Doyle Hargraves. Big Booster of Cosby Eagle athletics. Think the barn out back is named after him.

I'll say this about Coach Harp..........if he can't get them competitive, I'm not sure it's possible. I'd like to see LHS rise above and take on MJ. MJ was pretty bad until they got Coach Perry. I hope LHS has the same success.

I never said he was hired. I did say he is in with the right folks, and thought he would be a leading candidate.

Agree. Whites Creek would seem to be the best job. Probably a lot of talent roaming the halls that has not been pillaged by private schools. The toughest part of "coaching" in Metro, is getting the actual athletes out to play.......and making sure they can actually get "home" after practice since a majority of them rely on public transportation I'm sure.

Back to the topic......... Would the current HC at Boyd Buchanan be a candidate? Seeing that the GP current Headmaster came from there I believe.

Glencliff and Whites Creek haven't been exactly powerhouses of talent.

I don't think so, but to answer your question he was at Westmoreland.

. Then you never saw John Henderson play at Pearl Cohn. I've seen both. Hurd is impressive, but JoJo IMO was the most dominant player I've ever seen in Tennessee. I still have the Athlon where he was ranked the #1 overall recruit in the country. That being said, Hurd is the best since then.

Yes. There are some issues in Smith County.

I believe Coach Maynord has some issues going on that would probably remove him from any candidancy at this point. I think it would be in Cookeville's best interest to look at David Martin. However, I don't see him moving to Cookevegas.

Back to the topic....................... Wonder if David Peden has been over to his new office over the break?

I believe MBA has somewhat "cleansed itself" in some ways since the "incident". Not saying they are totally ethical, but they did tell Jalen Hurd to get lost due to behavior......and Austin Blackwell was failing 5 classes and transferred over to CPA and is a member of Drew's crew. Ensworth has also parted ways with several "superstars".........Jalen Ramsey and Antonio Richardson both had to leave for one reason or another. And there are several kids that had to leave as well for various reasons.

Nothing personal, don't think Coach Anthony would be a candidate. I don't think Peden is wavering. If he is offered the position, he would jump at it. What I can't understand is........why would you fire or force out David Martin to hire David Peden? That's just mind boggling.

Peden is church of christ......and goes to the same church a lot of powerful goodpasture folks attend. Connect the dots.......

Coach Martin, We know you have won us 3 state titles and been runner-up 5 times. Because of some parents that have complained of your discipline that will help them in life realize that there are consequences to certain actions, you are being relieved of your duties. Merry Xmas. Signed, Goodpasture Administration. This is a travesty.

He might be an assistant. I think Peden is the leader in the clubhouse right now for HC. Unless they can get the guy in the khaki shorts............

Support and Facilities are there. But they aren't going through Rutherford Co., Maryville, and Memphis.

Doyle, LHS Blue Devils are looking for sponsors. You think that your Construction company can pony up and help for Xmas?

Sad for Goodpasture. Once a proud school with great tradition. Can't believe you would force Martin out, to hire Peden. But, it is what it is. Peden is connected with that Big Wig you speak of I'm sure, so that is where the connection is.

Looks like a great job. Easy district. You are never going to win the state there, but you can win district every year and go to the playoffs.

Coach will have some young talent to work with. Excited about the future of Lebanon football. Go Blue Devils!

The Coach Martin situation is what is wrong with high school athletics. For a guy to win 3 state titles and be runner-up 5 times in 21 years, and "resign" is absurd.
