What about their defense, that's what I would be concerned about with them. Walker Valley would have scored a 100 points on them had it not been for the mercy rule. How could a team be that bad on defense.

Most all youth league coaches work another job and coach for free and I'm sure he isn't on the clock and commission based and coaching job would offset any losses there but who knows the coaching job may even help his sales. Most coaches are tied up at school all day for the same period of time he would be on another job.

The last I heard they were buying land on Simpson Road which is on the backside of Home Depot and beside First Baptist Church of Lenior City. As a bird flies this new school and Lenior City are just shy of being 2 miles apart.

Think you read it wrong tradertwo. Alcoa pays well enough that not many are willing to leave and take less. Maryville. The two main coaches for Alcoa are former Maryville players and neither one of them could take a cut in pay just to go back home.

Alcoa pays much better than most to jump up and leave.

Well we finally have a coach at Knox Central, if they hadn't have picked by Friday Feb. the 2nd I was ready for Punxsutawney Phil to make the hire.

After watching that Baylor and McCallie game before 20,000 people and to think of Catholic playing at a place that is more in line for a decent 3A school. Always dreaded going there to play because I'm not one of those that wants to go 2 hours before a game to get a seat.

Rickey Townsend was All-American barefoot kicker for Tennessee his soph. and junior seasons.

It's good to see he is getting to bring in someone himself. I'm curious if Slover is still there teaching or has found another job coaching somewhere else.

Know who your talking about right there, acting like a pack of inbreds is more like it.

I hated it when Jeff Phillips moved on. They put some points on the board and the following year they completley tanked. His last 5 years they averaged 475 points a year and the first season after he's gone they scored 42 all year long. What in the ale happened. I watched them twice last year on film and it surprised me they find a better QB in Cherry just before halftime in the Carter game but the damage was done. What am I missing Turtle.

If I were a coach and my team lost the last thing I would want to see is one of my players doing a photo shoot with the family and friends like nothing happened. I would just tell my fan base we treat losing a game like death and nobody goes to a funeral doing that crap out of respect and I expect that out of you and my players. Doing stuff like that goes against everything known to man if your trying to build a winning culture.

Well I hope him the best at HVA and he can help their program out. Glad to see they finally got a coach.

So what your saying is we were led to believe it was the hamburgers on the left but in reality it's the ones on the right, got ya.

Biggest issue for Carter is to stop kids from leaving there and stay home. Right now they look like Alcoa's triple AAA farm club.

A good friend from Carter told me he is going to the State of Georgia to coach due to a positive situation for a family member. Don't want to say anymore but most any good parent is going to the limit for one of their kids and hope him the best.

The HVA hire would have been a home run for Central but for HVA his job will be like turning Chicken Chit into Chicken Salad.

Beggars can't be choosy and that's what Central has made their self look like through this process farting around.

No BigTime he was the running back coach.

Great info Elias, honestly this would have been a better fit for knox Central with their rich history in football and a place just needing a great coach because the players are there. I'm not sold Nick Saben can change the culture at HVA because it's been in them to long.

Well what do we know about Tyler Wynn.

It has been a very quiet few months. The only thing coming out of that place since football season ended has been the Basketball team, the article about the vouchers and the lady wanting to remove a book from the library that wasn't suitable for 15 and 16 year olds to read but the director of schools and the board are ok with it.

I would give anything to know why he really left Maryville. He had opportunities to leave earlier in his coaching career and passed them up. Had he stayed I firmly believe the two state championships that were won after he left would have still been the only two had he stayed.

Surley one of the assistant coaches are conducting winter work outs or as I said earlier they could have a 25 man football team. Who would want to waste their time on the unknown at HVA.
