Elizabethton Football


Recommended Posts

I agree with the above post. None of the current assistants can be a head coach most of them cannot even be an assistant coach. If they hire one of them then they are just spinning their wheels.

About Payne, he did a great job with baseball and to bad he left. It just makes it look bad because he leaves when he just lost 12 players to graduation.

The coach and being an AD who knows. Each side tells their own story sooooo.

Basketball should be given to Dugger but that will not happen. I know nothing about Street.

Baseball I have no clue who will coach.

If you knew Payne you would know that he didn't leave because of losing 10 seniors. Nor did he leave because of the AD job being taken from him. I'll not elaborate beyond that.

 

Payne is a class man and I am glad to see him better himself. Sad for Elizabethton to lose a leader and a winner. Maybe some of the coaches left learned a thing or two........ but I doubt it. It is a trully sad time for Elizabethton and the recovery time will be HUGE.

 

Just sad.......

 

 

To 'winchampionships',

If you trust your school board, then trust them to rid the system of the 'cancer' they have grown. Maybe Shawn will come but if I were him, I run away as fast as my feet would take me. There will be no 'complete overhaul'. Not in Elizabethton. The 'Cancer's' boys will stay intact and the failures will continue to mount, not only in athletics, but across the board. The really bad thing is, don't think for a minute that the kids are not affected by all of this 'total confusion' from the schools 'Cancer and his Court'. What a shame!

Elizabethton City Schools is in a total mess thanks to the longest running interm supt. in the state and the puppet school board.I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FROM THE ELIZABETHON STAR (FRONT PAGE AND EDITORIALS BASHING THESE DECISIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHILDREN? The sport's section has reported the truth but where is the outrage from the citizens?Is this petty bickering going to continue until it destroys all of the programs and everyone associated with it?Why or when is this puppet school bd. going to hire a director? answer,it has!!! It was rumored there was not one single applicant for the principals position at EHS including coach Pless,what does this say?THE KIDS ARE THE ONE THAT IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS FOR YEARS TO COME.THESE CONSTANT CHANGES RUNS THROUGH THE CLASSROOMS AS WELL BUT THIS DON'T MATTER AS LONG AS THE INTERM ( PERMANENT)DIRECTOR IS HAPPY. WE ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bottom line is as AD, you have the responsibility of all sports programs. Football and then boys basketball is the big money makers for atheletic programs. Any one can look at the elizabethton situation and see they had a heck of a baseball coach but the big sports were not being successful. As an outsider I see nothing wrong with telling an AD you either need to focus on our sports programs or you need to coach. Both were not being done effectively.

QUOTE(ULfan @ Jun 14 2007 - 06:46 PM) 826475157[/snapback]I think coaching changes needed to be made. Elizabethton is doing what they need to do to get their atheletic programs turned around.

 

 

Do you think the AD makes decisions at EHS regarding coaching positions? Get real! The decision are made on "the hill" Coach Payne had nothing to do with the demise of the other programs. The assistant coaches that's been hired over the years to replace people like Hastings,Mckinney,Hyder,Perkins Hyder and even Coach Jenkins who was an assistant for many years just don't compare to this groups ability and experience!

Do you honestly think that the AD has any control over how the football team or the basketball team is disciplined (the reason why both teams stunk)?

    • 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.
