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

But it's not for everyone either. Wilco probably puts more responsibility on their coaches than they do in Wilson, Sumner or RuCo

What fun would that be?

Rankin wouldn't have been the only coach with a gold ball that would have given him a recommendation either. At some point, allowing a HC to stay for 22 years with a Win % of 43 tells you all you need to know about what they think of football

You can dish it out, but you sure can't take it. It's ok, maybe by next season your hero will have figured out how to stop the Wing-T

They are just interviewing candidates right now. Not alot of names worth mentioning but there are a few. Wilco Coach should stay where he is at

Shaking at my head at those of you big mad at Alcoa for allowing out of county kids if they pay tuition, your really gonna be mad when you find out how many counties allow those same students to transfer for no tuition fee at all I'm sure the haters will find something else to complain about next month

I'm a "have no tolerance for idiots" guy. Not that hard to figure out what team I support if you spent a few minutes on something other than the nonsense you post every day. Run along now, I'm sure Gillum is wondering where his manservant is right about now

Right there with ya, it makes no sense to me but then again they let the other guy be the HC for 22 seasons

It's a job that has alot of potential but even if they hire the right guy, first few years are gonna be a struggle

Kit Hartsfield wasn't given a chance to turn them down. Lawrence County didn't want to upset the status quo so they promoted within

Newest school in RuCo, only in its 6th year. Probably the fastest growing area in Murfreesboro, but is going to require some patience and someone that can keep them from hemorrhaging talent to other schools. Reclassification to 3-6A being all RuCo probably scares off a few potential applicants
