Thk you shadow for all your post!! I think most of this coaches discussion is between just a small group of people.. I hope they can get together and settle there problems.... I'm not discussing it anymore.. I don't know how you start on a group of coaches that has went 12 an 1.. Not to mention all the records alone the line.. I just read a few things in the last post , I agree with some, but I disagree with some also.. Here is my take on some of it! I don't know if all this is true now , and some if its speculation so don't quote me! Out of all the counties that touch Cheatham were the only county that doesn't have a weight lifting class,( whats that matter? well if your kids work that means the head coach has to be there all the time to make sure your kids have s chance to lift)our coaches get 1500 hundred dollar supplement for two coaches, they now expect our coach to drive all over the state and the gas he uses should come out of the supplement( are you serious), our coach is expected to teach 6 classes or more a day( which I don't think matters to him, but he sure gets no appreciation ) our coach is at the field house 7 days a week at whatever time you want,( I have been there at 5 in morn, I have been there 5 at night, he is always there, keep in mind 1500 dollars) he gets no support from our school board( I won't go there again) they say he has ran off some great players( that may be true, but I would bet that 95 percent didn't won't to play anyways), then I herd this" he cussed at practice"( that one is sad! They tried to write him up or worse for saying a cuss word at practice, how many practices you ever seen where you didn't hear a coach cus?) on the eve of the biggest game ever in the schools history our coaches get to work, go to there mail boxes and you know what's there? A letter saying none of the football players are too be out of class today. ( are you serious? Really? ) ! Now is all this 100 percent accurate? Maybe not! Is most of it accurate? Yes I know for fact! So you read all this, see what the coaches deal with, how they are paid, compare it to every other county school.. I think what they have done is nothing short of phenomenal!
