No one said he was afraid of losing to Coalfield. But from what I here about irate parents after losing to Coalfield this past year, you'd be stupid to not assume that made his decision easier.
All we've heard from the past few years is how much better a team Greenback had than Coalfield, but at the end of the year Coalfield proved over and over again that better doesn't always convert over to wins.
Our kids had a lot of heart and played their butts off so quit taking their success this year away from them by saying it was the worse season in East Tennessee football that you can remember.
I hope he is successful in all he does in life.
