chs1984

Chris averaged 10 yards a carry. We had 3 backs rush for over 1000 yards on that team. Even more amazing when you consider how little the starters played in the 2nd half because the issue was well decided by halftime.

I believe that was the year that Cleveland’s Tony Styles couldn’t play due to an ankle injury. But I could be thinking about 1995.

Only about 2 or 3 million things…..

Unless it’s a very small 1A school, it’s almost unheard of for the HC to be the AD nowadays. When I was coming up 90 plus percent of HC’s doubled as AD’s.

Wasn’t he at Knox West for quite a few years? The Cleveland situation was just a bad fit from both sides from what I heard. Didn’t hear anything good or bad from his time at Halls. As a coach with a state title on his resume, I’m sure he will land somewhere.

Cleveland 93-95

Here in Georgia, except for a very, very rare exception, you play all of your non-regions first. Once you start region play you face no more non-regions. When I was in Tennessee, I always found it very difficult to get a team up to play a non-region team the last few weeks of the regular season.

Best post in this thread.

Agree with all.

Mr. Barney I agree 100%. Coach Quarles was the runner-up at Chattanooga when they hired their current coach, but consistent with their history, they made the wrong decision. I did not mean this thread to show disrespect to Maryville or Maryville posters, particularly you, who along with Midtennfootball, are, to me, the most respected posters on this board.

I know that he won like 10,000 games, and lost like 2 in high school. Yet he takes over a league champion in college and goes 3-8. Could it be that he just happened to be the man sitting in the office in high school, and quite a few coaches could’ve won just as many games???

In cases like Glencliff, and Howard, were they to have to go to 6A, the best decisions would be to play non-region, or simply drop the programs. BTW, it’s difficult to believe that just over 20 years ago Glencliff was state runner-up in the largest class? I asked a friend who lives in Nashville what changed? He told me about the makeup of the community changing completely.

I know that you have to take them one at a time, but by far the biggest challenge that you guys will face will come in two weeks!

While I agree it is a slippery slope, it seems crazy to have a group that has zero interest in football being the ones that determine which classification the football team plays in. Howard will never be able to compete in 5A. The head coach that left there a couple of years ago and I have mutual friends. He left for this very reason.

3 seasons. Had to follow a very successful coach though, which didn’t help.

But not completely unexpected. Shawn Peek was fired as head coach at Chattooga High School this morning.

Is reporting Chattanooga will be granted a two year extension to host the Blue Cross Bowl.

For the second straight day the coach of a monster job was fired here in Georgia. One was fired one year to the day after he was hired, the other was more successful, he made it two years before being escorted out the front door. “To whom much is given…..”

Don’t know but I did hear Chattanooga got a preliminary two year extension on the Blue Cross Bowl.

This has zero to do with Tennessee high school football, but I felt it was worth repeating. There is a school named Cass High in NW Georgia who going into this past weekend’s 1st Round Georgia Playoffs had not won a playoff game since the 1983 season. They pulled, by far, the biggest upset in the state this weekend. Their HC in a interview with Georgia High School Football Daily this morning made the following statement: “It has always been said, ‘oh great, we get to play Cass this week.’ Well, we are working hard to change that to ‘oh no, we have to play Cass this week’”

The last 4 Cleveland hires had coached in Game 15 and 3 of them had won it. Don’t know if that’s a prerequisite or a coincidence.

OK thanks. Every state is different. I have a good friend here in Georgia who retired with 38 years, and came back full time the very next year. He told me he was really rolling in the dough. Georgia closed that loophole a couple of years later and he had to cut back to part time. Unless it has changed, you can retire at 25 years in Alabama. But, you can’t come back unless it’s at a private or in another state. If you do, you forfeit the right to draw your retirement for 7 years.

Valid point.

No dog in this, but it will be tough for Catholic to build a program to compete with the teams they now must play, no matter who is coach.

From what I heard he would’ve taken the job years ago, but they went in another direction. Of course, the situation with the administration might be different now, plus I don’t know how it would effect him drawing his retirement.
