How is the tournament going?

Update from tonight's game?

Who is next in line then? Masingale the DC?

He is McMinn County boy. Would be a good fit if he wanted it.

Congrats to Coach Nelson on the new gig.

The Nelson's did a good job pulling Sullivan East together but will they succeed without each other?

Didn't Tellico already hire Trevor Hunt as the new head coach?

Did Dustin Lidnsey get his grades straight, and become eligible?

Just wondering whatever happened to him??

When did Rodriguez leave West Virginia?

He is still there on the school site.

If they make it past Howard, they can go 10-0, they have Sweetwater after they face Alcoa so they will be beaten up and then Sequoyah should be an easy win.

Catholic could put 80 on Seqouyah. no contest. Smith gets no more than 10 touches and scores on 2-3 of those.

He wasn't forced, he was asked and he accepted the position.

Coach Kelley left the program 4 years ago because of other reasons. He is a hometown boy who takes pride in hometown. The previous coach (Glen Puryear) replaced Coach Kelley, who in turn replaces him.

This isn't about a coach though, this about a bunch of kids who have had a rough offseason and they can either use this an excuse to be terrible (all of the changes) or they can play the hand they have been dealt and become better men.

Job filled.

The Old Coach is the New Coach, I guess you could say.

Gordon Kelley is the New Head Coach at Tellico Plains, which was done today.

Mr. Schlafer now works in the Central Office.

Coach Estep has taken the running backs and recruiting coordinator job at Carson Newman.

You can't blame him for going, its a step up.

What will happen next for them? They don't have a principal either, as the position has not been filled.

Get well soon Coach Monroe.

Good luck to the Silverdale program. I don't have an opinioin on the hire, but the school has a lot of potential.

It's funny how every daddy's son is a college prospect, when the watch TV they think their kid is just as good as any of them, when they aren't. Those guuys on TV dominated games in HS, they ran the ball for 200 yards a game made 15 tackles and then played the special teams as well.

It takes legit speed to play at the college level, thats not just for the backs, lineman have to be fast and strong.

For example, Simeon Rice of the Tampa Bay Bucs, probably runs a legit 4.5 or faster as a DL, the school I am at don't have a RB that can get close to that.

But you got to love the dreamers.

If they both cared about the program like Alumni should, both could come back and get some pride in the program. Which would be head and the other assistant? Who knows, but I think if you could get both your stupid not to, just from what I know from the situation.

I know neither coach, I have heard through other sources as well as reading on this board, that both would be good for the program. All coaches move or move on, thats part of the profession, coaches will move for the 2 reasons that johnnyboy said, they pretty much stink it up at the school, or they win and get a shot somewhere else that may to betterment of that coach.

Good Luck to whoever gets it.

How did the interviews go?

When will the new coaches be named?

I heard it was the Head Coach, from a player on the team.

Who knows though....

11 is a odd number, I had heard 12 people had been selected to be interviewed.

So all the candidates are being interviewed the same day?

How long after that will the coaches be named?

Will the new coach be able to bring in any assistants?

Thanks for the info.

McCollum will probably be the next head coach at Baylor High School in Chattanooga, TN. Private school, with LOTS of resources. I heard he applied.

Who has an interest in this job?

What is the attraction to going to tellico? What have they got returning?

playing at the AAA level they seem to be out of their skill level...they play Notre Dame, Polk County, Howard, East Ridge, McMinn Central, Meigs County, Seqouyah, and Grundy County.

These are the known head coaching vacancies in the state that I know of as of 12/05/05.

Antioch High School

Baylor High School

Bradley County High School

Cocke County High School

Cumberland County High School

Franklin County High School

McMinn Central High School

Pearl Cohn High School (?)

Tellico Plains High School

Stone Memorial High School

They will be the Panthers....

I think their main colors will be black and white maybe?

Just a guess on the colors....

How did Seqyouyah make so many? What did they win 2 games at most.

I think the Bivens kid plays for Tellico Plains...not Polk but I am sure Coach Davis would take him.
