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.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
