HC coach is a good man, but he should be careful about what he says in regards to Southwind having out of zone players. A lot of people know that HC is supposed to be in 6A based off enrollment but is 5A due to some “adjustment” of numbers. 

Neutral observer. Not great officiating in this game, Moore Co got the short straw on several calls and spots. 

Word on the street is Jon Grudens plane just landed at Ellington airport in Lewisburg. 

I have no issue with Bradley being #1. Other arguments could put Germantown at 1. Wouldn’t be surprised if Oakland or Riverdale beats them by 2 scores in the playoffs though.

i’ll admit on the run play, there should’ve been 1 more second ran off which would’ve left 2 seconds instead of 3. doesn’t really make a difference

Just watched it. Before the run play up the middle there was 11 seconds on the clock. Clock should’ve started on the snap but didn’t until about 3 seconds after the snap. Def not a FC thing because refs control clock. But those 3ish seconds made the difference because that’s the amount on the clock for the final play.

Great points in this discussion , but at the end of the day 1-26 at an historic school in Wilco Land will most likely get you fired most of the time. 

Williamson co coaching pay is not on par with the rest of the state, to fire a guy mid season at the least talented school in the district is wild. Williamson standards are extremely high and wealthy entitled parents can be a nightmare but there is very little support for athletics at the district level. The district self promotes with various PR campaigns but the coaches are the ones doing the heavy lifting and are paid very little for it. If you wanna have high expectations, the pay needs to reflect it. I have zero issue with an SEC coach getting fired mid season because their salaries are 7 figures. I have a big issue with a head coach getting fired mid season who works year round and gets paid $8000

If someone is a high school football coach and educator in Metro Nashville Public Schools, why would someone not leave for a good coaching position in Williamson County?  The retirement benefits would remain the same and the pay should be better along with better working conditions.

Big misconception that Williamson pays better. It doesn’t. Coaching wise it’s way below average. Teacher wise it’s average.

Who's the next coach?

Nobody in willco cares

He's also the AD at Centennial, so it will be

Head coach supplement in RuCo is 22%. Willco is 17%. AD supplement in Willco is $4000. Teaching salary is identical. If it is a paycut, it’s not a big one. And is significantly less work and time.

Centennial may have dropped to 5A but they are in a region with Page and Nolensville, so not that easy. Biggest question is will Kriesky be ok with the pay cut. For Crouch, Blackman will actually be a pay raise

Won’t be a pay cut

Osteen would be a good hire, he's racked up a lot of wins at MC and kinda surprised nobody else has hired away from MC yet. Can't dispute Palmer's record, but the circumstances around his departure at Shelbyville probably hurts him 

I agree that Osteen is a top notch coach. I doubt he would take the Blackman job though. MC has block scheduling and they start football everyday at 1 pm. Which means he’s home 2-3 hours earlier than most coaches. Great system for coaches with families and would be tough to leave. 

Main reason Rang left is because athletics were taken out of school. Oak Ridge is a much better job than LC anyways. Made sense. Coaches spend so much time away from family especially during the season. If you aren’t lifting weights, you aren’t going to win. Taking away a lifting period during school and forcing it to be after school before practice is insane. Kids setting home at 6:30ish and coaches getting home at 7:00ish. Make block scheduling great again.

Only one school in Rutherford county is open zone and that is Oakland. Is it open zone on paper? No. But they have the IB program which essentially makes them open zone. It’s a Rutherford county all star team as a result. Oh and Jordan James lived in Brentwood, not sure how they swung that but oh well.

You say there's no product to sell, yet the state mandates that all kids are educated. While I agree with your assessment (officials need a raise), I disagree with most everything else. If you're a capitalist, you know the "law" of supply and demand. We're at a low point regarding job performance and availability, necessitating a salary increase... TSSAA will make it happen willfully, or they'll be forced to in order to continue their own revenue stream. Not trying to enter into a debate about when, but you can rest assured that they will not jeopardize their own existence, and no officials equals no TSSAA.

  You really need to research your salary figures too...way off, but irrelevant in this discussion.

Reading comprehension is apparently a lost art. Not gonna say how I know that the salaries are accurate but let’s just say I “work closely” to public education. You completely missed the point that public ed uses a corporate model where administrators make tons of money and the little guy barely survives. When inflation goes up by 5% due to printing money, corporations raise their products by 5% and as a result workers wages are increased likewise. Government work (teaching, coaching, officiating, etc) are outside the economic market and are based upon tax revenue, not by selling products or services. Inflation goes up because of money printing and government wages stay the same. This is the case for teachers and officials. Why would someone become a teacher, coach, or official when they can flip burgers or work in retail for more money. Almost every corporation has given 5% raises this year because they’ve increased the price of their products. Officials don’t have a tangible product to sell and are at the mercy of working under a corporate model where all the money is hoarded at the top. 

Overall economic decline is killing everything associated with public education. Public education follows a corporate model where you have high administrative overhead (bosses make a lot) and workers make a livable wage. When inflation goes up, corporations raise prices and employee pay in lockstep with inflation. The problem with public education using the corporate model is they don’t have a product to sell so there isn’t a price hike that increases the pay for the employee. Teachers are leaving teaching and coaching in droves because of stagnant wages, whereas administrators are not because they make significant wages. Example: large county principals make close to $130k, assistant principals make $100k, and teachers make $37k. Textbook corporate model. T$$AA is no different. Referees and others that get things done make nothing, while a very few individuals make significant money at the top. I am a capitalist conservative, but it’s moronic for public ed and T$$AA to follow a corporate model. The more inflation goes up, the more teachers, coaches, referees, etc will be leaving the job forever. 

Rang has done a great job with LC, proof that a 6a style offense can work in 2a 

Kermit Reed is your man, look no further. 

Gotta kick there and play for OT

Principal at Central is bad, real bad. Had teaching spots for those coaches and then took them away.
