You can also remember when Knott took the job that we were not that good. Then we waited til after dead period to make the hire. That tells me no one wanted the job at the time. Knott was the first one that came along that wanted the job. You are right about him not lasting long luckily we had someone to fill the position inside the school that could take going 0-10. He knew his job was safe no matter what his record was. Then the tssaa changed everything with classifications and our football team got more competitive.Hodge was one of the guys that was on the staff the year we went 7-4 the only team with a winning record that didn't make the playoffs. I don't know if this is true or not but I think Hodge was coaching in east tn before he took the Dresden job and he and his wife got to move back home. So yes Chuck made a great hire with Hodge that's why I say he can do it again. But he is dragging his feet.
