Mr. Schlafer now works in the Central Office.

 

Coach Estep has taken the running backs and recruiting coordinator job at Carson Newman.

 

You can't blame him for going, its a step up.

 

No head coach this late in the summer!! I understand the coaching pay stinks in Monroe County.

Well, I'm sure there have certainly been a number of applicants for such an illustrious position that carries such incredible exposure. The overwhelming pressure of leading these Bears that rest on the banks of the Tellico River is probably equivalent or beyond that faced by Lovie Smith on the banks of Lake Michigan. I've forgotten, someone fill me in, with which of these "mammal" teams did George Halas play such a tremendous role??? (Sarcasm is always lost via key strokes)

 

But truthfully, I would equate the football coaching position at Tellico Plains High School to the position of a Japanese fighter pilot in the waning days of the Pacific Theater. No, my dear lads, kamikaze isn't simply a shot at Cotton Eyed Joe's.

He wasn't forced, he was asked and he accepted the position.

 

Coach Kelley left the program 4 years ago because of other reasons. He is a hometown boy who takes pride in hometown. The previous coach (Glen Puryear) replaced Coach Kelley, who in turn replaces him.

 

This isn't about a coach though, this about a bunch of kids who have had a rough offseason and they can either use this an excuse to be terrible (all of the changes) or they can play the hand they have been dealt and become better men.

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
