You are in the Ozone layer Big E.

Ok, fair enough.

So are you already try to put doubt about hiring Coach Taylor? I know you are a Jones supporter. So you wanted Jones DC Abernathy to get the job? That just would have led to more of the same chaos that Jones created. Or maybe you wanted the DC from Brentwood Academy. He got fired from there because they had a great offense with MacIntyre but couldn't stop anyone. Or maybe Cortez from LC\WB. I heard he was in the running also. So tell us about this so-called split decision? Instead of casting doubt tell us who you wanted for HC? Don't sit on the fence with this split decision stuff

I pray y God will comfort RW in her time of grief and loss.

Will there be a decision made on this job in time to have spring football practice?

Well l guess the administration should just shut the Bearden Football program down. I guess interviews went bad and no one worth anything will walk into the school to be the HC and keep the recruits there so all the good work that Coach Jones did won't go to waste! Bearden people just don't realize the great situation, culture and recruits that Coach Jones established. Maybe they can take the non recruited players that are left and just play a combined JV/freshmen schedule. The upcoming non recruited seniors will just have to realize that football is over for them and concentrate on ACT/SAT test, applying for colleges, improving their GPA and their social lives. I bet prom is not far away. Not a great loss to the program as the non recruited upcoming seniors probably weren't good enough to play over what ever recruited players are left left. If the combined JV/freshman plan doesn't work then maybe the non recruited players that are left could combine with the rugby team and get some off the books scrimmages. They could play over at the old Jr High field. If that doesn't work then maybe the could play some travel ball in the winter. I bet Coach Jones could get them some games on the weekends. It looks bleak but l am glad that SRR has kept us informed on this dire situation at Bearden. Maybe he could talk to some of his coaching contacts and convince them to take a leap of faith,(in their coaching ability to make a dumpster fire a winning program) and walk in the front door and proclaim he is worth anything and is here to save the day.

Well l can tell you that Knox County is nothing like Maryville City. But you know that Barn. One horse town vs a to many horse town. So what we have here is a failure to communicate. But that is why we have what we have, (this thread), right here. Some people you just can't reach. I don't like it any more than anyone else. But that's the way they wants it, well that's the way they gets it

Just an outsider looking in. I have no first hand info. All l have is told to me by others. The question l have is who were the boosters, (or others) that had the "pop" to get the first non faculty HFC hired in Knoxville County Schools by a principal that was in her first job as the head principal of a big school that plays at the top level in public schools in Tennessee. And why did this principal let all of these issues get out of hand. Did anyone not tell Coach Jones what should be happening and what most definitely should never happen. It seems to me they said, (who ever they were) let's do this and see how it plays out then will will deal with the fall out later. Plus what happened to these boosters, or others now? Have they been banned from participating or did their players leave. Or maybe these people with "pop" were just opportunist trying to get what they wanted, Jones as the HC.

l heard a fromer HC in E. Tennessee and his son are going to Lakeway as assistant coaches.

How do you think they got Jones as the HC? Booster club/supporters/influencers/hangarounders, how ever you want to describe them had a big influence in hiring Jones.

So is or has Pemberton left Campbell Co?

Well has this certain assistant applied for this job? Why does the AD need to call this certain assistant? Why doesn't this certain assistant at Powell call the AD himself. Can he put out this so called dumpster fire that you claim it is?

Ok

There is another thread on this subject. There is no info on the HC job over there either. Who have you heard is not interested in this Job?
