Science Hill Coach?

[barb]

Well, if he's tired of losing to Maryville he better stay in 4A! Maryville will be moving to 5A soon.

MoEast and West are dangerously close to being bumped to 5A as well.

It will be interesting to see how 5A shakes out over the next 4 or 5 years.

Actually, the whole NET sector. Region 1 and 2 will have to be redesigned.

West has beat Maryville twice right, What has your team done?

 

Easy now patty, I was just quoting what the other guy said.

East and West has only 1100(close) each I think. The breakdown for 5A is around 1400 again I think. If these numbers are right east and west is not close to 5A. If anybody knows true numbers what are they.

True that Maryville "MAY" be moving up to 5A. Regardless, it is without a doubt that Johnson City is a hotspot for talent. I remember when Science Hill was highlighted on basketball and football schedules as being a team that would give anybody a good beat down. The last couple of years has been shaky, but if Woods can get the same numbers out at SH as he did at West......it wont matter who is in 5A because the Hilltoppers will be very explosive. Im not posting to cause controversy, just my opinion on who I think the leading candidate for the job is. Im a JCHS alumni, and I would love to see my school as well as other East Tennessee schools do well. I feel very strong toward the coaching staff at JC and believe they have got the program going in the right direction.....it just doesnt happen overnight, so I wish that the Patriot fans would just be patient and show support. I also feel that if SH gets Woods it would be a step in the right direction as well. The only person that I could see being a better candidate for the job than Woods, Turner, or Rankin isnt coming back for a while because he is ranting and raving up and down the sidelines in South Carolina. But it would be exciting to see the "old ball coach" come home. Good Luck East Tennessee Football!!!!

Based on the candidates I have read about Woods, Smith, Jones, Rankin and others, I don’t think any of them would be a bad leader for the Hilltoppers. For sure there are several credible coaches in the running. Either way SHHS goes will help push this program where they need to be. I just hope whoever does come in it isn’t all about the money and the fringe benefits.

Colobro from Gate City is really wanting a head coaching job in TN. I don't think he has made the list of finalist at SH though. Does anyone know if Central or Greeneville has hired a head coach yet? He'd be good for either of those two schools.

[Rangerbook06]

How much is he making in Alcoa? I'd say it would be a big raise.

It better be a HUGE raise to leave one of the best programs in the state, regardless of classifacation, for a team that has to stuggle for a play-off spot every year.

The difference in Science Hill and Alcoa is money. Science has made some unbelievable offers to coaches in the past. A former Knoxville coach was offered $60,000 to coach only 10 years ago. I do know that the Hill Toppers can easily double the pay that Rankin is currently making at Alcoa. Do I think he will leave ---NO. He did say he was wanting his sons to grow up in a smaller school setting. Alcoa is a dream job. He would constantly be pressured by the politics of Johnson City. Something that Rankin doesn't take litely. Rankin stays at Alcoa.

I respect your opinion but do you honestly think he wouldn't come if they "doubled his salary"? I don't know him, you may be correct. I would just find it hard to believe he could pass up an offer like that.

The following info comes from the TSSAA site.TSSAA Classification 2005-2009://http://www.tssaa.org/Handbook/class...ation 2005-2009 This is SHHS's info: SHHS on TSSAA://http://www.tssaa.org/schdir/Schdir_...]]SHHS on TSSAA This is M West's info: MWHS on TSSAA://http://www.tssaa.org/schdir/Schdir_...]]MWHS on TSSAA This is M East's info: MEHS on TSSAA://http://www.tssaa.org/schdir/Schdir_...]]MEHS on TSSAA

 

The school sites show different numbers. The TSSAA numbers are not always current. For example...M West is reported to have 1359 enrollment. And SHHS is reported to have 2100. HTH. MEHS and MWHS are a breath away. At reclassification they will be moved up. Daniel Boone, Cherokee almong others are on the bleeding edge.

Boone and Cherokee will get smashed in 5A
