You can't believe anything I bring to the board but I was told that its looking like Tracy Malone/his to lose

Lol well said good sir. I can actually respect your position and what you have to say. I happily went down this rabbit hole with only one person who wanted to argue because feelings were hurt. Truth does hurt sometimes, and sometimes, it's fun to play the villain. I truly hope the county finds a way to stop eating it's own one day. Sincerely, Old Crow Medicine Show

Sir you are 110% correct, at the end of the day, it falls on the coaches. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Shout out to John, great man and mentor to some. Whether or not you all want to be blind or ignorant of what else it takes to have a adequately manned and qualified staff, to build and sustain a program that can't keep up with the competition whom have communities and administration that are pouring, and investing into and supporting their program rather than tear it apart, griping about their son's playing time, that is your decision to do so. Kids are products of their environment. It's like many parents who expect teachers to raise their kids for them and get mad when they didn't turn out better. You can lead the horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Some of the horses in Madisonville and Vonore aren't what they use to be, blue collared, tough, with a chip on their shoulder. Parenting, times changing, whatever it is. Yes, the proof will forever be in the pudding and I know that none of us can wait to taste it.

Lol Frazier's text read "never heard of him", I'm sure he just forgot. I'm not the one riding my brother's you know what.. That's some banjos off in the distance back in the holler kind of stuff lol. Alright boss, you do you and I'll keep eating my popcorn from afar.

Oh don't forget the sequoyah AD

Unfortunately there were more confirmations on the application itself coming out of Sweetwater. To think this wouldn't get out is hilarious. Thankfully it's just fake news right? And someone's got to play the victim!

That would be Mark Ingram. Yall know better than anyone else, understood. No, Vestal didn't post someone's job prematurely either and lie about it being from a "Sequoyah High School" in Georgia. don't even have the stomach to be straight up about that, he was FRAMED. Nor did he lie about knowing an equipment manager at UTK who could get kids a full scholarship for just to be a manager. Dude had know idea who your brother was. LIES LIES LIES lol

It's the mayor's brother if that helps. Last time I name dropped your panties got in a wad.

Someone on here wanted to note that there hasn't been a decent staff since Satterfield. My point to you and anyone else is you had coaches on the previous staff who got their start under Bill and was on the staff the last time Sequoyah reached the 2nd round of the playoffs in 2012, I believe? You had a head coach with connections everywhere and a track record that showed experience in the SEC while as a GA at Tennessee under John Chavis and Monte Kiffin and also had a stint in an off field capacity at the Cleveland Browns I think as a QB Analyst. So you all say Bolinger doesn't know football? Doesn't understand that he needs a strong supporting cast around him? He was told "No" a minimum of 12 times, when trying to bring in QUALITY coaches. The previous staff, which was already left short-handed, was also asked to stay after high school practice and coach the middle school one year. If YOU weren't front and center to witness all of this, you are only a skeptic at best.

I could be wrong but I don't believe Staff wants it. From my understanding he hasn't even applied for it. I Thought Brett King would be next in line but I know he didn't apply.

But then again, why would that individual be honest and upfront, just the same as Weaver or whoever your other source was? Maybe they're trying to prevent the uproar that would follow. Why even bother thinking of any other possibilities? Everyone tells the truth when they speak, no reason to think for yourself, just take the bait and all is well!

Gotta respect the optimism. Sorry in advance for how it's going to play out. Maybe they can at least snap the streak.

Hope you got your 10k. Ask the assistant director if he did indeed apply. I'm sure you can figure out who that person is since you seem to have the pulse of everything going on.

It will be a revolving door and stepping stone for years to come. The damage has already been done, your current coach would rather coach your biggest rival. What kid wants to play for that?

How am I attacking anyone's character when it's been made blatantly obvious to those that were close enough to a situation and witnessed it play out the way that it did? It ain't gossip when you see it, hear it, and fact check it by asking supposed relationships/connections. Should I apologize for giving a crap about the community and the kids in it? Me finding humor in Vestal applying at Sweetwater isn't me coming for him. He has no reason to be loyal to Sequoyah other than the fact that he took a job to become the leader of that program. He is free to do as he pleases. Just as we all do, coming under scrutiny is just a potential byproduct of that. Everyone on this message board is free to scroll right on past anything I put on here, but I will speak to what I know and believe to be true, same as you. You chose to reply to one of my messages, that was your choice. If I'm wrong, so be it, but I can make presumptions based on the evidence I have been given and carry zero guilt because I've done my homework. I don't give a darn if Vestal goes, or if he stays, it makes no difference to me. At the end of the day, the kids are the ones who are being done a disservice, and that falls on more than just whoever the head coach at good ole Sequoyah happens to be.
