UC has some quality athletes. Sloppy play tonight though. They STILL can't defend the pass. From what I've seen, they don't have the coaching to make it to Chattanooga. But best of luck.

What I'm hearing is UC will struggle to make the playoffs. Big down turn in the program with coaching change.

That is probably accurate. The math says that's an average of 4.06 years per coach. Makes you scratch your head and wonder.

It will likely be someone from outside the area looking for their first HC position. If not, they will have to promote from within (unlikely scenario). As far as building the program back. They must first have a program. No coach has had a long tenure at OC. 7 to 8 years is max there. Seldom are those years above .500. Two coaches that come to mind who had limited success there and extremely successful post OC careers are Pratt and Bowling. OC is not an environment condusive to winning football.

I'm all for a West TN site. BUT, there are no suitable locations. There is no good location in Jackson. UTM parking is bad. Bethel can't accommodate the crowd. Neither Martin or Mckenzie has anything to offer as far as hotels, restaurants, etc. And I wouldn't recommend Memphis for anything. So you've got Middle and East TN for options.

Union City in a big way in this one. BUT BEWARE, the Pilots have a history of getting into fisticuffs. Especially when being embarrassed. Don't want any of the Tornadoes ejected and made ineligible for next week's game.

Let them go. In three years they will be begging the TSSAA to let them back in because they have collapsed under the weight of all the corruption that will take place.

Interesting. The kicker may be the insurance and coaching stipend.

The Union City system is separate from Obion Co, like Milan and Gibson Co. The Union City system pays much better and the majority of the insurance is covered by the school system. He is likely much better off than in Tipton.

Article said more than 60. Last time I checked 150 was more than 60.

My understanding is there were over 150 applicants for the job. Hmmm!?

Not a great hire IMO. Sure your system doesn't change to cut down on learning a new offense, but your system doesn't change. Union City is struggling with numbers. I don't see that changing.

Rumor going around about a Coach Fran from Louisiana is interviewing.

You are correct sir. I miss read. Jokur may very well be correct. The veer is a great offense for teams struggling with talent. It is an equalizer. But I don't see Alabama running it.

I hope he is successful. The veer is a great offense. I agree. I just don't know how well it will work with today's generation of player. If there is little talent at OB like you say, then this move makes more sense.
