Time to either notice Karns or take Oak Ridge off the top 30. I'm thinking Oak Ridge deserves to be there, so...

 

The Karns coach is new this year. Coach Mike McClean is the Impact U19 coach who has taken the team to consecutive state championships and Championship of the Premier League. No fair hiring a real soccer coach, Karns!

 

Is it time for all other schools to follow that lead?

 

Congratulations, Karns. Mike is a great coach who actually likes his players.

I think schools would do more of that, but the TSSAA is so particular about club coaches coaching highschool, that it makes it near impossible. For example, Mike can't have any players from Karns on his club team, or he can't coach at that school. It gets to be a pretty complicated process.

 

I know Mike (from my Tusculum days) and he is a great guy and a great coach. David Pifer was on his Impact team.

That's correct but not quite what I am thinking. A few years back it would have been difficult to fill a teaching position with someone who was qualified to coach a HS soccer team. Now there are a ton of soccer players and potential coaches with teaching certificates. maybe not with the credentials of Coach Pifer or Coach G or Coach McClean, but certainly better than the Varsity football coach's nephew who had never seen a soccer ball in person before. (True, but don't get me started)

 

I think it's time for School admins to give the students who play soccer the same consideration they give football players.

 

The offseason noncontact rules are inane at best and probably illegal. I understand the potential for abuse but it's not much greater than the actual abuse of the off season conditioning rules in football.

While this is off topic (and might make a good seperate thread) I know that some schools will not hire a soccer coach that does not have a teaching certificate (which is NOT required by the TSSAA in soccer). I know that Lenoir City has had a problem filling coach Martin's shoes as "head" coach, because of this.

 

Gotta love the TSSAA's off season rules... We won the 50% ruling with the TSSAA, but the "NO OPEN FACILITIES IN THE FALL" is down right stupid. I guess we had to choose our battle. Like you said, Steve, don't get me started.

 

Also, on a side note, it might be nice for schools to throw the kind of salaries to soccer coaches that they throw at the other big sports. Why do you think a lot of the good coaches go to club?

I think they coach club, because they love coaching, and they get to work with the players they choose for 8-9 months a year whereas is HS, their team comes from a limited pool, they have some silly rules dictated to them, and unless their team is elite (top 8 in their division), only get to work with their players for about 3 months.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
