Stanton I’m told

Clinton would sure like him to leave. He has wore out his welcome for sure. The locals have grown tired of his BS. He talks a big game...recruits some big players...can't win. The local mob will run him out very soon.

Don’t know names but a Grace assistant, a Karns coordinator and a long time Fulton assistant applied too. Just talked about this today actually.

Maybe they should. Maybe Coach Keith can get a few of them to move into his basement with the others and still only win 2 games a season.

Marlon Walls, I forget the 2nd one and the Head Coach at Clinton Keith. Also someone told me a long time assistant from Fulton applied. Apparently he’s been there for over twenty years and didn’t get a sniff the past two coaching changes? I don’t know.

So from what I know a couple former Vols applied. The Clinton coach applied. There is a few out of state applicants and some local assistants.

Thanks for the update.

From my understanding they have began contacting all potential candidates.

I just spoke to someone who if good friends with him and he said he isn't leaving his job he has currently. It'd be a huge paycut.

Talking with a buddy last night who had a lot to do with the last Greenback hire and he was telling me he knows one of the “applicants” and said he hopes he gets it. Problem is that applicant told him he’s 100% sure he won’t even be considered even though he has one heck of a coaching resume and knows the AD personally. I’m not saying I think he should or shouldn’t be considered because I don’t know him tbh, but it does raise a question about the hiring process for athletics in this area. The Good ole boy system is heavily in place for one. We saw it up here in Greenback! And 2, I’ve noticed schools hiring a “name” not an actually proven Coach. Maybe that’s just me I don’t know. But I remember going to AE when I was in school and it was a rowdy fun football atmosphere! They used to do that chant and hit their pads when they came out! Just menacing!

Who are some real names people know have applied?

Who are some surprises? But who are the WHOES!?

Who are some surprises? But who are the WHOES!?

I don’t think it’s a laughable job at all! I think it’s a potential state champion in waiting actually! Maybe I worded that the wrong way that’s on me.

oh wow.

I'm reading that the DC as became the HC at South Doyle. Who do you think Coach Long will add and subtract to his staff at Fulton? Any former coaches coming back? Any coaches from other schools coming over? Did he bring anyone from Grace?

What is the culture at AE? Serious question. What I mean by this is the next head coach supposed to be supportive of a certain type of music? political affilication? Does he have to be of a certain race? Back to my question of the culture at AE, it seems to me the current "culture" there hasn't produced a positive result in years. Before you start, I don't mean it needs to be "white washed" so don't go there...what I mean is why hire a coach that is going to "fit" that same culture? Why not hire someone that is going to change it positively? Just my opinion.

I have many friends that are coaches in Knox County....What schools are you referring to that "support with money"? Knox County has a supplement stipend pay scale in place. How would they manage this?

Probably not a zero percent possibility! Lol

Saw the video of a parent flashing cash at the camera. Seemed really dumb.

I have a feeling this hire will be the one that surprises a lot of people.

“Winning in his first year” is exactly what he said! It’s not my brother in law but a friend’s. He coached against AE last year he said and he literally said just that about them! He said he would love a chance to coach the QB (forgot his name). He said he coached at another inner city school (won’t name it) and he might be a better athlete than the ones they had there winning championships. We went through a terrible coaching change here and ended up with a buddy buddy hire that will never work. This is always tough.

I believe you. I’m sure he will. I honestly was just asking. No racial meaning behind it. But I went on Tssaa to research all the head coaches but I didn’t come up with anything so I figured someone would know. A good friend of mines brother in law is a football coach and she said he was talking about all the openings in the area if he would ever apply any what not. We were wanting him to apply at Greenback but they already had their minds made up before any “hiring” processes started here. Thanks for answering my question!

Any chance someone like that would apply again? Again..serious question.
