    Houston (Germantown) won with Mike Miller (coach) 2021. They never played Centennial. The school has been open since 1989 so I have no idea what he's talking about.

    Thanks for the correction.....I meant Overton.

    All the elite talent bailed for private schools in Shelby County.

    While you’re checking wins and losses, please refer to the team that is picked over Indy and tell me what happened between their common opponent. (Centennial)…They will make it farther than you’re giving them credit for. 

    The whole bracket is weak.  TSSAA adding a 4th classification in basketball is laughable.  Covid killed public school basketball in Memphis - Houston hasn't been there in like 60 years.   

    Congrats, you beat Centennial.   Nobody cares.

    There is a very good chance Matt Lowe is your next head football coach. He is a front runner for the position. It has also at least peaked Rusty Bradley's interest. There are some other notable private sector names in this one. There is a lot of interest with some of those being at least one current assistant at CAK. There are also some assistants with some larger Knox County schools that have applied.  I am Captain Guru and I approve this message. 

     

    Hearing the same.  Big names in on this one.

    Coaching high school football is not nuclear science.  Most people like to make their jobs sound like the most difficult in the world that only a small fraction of the population could possibly do well.  That's human nature.  Head high school football coaches are no exception.  For that matter, head middle school football coaches are no exception.  Normally athletic directors are totally bought in as well.  Maybe this is a form of job insurance for people in every profession.  Make people, and especially your boss, think that what you do requires an extremely amount of experience and that maybe .0000000001% of the population can do as well as you are doing.

    Most people who could have been highly successful high school coaches did not major in education while in college.  They went for careers that promised much higher pay.  I do not intend to be mean spirited here, I am simply stating the truth.  A fact.  It is what it is and in this case that is a simple fact.  

    Being a successful high school football coach requires above average intelligence for sure.  It requires a lot of intangibles as well.  A correct "sense" of who should play what position.  A sense of the personality of the team and of each player and thereby knowing how to motivate the individual and the team.  Also, how to develop an offensive and defensive game plan that, based on what you have to work with, compared to your opponent each week, give you the best chance of winning instead of thinking they must try to look as much as possible like the teams they see on television each weekend.

    How many spread teams has Huntingdon's double wing and single wing blown off the field the past several years.  Many times the teams they blow out have much larger enrollments than their own.  Same with Union City.

    I saw Lake County win a state championship about three years ago with the QB running the ball 9 times out of 10.  

    Hey, if you have a gunslinger and several exceptional receivers then spread it out and go with the run and gun.  Usually, at most high schools, you will not have the athletes to do that.  The smaller the school the less often you will.

    Well said.

    Sure, hire him as an assistant. But why hire him as the HS head coach? What has he done on the high school level to earn a job like Blackman to compete against Oakland? Come on now. Pierce is a good person and really good middle school coach. But 6A football is a huge jump. 

    It's high school football, not the NFL.   I've seen much less qualified people get head coaching jobs.   Chandler Tygard coached at Jackson Northside (which is basically a dead program) and got the Blackman job.  It's not like he has some long pedigreed resume, and then left for Cleveland.  People that act like 6A football is some big jump that people just can't handle is such a an excuse.    You have to keep the talent at Blackman to beat Oakland.....Nobody would be more invested than Jay.
