Questions

I think its because no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room. Picking a guy with 2 years of coaching experience to head up a team that just won a state championship. As I posted in the other thread, who else applied?

Seems like an odd choice. Young guy with only a couple years under his belt. I wonder who else applied

Yes they did. My concern is school is almost over there still is no coach. Coach Estes is doing baseball and Coach Killebrew is with softball. My concern is over kids being ready.

So with Spring Practice theoretically starting next week, will there be a coach named this week? There is not much time left in school.

Seems like a long time to make a hire. Are there any names out there?

So is there anything happening with this job?

Who is your boy?

As an outsider on the situation, my question to the UC haters are why would you not give your kids the best shot at winning a state championship? The TSSAA sets the number to be under. Union city is under that number. If it was someone else as the highest everyone would complain about them having so many kids and beating up "true 1-a" programs. All the teams in 1-a are true 1-a programs because that is where they are placed. Union city does have the chance to play up. But what is best for kids year in and year out. The last two years have been good for Union city but what about the next two years. If you beat them are you ok with them being in 1-A. There will always be people unhappy with te process and decisions of the TSSAA. So my final word is to win your games and you have nothing to complain about.

Did either of those guys apply last time? Why didnt they get it?

OK YSO, if it is true. Who is patrolling the Lion sideline next year.

Ricky Henry from UC. 1000 yards rushing and 21 TDs. As really only played 5 games. Played whole game against Huntingdon and Dresden. All the others he was out cheering for the second half. He also has a kick return for a touchdown. Tristan Jernigan is a good option for lineman as well. However, the state likes bigger guys for this award and so Stewart and Givens will probably be fighting it out for this one but I hope Tristan is mentioned.

With Coach Hodge gone and Coach Rang being a defensive guy, who is going to be call our offense?

I agree with some of your post. But as a player, It was always the job of the players to make sure that their stuff was cleaned whether it be the weightroom or the locker room. Also there is a big difference in the work that goes into keeping any football building cleaned compared to that of a basketball locker room. As the recognition of former players in specific sports, Jonathon may have had something to do with the girls having that stuff up because he has coached some of them. The Hodges are fairly new to the school and could have done some research to find out who was a four sport athlete in any sport. Also are you Bruce's dad, because you only name him specifically. There have been others to play. I do like what Union City does with their college athletes. I just dont know where they would put them in Dresden's Gym. Also stats for girls basketball is very easy to determine and limited. Points and Rebounds. For football you can do touchdown (passes and rushing and receiving and total) tackles, tackle for loss, sacks, pancakes, interceptions, receptions. Because if you leave one out then someone will be mad.

That is the stem of everyone's frustration, just pick someone move on and let that coach get to work. Whoever it may be

In fact it is probably a terrible idea that he was even interviewed.
