Pretty disappointing if you ask me

Yep I agree completely. Really thought there would be a synopsis of each team and some deeper insight. 

Anyone in the Watertown/ Lascassas area thats wants mine can have it. Just let me know. 

Still no book for me. At least there is hope I guess. 

Yep I was third order placed. Still nothing. Trying to be patient. 

No it's not from scratch. Blackman has one of the best if not the best youth programs in the state. The middle school team is always top 2 in the county. Talent has always been around the program. How long did it take Shad to win? How about Watson? Tygard knew talent was there and that he could attract more. Otherwise he would have never applied for the job. Ive heard nothing but good things about what he is doing but please dont act like he didnt walk into a great situation. When his worst problem is what a restroom looks like, I'm pretty sure he is ok. 

Who did McG play?

Goldenbears although I usually don't agree with you, it is good seeing you post again. 

As for the thread, Hendersonville is always solid to good. You can usually count on six or more wins. 

Blackman has the talent to be pretty good. Second year you would want to see improvement across the board, especially defensively. Haven't seen them yet but have heard it's moving in a positive direction. 

I think the MRA game will tell all there is to know. I also think the CPA game will be a good one. Ravenwood has a good QB but I'm not sold on the team yet. 

Since this is a metro thread I'll bring up how competitive LA was just a little before Dilfer. I remember a war between PC and LA. LA had several good games against EN too. And even before that LA had games against neighboring Overton. 

I saw somewhere that he is starting to ship Monday. 

Here is the thing with EN, there is nowhere on campus to put another field without spending a ton of money which metro isn't going to do. Everyone knows it. It has been this way for many years. Why even bring it up. Bubba, Jim, and Brian all made it work. 

Overton supposedly had plans as well but were shot down.

I truly don’t know but it would not have been an educator.  As an entrepreneur I would search for someone that had several years of experience in sports business.  Another idea would be to see if there was an individual at one of the more successful state high school athletic associations around the country that was interested.  The idea of continuing to hire from within is the definition of insanity. 

I agree with your second option. Not so much the first. Dealing with student athletes and schools is not for everyone. The second option would have been a good idea. Get someone proven to lead high school athletics. Wonder why they didn't try?

Why would the TSSAA get any better with Mark?  Again, nothing changes as you are replacing one former educator with another former educator and expecting them to operate a multi million dollar business with absolutely “ZERO “ business background.  Just look at the Board of Control and they have zero business background.  Typical bureaucratic operation.  

So who would have been your choice?

Thanks for the info Croz. 

Fredjones yes that is the new HC at Glencliff. 

Prayers to the PC family. 

Younger, energetic guy getting his first start as a high school coach. Think Glencliff went a good direction here getting a younger guy that might spark a little excitement into the program. Personally, I think they should try their best to rebrand the program and start fresh. Wilson is a great administrator. Always hear positive comments.  I am sure he will be very supportive of the new coach. Good luck. 

How about we keep this thread about Gordonsville. When is spring practice? 

Hate it for the girls involved. But lets keep this about football. 

I read an article where admin said they are hopeful to find someone to work with the existing staff. Still say they hire from within unless they can make a homerun hire and keep everyone intact. 

Know lots of people at Rockvale. Have heard good and bad. Rice to Rockvale was always a short term deal in my opinion to boost retirement. Admin is very loyal at Rockvale. I am pretty sure they will stay in house. 

Hearing the bears decided not to watch any law and order reruns. Heard it was never even on their program guides for the fall. However, im hearing an announcement will be made soon. 

Also hearing the cliff has their new coach. Should be announced soon. 

Good luck to both new coaches and programs. 

I am sure Stewy wants turf. I am sure LaVergne, Siegel, Riverdale, Eagleville all want it. Smyrna is lucky to have the donor they have or they would not be getting turf. Not sure SC has been around long enough yet to have that kind of alumni. 

Midtn I would love to talk to you about funding. I know you're an Oakland guy so y'all know how to raise funds. Best facilities in the county says a lot. You also seems to know RC in general. If you are up for a bit of a talk so I can pick your mind let me know.
