Not as easy as "They are there now if it's a problem now, why not already leave?" The Mascot got magnified this year, was brought before the board on a vote, and was in several news stories (paper and TV) The parents/kids did not know this would happen when they signed up. It has caused a lot of tension at the school and even on the coaching staff with some coaches not wanting to wear gear that said "Rebels". It deeply affected the football team this year as it was at the least a distracting topic all season. If a kid files for a hardship pertaining to the mascot and FC declines it they are setting themselves up for a lawsuit that they won't win in today's culture.

Between the repercussions of this "brawl", the overall poor season, and the Rebel Mascot situation I think FC could be in line for a mass exodus following football season. Tullahoma and Huntland will be the primary beneficiaries probably, with Moore County possibly seeing an addition or two as well. All speculation at this point, but I don't see how any of the Parents/Kids wanting to leave will be forced to sit out a year either. They can file a hardship waiver claiming issues relating to the mascot. I.E. Anyhting regarding racism or racial tension caused by the conversation regarding the mascot. FC would not be able to deny a single one.

Meant give not five

You've been wrong twice, now a third. Don't know when to give up on a bad take do ya?

What's the credentials for Cunningham then? Sell me? All i see is someone who agreed to come, then backed out. Went 0-10 as a OC, in which his offense scored 2 TDs in only 50% of the games they played in. Asst at Blackman for a few years? I don't know the guy, may be a fantastic person. However, that's not the resume of a 5A head coach.

He had multiple chances to come to FC and backed out....

That is true, from what I've heard that one would shock me though.

Dreamer's gonna dream ha! Will be an interesting hire. Seems like there is some optimism with the young talent. Whoever gets the job needs to recruit the hallways first.

I would be shocked if this was true, My understanding is that interviews don't even start till next week.

The absolute only connection i can make, which isn't a good one, is the fact that McCurry was spotted wearing a Whitehaven T-Shirt a few times this year... Could Rodney Saulsberry be interested? Highly unlikely, but literally the only connection to west tn hs football i can come up with.

Anyone know of any FC connections to West Tennessee?

Well....Go on????

Best High School PA announcer in the state! Dedicated, selfless, and loves the Rebels. SO BACK OFF!!! hahaha
