    You may be too harsh on the BOE Barney...there have been plenty of hires made with nothing showing up on background checks, then something similar to this happens and when you dig into it, there's a history there. The real problem is often in the previous situation (if there was one), to avoid a "black eye" it was swept under the rug and a resignation accepted. Kudo's to whomever it was that took swift and severe action.

    This is a gooder point. What y’all don’t know is wearwood was hiring coaches without background checks years ago. It’s nothing new. A smile and a handshake and suddenly a predator is turned loose in a public school. Loudon county is playing catch up.

    oops, forgot:

    Sep 22 Abingdon (Virginia) @ Tennessee High (5A) (Tennessee)
    Sep 29 Gate City (Virginia) @ Tennessee High (5A) (Tennessee)

    Is that really out of state? Bristol high is traveling 10 minutes to those games. Those are more like loophole games than out of state games.

    Not that it matters but for any Lenior City fans that are feeling down over all of this please remember Heritage High had a head coach in the earlier 2000's that divorced his wife and took his newly graduated sweetie and left town with her. Saved them the embarrassment of having to fire him.

    Geez. That sounds like a Newport story. Didn’t know they was doing that out in walland

    Oh no, he’s mid as all heck, and I've never even heard of some of the people you listed except Dolly, and that’s only because of Dollywood, lmfao, but I was saying that’s an insult to Morgan Wallen because that guy is much more uglier than Morgan Wallen.

    That’s a good one. Upon further review I should have said he was a slimmer Kenny powers.

    Insult to Morgan Wallen, but he had them moving in the right direction. He had them playing some really good football. He’s a really good coach, but apparently not a really good guy. I’ve lost all respect for him, and I’m sure many other people have, but it’s a shame what happened to him, and it’s more of a shame for the players, but I hope their intern head coach can keep the team moving in the right direction.

    Didn’t mean to insult Morgan. I’m more of a traditional country fan. I like Merle, Conway, willie, charley pride, Mel McDaniel, and of course Dolly. But I have to admit the kid does make some good music. I was out on flat creek last night drinking miller and playing corn hole when someone started playing his music. I have to admit I enjoyed it.

    According to something I read on Facebook when she walked in and caught them he should have handed her a knife. Her basic female instincts would have kicked in and she would have made everyone a sandwich.

    That’s a good one Barn. In this case she’ll probably need to cut the crust off one of the sandwiches.

    Retired. Coach Fred Sorrells, head football coach and AD brought me to Greeneville to coach football and start the wrestling programin 78. 15 years coaching at GHS and 16 years administration. Retired and began coaching and teaching at Briarcrest Christian in west TN for 9 years. Football for 5 years and wrestling and track for nine years. Retired for good 4 years ago 65 1/2.

    Impressive resume. I know everyone likes to debate multi sport athletes on here, but I think a multi sport coach is a huge advantage for the football program. Having a football coach encouraging his players to wrestle and run track, and having a coach encouraging wrestlers or track athletes to try out for football would a big advantage for any football program. By the schools you’ve been at I have to assume you’re a very good coach and congratulations on the retirement. I’m sure you were ready for a break.

    The background check in Loudon County School system must be a grin and a handshake and go out for a beer afterwards. I bet that cat on the school board who pushed for Milfy as head coach was squirming like a worm on hot ashes yesterday when that went down hoping he didn't screw up on his last big hire.

    They hired a coach that looks like Morgan wallen, and they’re surprised he made a bad choice?? Come on lenoir city. Even Sneedville saw that coming.

    And we're back. Imparting insightful and in depth knowledge to this subject. 

    jan8675309, you’ll be happy to know ol Murph has had a change of heart. LMAOc, notsowise50, FBistoophysicalforme, tlove13, and all the other coaches have my full support. After watching lenoir city make Josh duggar roll over in his grave, and greenback make king david roll over in his grave, I’m extremely grateful to have coaches that don’t  create sensational headlines. I just wish LMAOc could score as much during the season as greenback and lenoir score during the offseason.

    Between Greenback and Lenoir City football programs this is what a good country song is written about. A couple of good p****** videos also.

     

    Official theme song for bussell island football coaches. This not why the tarheel state gave Billy Lenoir a land grant. Campbell and outlaw rolling in their graves. I’m sure this song is acted out at Donna’s on a nightly basis

    Murph I believe you and I could probably fill in a missing piece here and there. I started my coaching career at Tennessee High 1976. Football, Wrestling and track.

    Get the kickstarter going. I’ll make a donation and fill in where I can. That’s quite a résume.  Where are you coaching now?

    This being a Sevier County Thread I wanted to share this true story with everyone. A six or seven years ago I was at the library reading old newspapers and I came across an article regarding a coach for Vonore High School back in 1968 who died of an apparent heart attack while playing at Porter High School. Two years ago I was helping a friend of mine named Dale and I knew he played for Porter in the mid late 60's and I ask him if he played during one of those years that happened. He got quiet and ask me to set down and he started in with not only was he there but on the field as it happened. He told me one of the Vonore players broke a long kickoff and the Vonore coach was running stride for stride as he was headed for the endzone. Dale was the last player that had a shot at the Vonore player and got a good hit on him to save a touchdown. He said when he got up he was carring on and didn't realize what had happened. He told me that coach had a massive heart attack during that big play and if he had it to do over again he would have let the kid of scored a touchdown. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. Later that summer I had a good friend that had went to Townsend High School and they have a school reunion everyyear. I told her I can't find much info about Townsend at the library and she invited me to go. As I was counting down the hours that Saturday morning I got on the computer and ran across that old article regarding that coach again who passed away during that football game. When I walked in I met two people that knew Townsend's history very well. One man was trying to tell me about their most cherished player from the first team back in 1926 I believe and how he went on and played pro football back in those days. That really didn't interest me that much then he said after his playing days he was a pretty famous coach in the area then mentioned he had a long career with Vonore. I then pieced it all together and ask if he died during a football game against Porter High and the man said yes. I sat stunned to death thinking what are the odds you read that article right before coming here and meet two people I've never met before in my life talking about the man I read about that died 53 years ago. The reason I'm telling this story on the Sevier County thread is that man was Labe Gregory and he was the head coach of Sevier County back in 1951 and 1952 before going to Vonore.

    Barney I’m really enjoying the history lesson. I’m surprised to see how many good coaches have came through SCHS and we couldn’t keep them. I wonder why they were so quick to leave back then.
