    Good riddance, the real question is who will be next HC? Anyone from current 

    Is Pemberton's OC & DC along with coaching staff gonna follow him to Campbell Co.  Is there anyone on the current staff that will transition to HC at Rhea or are they just wanting to start over???  Whats your thoughts Eagle faithful...

    Yea I did that and nothing up to date on either schools site. I just know that Campbell county pays an 11 month schedule and most schools dont do that.

    Tennessee needs to do that.  Georgia is way ahead of Tn in that department.  11 month contracts are the way to go to get quality coaches to actually come on board.

    you got something that is accurate and up to date?

    Yeah, just google the school system's website and follow links till you find the pay scale for that county.  Rhea doesn't have theirs on their website because nothing is up to date in that area, but your teaching salaries start at $40,000 or more now due to increases by state funding etc....  I do have a good teacher friend that stated you can negotiate your salary when coming to Rhea Co, but who knows...that is just hear say.  But back to the topic at hand....What happen between Rhea and Pemberton???

    That is not even close to updated and accurate.  Not calling you dumb or anything else, sure your a great person...but that link isn't even applicable at all.

  5. Yeah...What is the plan for this football team moving forward?  Why did that coach head out for a dumpster fire?  Crazy times!  Sweetwater seems to have made out ok in this one...time will tell as always.

    I feel you on this but you know most message boards are like this during the hiring of a new coach.  They're going to mention people until someone is hired.  

    What is crazy...these message boards actually effect some hires at times...smh  Never understood that.  But don't forget...Most the time with admins, It's people who don't know football trying to hire football coaches.  It's comical to watch at times.

    Hey Smelly, you do what you think you have to do. lt don't matter to me. 

    Hey Brandon...your Dollar General Credit Card was declined on my OnlyFans.  Try that other one out.  From reading on here SS should be the head coach at Central but it seems the some boo-whosters don't want him...so who is the 2nd choice?  Why do schools constantly give that much power to Boosters???  Boosters...Pay your money & support!  Know your role and shut ya mouth if you smell wat dat rock is cookin... Why can't the admin get it together at CHS and make a decision?  Whoever is the coach there will be successful...It flipping Knox Central, it's like Novocaine...give it time and it will work itself out.  #RememberTheTitans  This will be interesting to follow.  Good Luck Central, they'll get it right eventually, if you can't win at Central...sumin is wrong wid ya!

    Their band used to be fantastic, now there are about 12 kids total in the band.  lol.  I'm not joking.  It's pathetic

    They gotta get that SWAG back!  Rock dat Mf'er out on a Friday night!  Most the Old Heads who hate anything exciting and new can't understand why their hot wife is up and dancing gettin lit at a HS ball game...But they also up & dancin on that snap at night when they go to bed to! lol  In all seriousness...Be fun to watch AE get back to the glory days and GET THAT BAND BACK ROADRUNNERZ! Rich women on clear liquor diets would appreciate that!

    A lot of those boys haven't played before buthad they went on to another school most still wouldn't be playing. They have unbelievable size on the line. Their best defensive player most say could start at either Maryville or Alcoa. Blount County was mostly small schools before they made a mistake and built Heritage and William Blount. Walland was the 1A state champion in 1975 before it went into Heritage and that was when there were only 3 classes. The great thing about this is getting back to our roots and enjoying small time football the way it should be.

    We'll good luck.  I love seeing places actually dedicate time & resources to sports...especially football.  Football drives school culture...I just wish these admins & decision makers would figure that out.  Instead they worry about getting a warm body they feel comfortable with to run their sports teams in most places.  But I see it changing a little at a time.  Good Luck to these guys.

    No I used to think is was SS but if you see my post on AE's board I am now thinking he will go there. I don't think that you all was willing to match what he wanted. So since he was going to get X amount of dollars from KCS without booster help he would rather go to AE where he knows the lay of the land. Id be willing to bet that central and AE will scrimmage or maybe even play a game soon.

    Sounds like Central about to loose some players to AE.  This will be awesome to watch in the future.  East Tn HS ball is better when AE is good.  Can't wait to hear that band strike up again!

    The same person told me they changed. My guess is he didn't get the exact number he wanted from central, but does want to come back to TN for his 30 years for full retirement. So now he goes to where he knows and I'd bet central will be losing a few players to AE. Maybe a scrimmage or game will be scheduled in the tenure.

