This thread reminds me it's better to be right than to be first. The posters that are in the know rarely create threads like this

Only an hour and change difference bewteen Moeller and MUS. I'd choose Moeller too

I like this idea and my team is Oakland. Nobody wants to see the same matchups over and over again, unless your a fan of either team. Anything is better than the current format

JPII and Rockvale are filled

Your not wrong, but I see names like Comer, Swenson and Jacobs being tossed around, they are in situations that are just as good as HC without the burden of replacing guys like the 15 year run HC just had. Short of Oakland falling apart, Kriesky has probably taken Riverdale as far as he can. If I'm HC, I'd at least make that call

Suprised nobody has brought up Will Kriesky. Communities like HC love hiring one of their own and for the last 2 years, Riverdale has been right there with Oakland

Don't think I said they didn't. I like Stewart, think he's a fantastic coach, think the guy he replaced is a good coach too. Counce is in his 50s now, has had a successful career in West TN. You reach a certain age where not everything is black and white. In the short term, Counce isn't going to win more games than his successor at HC. Long term, Rockvale is a job with alot of potential and is the fastest growing area in Murfreesboro. He'll assemble a good staff and Rockvale won't be fun to play once things are in place

He probably also thought it'd be easier to win at Centennial. Not that easy, ask any HC that's ever been there

If it was money, there would have been plenty of better opportunities than Rockvale. It feels like his tenure at HC got stale and was ready for a challenge. Putting myself in his shoes, having a chance to get out from his dad's shadow probably has a little appeal too. Counce played at MTSU and has alot of friends in coaching in this area so yes it's surprising, but if Rockvale gives him time, I can see him doing well there

Boy this search took a wild turn that I wasn't expecting, this hiring will suprise alot of people

So they can play for a school that actually cares. The proof is in the numbers

Would almost be poetic if a few found their way to Mt. Pleasant

In a perfect world, everyone would use grass and every team would have their own field, but that's not the case. Even the best grass fields can suffer from overuse or playing in bad weather. Week 11 in Middle Tennessee brought monsoon type weather that would tear up (and probably did tear up) alot of fields had they not been played on Field Turf. Turf isnt perfect. When synthetic tire first got popular, it was more of a status symbol for College Teams and Private Schools. Now as demand has grown, it's become much cheaper and without the constant worry of maintenance over 10-20 years. HSFB coaches have a thankless job that have a hundred different responsibilities. I'm not gonna blame them for choosing the cheaper and less time consuming route

Even crazier when your realize Hartsfield has family that coach at LC. They just said what people wanted to hear. Long as the status quo is maintained, they best LC can do is 5 wins and a 1st round exit
