You're the one that doesn't know what you're talking about. YES, I do have close ties...does having a kid play for him count? I've witnessed his remarks around younger kids and his attitude. There's a difference in being a high school friend and a peer who is suppose to have mature qualities. So I do know first hand, not hear say. My butt has always been in the stands cheering our team on, which there was nothing wrong with our program at all in the last 3 years. It had progressed and was becoming a strong program. Went from the low 30s to 70 plus players in 3 years. Seals is a good man, a young man that needs to act like a teacher/coach instead of a teenager.

Seals was the reason Smith was encouraged to resign. It was in the works by Johnson to put him in as the head man as Seals was threatening to leave. Seals is still very immature around the boys and the parents really made a scene when they heard he would be the replacement. They have a man on the school board that thinks he owns the school and his boy plays. Smith stuck his neck out and received a lot of criticism for playing the boy. He undoubtedly didn't play him enough! I guess money and position can get you anything!

You're crazy! I teach in Hamblen and have 16 yrs. of experience and I only make $36,500! Pay is terrible in TN and the coaching supplements are extremely low. There's been many coaches to apply at East and refuse it due to the salary.
