Surely not. Surely Cleveland is the place he will stay at for more than two years. If not, that has to be a HUGE red flag to administrators.

Why did Neal get ran out? I'm on the outside here in middle TN, but he has a really good record there including a state championship. Did he get on the bad side of the wrong parent?

LOL

Smells like the first one. I’m not for sure, but I don’t think he’s even the offense or defensive coordinator at Gallatin.

Heard the same thing. The current administration will probably go with the less qualified guy.

You’re off on the demographic part. You’re describing the Franklin demographics 15 years ago, it’s now mostly affluent. Most of the blue collar kids are zoned for Centennial or Indy.

Franklin has very nice facilities, but they do have many other problems.

Ravenwood is playing a lot of Juniors and Sophomores, and sustained a couple of injuries in their last scrimmage. Alcoa should win this one despite how many kids Ravenwood has on their roster.

The schedule isn't as bad as it could be. They will probably lose to both Ravenwood and Brentwood, but they are the only non-region games I see them losing. Riverdale is probably the favorite to be 2nd from what I am hearing, but Blackman should beat Rockvale and siegel so that puts them about 6-4.

Thread has been quiet. How are things going? Has Blaze bought in to Coach K?

Know what Wilco assistants are in the running?

I get what you're saying, but the truth is coaches are going to coach what they know. It's easy to say just run that offense and you will win, but coaches can't be someone they are not. I don't think the reason why they lose to Middle and east TN teams is because of the offensive schemes. I think there's a lot more to it than that.

Our East Nashville fan doesn't buy that haha.

Back to Centennial. Spring break ends for Williamson this week so maybe we will find out the new Head Coach this upcoming week??

Up tempo power spread. Not Wingt T

In fairness, I kinda threw a shot at his team when I brought up WIlco's success against Henry County. He probably has an axe to grind with Montgomery County schools all opting to play 6a which puts Henry in a much tougher region haha.

How is population that big of a factor? HC is bigger than page by like 200 students. Centennial and Nolensville are about the same as HC and the 6a schools are only larger by about 2-3 hundred students. If population was that big of a factor Collierville and Bartlet would be winning the championship every year. The money is not what you think it is. Yes, the county is wealthy, but it's all divided amongst the schools, and they put academics first. Whereas in Henry County, it's all concentrated on one high school. Ok. If that's the case, HC has been even more overwhelming, and everyone not named Oakland and Alcoa have been underwhelming.

The population is divided amongst 9 other high schools and close to private schools, which HC is not close to one. The money is also divided. In 5a, Wilco has been pretty dominant. Since 2015, a Wilco team has made it to the state championship game 6 of the 8 years. In 6a, 4 of 8. What do you consider dominant? Oakland like in 6a? (No school in Wilco will come close to the talent level of Oakland) Alcoa like in 3a? Very hard to find that

Not surprised. He's a school guy and is very well respected in this area.

Lol what resources are you talking about? Williamson schools doesn't have a football athletic period during the day like you do, or a huge indoor facility like you do, or the whole county to yourself with as much community support as anyone in the state. Henry County should never lose to Page who by the way is smaller in enrollment than Henry County, and y'all lost two years in a row to them. There isn't generally a dominant program over the others because there's a lot of parity.

So who is the name? Heard it's a big time metro coach, but did not hear for sure who it was. Stewart? Woods?

You're right about the coaching pay. The teacher pay is well below Metro, but is still 6th or 7th in the state which would definitely be above average compared to the rest of the state.

What's going on?

The road is my point. If you are playing Henry County, you are in the semifinals, and if you play one of the East TN juggernauts, you are in the state championship haha. Hopefully, nobody from the HC thread see's this but we all know the success Williamson schools have had against Henry County. I get your point in saying they have a good situation where they are at, and it's probably true when it comes to just football, but coaches also have jobs in the school building during the school day and there's a reason why Metro has a VERY hard time hiring teachers despite the high pay. I am not surprised that there are Metro coaches interested in this job.

The road to a state championship is much easier in 5a. Yes, Page and Nolensville is in the region, but look at the rest of the region. Centennial and Williamson County schools have had huge success in 5a. Cane Ridge is in a favorable region, but most likely 3 out 4 will get beat by the Williamson County 6a region in the playoffs. 2019 3 out of 4 got beat in the first round by Williamson and 2020 all 4 got beat in the first round. Yes, the pay is better in Metro, but Williamson County is the best system to work in if you are an educator. Talent is better in Metro, but 8 out of 10 times Metro Schools lose to Williamson schools. I don't know if that is the exact ratio, but it's a lot.