    So what is the number SS wants for this job vs the number AE is willing to pay for SS?  Could it be that Central don't want to pay for a coach and go the cheap route first and see if that coach wins then pay???  I just don't see Central's booster club being cheap with the guy they want unless there are divided on who the principal wants vs the boosters/stake holders of the school.  If SS is the guy, pay...If not, get your Shish together and make a decision as an admin who you want and go lay in that bed and support him.  But I do OnlyFans for money...what do I know!  They pay me to put the clothes back on!

    Who knows if he will ever see this. Maybe someone will share.  I'm sure there will be disagreement with some of this too.

    Other than the obvious South Pitt/Marion folks, I think Forrest has some of the best people here. We are tough on our coaches and even occasionally players, although we try to limit criticizing kids unless it's constructive or just matter of fact (Johnny fumbled, etc.). As for Coach Palmer, a lot of this he will have heard by now. That's ok. 

    Here goes- 

    Dear Coach, 

    Welcome to the Forrest community. I myself live near Cookeville. There are a bunch of us far and wide. The Rock is a special place. The folks in charge of these decisions felt you were and are the best man to lead this program. There won't be any shade from me on that decision. You're welcome here, and as far as I am concerned, you're a Rocket for the rest of your life, regardless of your tenure. 

    The families in Chapel Hill are some of the best people on Earth. Sure, like families, we bicker and gossip. We aren't perfect. But we defend our own and we love each other. We have each others' backs. And we will have your back. 

    The kids. Where do I start. I'd say learn about the McClendons. That's the epitome of Rocket football. The McClendons and the teammates they played with. Forrest, with a McClendon, beat teams like 5A Page (they were 4A then, in 2016), Tyner. Meigs. Lewis twice, the best Watertown team in the last decade, and more. They also reached 2 quarterfinals in the last 5 seasons. The toughness is second to none. Here's a bit about those boys. 

    Tyler- Class of 2014. Running back, linebacker, D line and state wrestling champ. 

    Zach- Class of 2015. Running back and linebacker. 2015 Mr.Football runner-up. 

    Nick- Class of 2020. Running back and linebacker. 2 time state wrestling champ.  

    Micah- Class of 2023. Running back. Defensive back. 

    Each seemed better than the previous. They were all connected by DNA, and yet each seemed to add to the previous ones stats, accomplishments, toughness, and will.

    Tyler resembled a freight train in motion. Zach was impossible to bring down. Nick threw up a gallon of vomit then went in and scored the winning touchdown against Summertown then had an appendectomy that night. Micah was paralyzed on 9/11/2020 while making a tackle, and his heroic comeback brought the town together, and is perhaps the McClendon family's greatest achievement. They are a special family, and you can't know the Rockets without knowing the McClendons. 

    2 recent former coaches have gone onto impressive careers elsewhere. We don't want you to do that! Coleman went to Summit and won a state title in 5A. Kriesky went to Centennial and now Blackman, and has been to semis. And of course there is Murrey E. Holton. I'll trust you to do your own research on him. 

    This team is driven by kids named Hill, Bell, Cantrell, Fields, Grissom, Patrick. Tincher, Allen, and more. The last 3 middle school teams (next year's freshman, sophomores, and juniors) went undefeated in middle school- 23 straight games, and won 3 straight championships with Coaches Johnson and Russell and their staff.  

    The school has run Wing T since Moses was in short pants. Changing to a west coast style will be challenging, but the kids will work hard. And they will hit. And play defense.  

    There's some stuff out there about your past. Guess what. We all have a past. I think for the most part people will mind their business, and sincerely hope and pray for your success. They will want the kids to win a lot and score a lot and play hard defense and special teams. They will also want their kids to became better young men, from being in your program.  

    I'll try to be optimistic for the most part, while at the same time calling out any head-scratching decisions.  Just like family would. I'm a fan who really watches for feel of the game type stuff. @Salem is the X and O guy and he loses me in about 10 seconds with his knowledge. The last coach did baffling things in every game, didn't connect with the kids, and seemed to spiral with criticism. He did get the team to 2 quarters, but believe it or not, with the division Forrest was in, those were both underachieving years. Now we share the region with Fayetteville, Marion Co., Cascade and Cannon Co. None are pushovers and the first two of those have hardware cases with Gold and Silver. 

    That's it. Nothing fancy. Just, make this your best school yet. We are hungry for it. For all the good things you've done, be even better here. You're in a family, and every family member has their role to play. 

    Sincerely, 

    The General
