The AD missed several football games for no apparent reason. He has absolutely botched several hired (baseball,football,soccer). Just has no clue what he is doing. It's like UT, when you get a guy that actually cares about the athletic department instead of collecting a check then you will become more successful as a program. Collette is just the AD because he failed as the baseball coach and they had no place else to put him as a tenured teacher.  

I will agree with you that the AD has no clue what he is doing. I will disagree with you on botching hires. Both McKamey and Byrd won at their previous jobs. Both didnt suddenly forget how to coach when they got to Clinton. 

Clinton has an administration issue that likely goes all the way to Central Office. Without backing from the administration it creates a culture where it is impossible to win. 

Parents need to let the coaches coach and the administration needs to back the coaches.

How has Basketball been? Same coach has been there for a long time? Reason? 

Isn't the gym named after his father?

You can add the former boys soccer coach to that list too.  Seems to me that if you can't please all of the parents all of the time, coaches are shown the door.  That can't sound very attractive to a quality HC.     Like SweetScience said, they'll have to pray they find a diamond in the rough if things are going to change.    Unfortunately, that hasn't seemed to work in the last 21yrs.

I think you can add grandparents to that list of people to please.

By my count that is 6 coaches within the past 3.5 years.  Boys soccer, baseball, 2x football, softball, and cheerleading.  

This looks like a systemic symptom of poor leadership.  The question is, where does the poor leadership begin?
