Chase Brooks is a great coach. ER has great kids. Pretty solid combination they'll be in the title conversation for the foreseeable future. If some of yall geniuses don't run him off anyway.

The Coaching community is pretty tight. They'll hire an old washed up has been or a young know it all who aint ready. No one who is any good will send their resume in after that mess. At least not while the Principal and AD are in the building.

To me the model shouldn’t be about “fair”. This is America the only thing fair worth talking about is the one with funnel cakes. A model containing relegations for the worst performing and promotions for the greatest is not about fair. It is about competitive balance. How is it good for the game to have the same teams in the semis every year and the same teams winning 0-2 every year? It’s not so the Ohio and California models have relegation in place. it’s about keeping kids involved and programs afloat. Don’t believe this is a good plan for college but for high school there are states who do it and it’s created a lot more parity which I think is worth a conversation. 1-9 teams making playoffs shows the Tennessee model is a joke to begin with too and has been for what 15 years?

I know Franklin, Coffee, and Sweetwater finished their seasons with interims. Not sure if any took the interim tag off or if all those will open up.

Smyrna went dancing again in 2010 and lost a close one. No Gray or Wilks then either. I agree it is nowhere close to what were seeing from Oakland or particularly Maryville. I do believe for those 5 years Smyrna was the standard in the mid state and the conversation was about "mantle's" being passed. That was a pretty great run they had I think those years have been forgotten a lot though.

I agree except I think Smyrna has something to say from 2005-2008. Those teams get overlooked.

Well just how big a boy are ya? Im tougher den a 2 dollar steak! Yall got you a squarin off place over dar? By Gawd

Anyone who thinks Sharp needs to be let go at Lewis County is probably paralyzed from the ears and up. One of the most respected Coaches in the mid state.

Good lord...politics make my tummy hurt. Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, if these numbers do not go down, we wont be having football. So put ya silly masks on and quit ya squabblin! I need sports dag gummit!

The problem with Grundy County is Grundy County. You folks care too much which side of the mountain whoever was born on. Then if an outsider comes in your xenophobia cranks up. So there's never an opportunity for authority or leadership to really get things done at any level. There are so many talented kids who are leaving the system to attend school in Marion or Coffee or Sequatchie depending on the sport. Yall are the lowest paying county in the state for teachers if my memory serves, but its not as if you're the lowest populated and you only have to support ONE public High School. Grundy can and should be a fantastic place. The potential for a close knit community where the ENTIRE County supports kids is there if yall can stop your clanish tribal squabbling. You have intelligent, kind, generous people at heart who I believe sincerely mean well and want their kids to stay. You have big country kids who aren't afraid of hard work. So why aren't you winning in 3A? Why can't you beat Cannon, Bledsoe, Whitwell, or teams with similar demographics and economic situations? How many Coaches, AD's, Board Members, Local politicians, etc. have yall been through the past 10 years? Why was Coach Bryant fired again? And the saddest part is the kids and parents most capable of improving matters in the future, they are being poached by AAU, Travel baseball, and football coaches in surrounding areas while theyre in the Middle Grades, and attending high school elsewhere. And yall want to fire coaches every 6 months. Yall need stability and continuity, and support the coach you have. He's a good man and a good role model he just needs an offensive coordinator by the looks of it. Stop sending death threats to ya coaches and try not to burn any important buildings down and one day yall might win some ball games.

L.O.D Rush Propst is the Head Coach at Colquitt County Georgia and wins state and makes like 125,000 every year. Jeremy Pruitt worked under him at Hoover Alabama when they were featured on an MTV Reality show. Propst is probably the most well known High School coach in America. Coletrain is joking.

Might be thinking Giles County. Don't forget Mac McCurry either. To say there isn't such a thing as white privilege would be naive, but things are much better now then they were even 10 years ago. A day will come when its about job performance and nothing else. I think you'd agree its still easier for some people to get second chances then others, but the beauty of athletics is at the end of the day the color of the jersey is all that matters when it comes to the players.

Oh I haven't heard of that, I had only heard of the speed the Pirates have coming up. Greenback for several years now has been a mainstay, so imo the top 3 are all interchangeable. Maybe even top 4 with Lake County continuing to improve every year. Lots of good ball being played in 1A

Maybe he left because probably the greatest coach in TN HS Football History wasn't appreciated in the Boro, and is now in a place where winning is more appreciated? 2-4 aren't even reasons btw, you're just mud slinging. People are already accusing Creasy of recruiting when he doesn't need to. Kids want to be a champion. They used to want to go to Riverdale. Now Riverdale is full of sour grapes and excuses it looks like. So they'll go to Oakland.

1 - South Pittsburg 2 - Greenback 3 - Huntingdon 4 - Lake County 5 - Coalfield 6 - Oliver Springs 7 - Mt. Pleasant 8 - Cornersville 9 - Whitwell 10 - Moore County
