, heard there is a shakeup with the interviews. Your thoughts? 

I would like to talk with you. I sent my email to you. Only 3 interviewing because number 4 withdrew his name. Not surprised.

And that is exactly one of the major reasons why the MNPS athletic programs are in the sewer.

I have some questions.  I would love to talk with you about metro football. Not on coacht though. If you are interested email me at rwbbama92@aol.com

They miss Mary just as much.

What are your thoughts about the current state of metro football. Open zones has just about destroyed football . I can remember when every school had players enough and were somewhat competitive. Also I wish I knew who you were to understand your thinking and where you coached or still are, Contact me at rwbbama92@aol.com if you want to really share some thoughts. I have some questions I will not discuss on here.

University of Alabama  has 5 players test positive for Covid 19. This is not going to promote workouts continuing.

If they do not play this fall,what happens to the TSSAA?  They already said they cannot make it if they do not have football revenue.

Schools (some) are already determining their own guidelines. Trenton Peabody, Union City, and Milan have been practicing for weeks already, and because TSSAA deferred the authority to "local policy", they're completely justified in doing so. Other local schools however, cannot conduct any team sports related activities, and would face penalties if they did so. TSSAA has an obligation to it's member schools to coordinate sports related activities (Article1 - Section 3), and has blatantly refused to do so for fear of liability.

   Consider the school closing date, consult Dept. of Health, Set the parameters (dead period/helmet/full pads/ect…), set the season, and THEN the schools have the choice whether or not to allow practice with some idea of what everyone else is able/not able to do. Member schools pay a fee to TSSAA for just such a service, not to disappear when nobody knows what to do.

I promise you I want schools to open on time and sports played. I want things to get back to normal.  I coached football for 45 years. It has been my life.

You are both right and wrong. TSSAA needs to set parameters that not be exceeded, then allow each school/system to evaluate their own situation. Restraining any or all systems from team related activities isn't the answer, nor is taking the cowards way out (that they took) and deferring their liability to the local authorities. 

   This is just my opinion, but I believe that the vast majority of the public is sick of following mandates and hiding from the proverbial "boogeyman" that isn't nearly what was depicted. CV-19 is real... from that point of general agreement, what we've been told to what has actually transpired is a wide chasm apart, and if the current situation of hundreds of thousands of protesters in clusters across the nation doesn't result in an unparalleled outbreak of cases, then there was never a reason for all the mandates in the first place. 

   Back on topic... barring the last sentence in the above paragraph becoming reality, there will be school, and there will be football.

 

All you did was say the same thing I said. What if TSSAA's parameter's as you say were too low, then what? By allowing schools to determine there own guidelines really is better. As you say I do hope there is school, but no school no sports. I have even heard sports most likely to not play are football, basketball, and wrestling.

Assuming all the citizens agree. Good luck with that.

I am all in favor of that. I am just saying TSSAA can not decide for school systems what they do. Already different schools systems are allowing return to workouts. I also see where Montgomery county is waiting till after dead period.  It will be interesting as it gets closer to season what each school system will allow and how the school day will be handled. If there is a 2nd wave and one system closes and another remains open how will that affect games.

Why not allow the citizens of the great State of Tennessee to make their own decisions regarding the attendance of sporting events, concerts, church, etc...?  I am personally tired of most government officials wanting to make the decision as to what is best for me and my family.  The only good thing that could come out of high school football being shut down for the 2020-21 season is the T$$AA would have to be disband due to the fact they would not be able to pay their debts.

T$$AA will encourage Football at least as it makes up over 80% of its budget.  Either the $$$$$ flows in or everybody at T$$AA has to get a REAL JOB!

Everyone not as tough as you. School reopening and any restrictions will be the deciding factor for sports. TSSAA can only make decisions for themselves,  every school system will make their own decisions. 

Tennessee Tech total campus is shut down until July.  Football most likely start back mid July.

Rural schools are going to get a head start this year while urban schools are gonna be behind.  That is just common sense and the way it will be this year.  We all just have to deal with it and move on.  

Metro schools was not allowed to have spring football for a long time when other counties were within TSSAA rules and guidelines. Same thing is happening now with each county school system making decisions best for them.

Green Hill has a football coach.  His name is Josh Crouch.  For the past two seasons he was the DC at St. George's in Memphis.  Before that, he was on staff at Wilson Central  from 2013-2017 and started his coaching career at Ezell Harding in 2012.  He is a Smyrna native who graduated from Smyrna in 2007.

Also played college football at Cumberland University.  Wishing him the very best.

Isn't that ironic that you would think that, strong rumors/ facts have been released that he was helped pushed out by a staff member hoping to take over . I don't think someone would make this up with such reliable sources But I understand why you would say that. 

Rumors are just that ,rumors. Backstabbing rumors here are just an excuse . If you have facts, say them or just be another guy on coacht trying to be somebody hiding behind an username.

Steve did all he could there. The talent isn't flowing like it was when we were growing up. Overton will not be the respectable program it once was, especially as long as it has coaches on the staff backstabbing the head coach for his job. Antioch search is taking too long which forces me  think they will have to settle for someone that don't want.

 I thought Steve a good job. Many games could have gone either way. I think having to many coaches from outside made it difficult. I never heard or noticed any coaches not on board or coaching any way other than the way he wanted.  I thought the coaches were behind and supportive of him.

Will the new head coach at Hillwood be the head coach at the new Bellevue High School when it is completed?  If so this could be a very good job.

Yes, that it what I had heard from some admin at Hillwood.
