As most of you may know, Hoover High School's Coach Propst has resigned effective at the end of the playoffs. In light of the circumstances surrounding his departure, Hoover will be searching for a replacement who is an excellent football coach with impeccable moral credentials.

 

Maryville High School is moving up to 5A after one more season and, although we all know they can more than just compete with the 5A schools, there are some unknowns there.

 

Hoover High pays considerably more than Maryville.

 

But, here is the kicker- last May, Dr. Kenneth Jarnagin left the job as principal of Maryville high school. Guess who is now principal of Hoover and a good friend of Maryville coach George Quarles? You guessed it- Dr. Kenneth Jarnagin!

 

Who do you think will get the first call to fill Propst's position?

 

 

so after next year maryville will be in 5a

George Quarles will never leave Maryville for another high school job. He turned down Brentwood Academy. I believe if George leaves Maryville it will be for a college job. I worry about George leaving for Carson Newman when Ken Sparks leaves. George will never go to Alabama because he wants his family at his games. Every week his Mom,Dad,Sister,Brother n Law,Wife and Son are at every Maryville game.

 

Carson Newman and George Quarles would be a good fit but how long will Ken stay a C/N. I don't believe George will leave Maryville why would he, he has it made. Can he and Maryville complete on the 5A level yes, will they win the state every year no but they will win their share. Most of his state teams were the best team in the state anyway. All of the state finals I have watch on the 5A level and that has been a few, Maryville could beat them.

George is an outstanding person and the kind of coach anybody would want our kids to play for. This is one

reason be will win and he works hard at what he does. People knowing this is why they will bring their kids to

play for him, they do not recruit they don't have to because kids come to them. I wish we had more George's in coaching not because of winning but because of the type of person he is and what he does for the kids and what he stands for.I'm not a Maryville fan and have no tie with Maryville but I am a George Quarles fan because of the way he does things. He is in a class by himself and we need more coaches in that class. This from a old coach of 35 years.

$100,000.00 per year has a way of making a high school football coach stand up and lisiten.

 

If that was GQ's only consideration then the BA job offering last year would have done it. I do not see GQ doing it though. Now another Coach up in east Tn is a whole other story. Think about it seriously for a minute. GR already has enough time to retire from the Tn system and start drawing immediately and will still have enough time to earn a BUNCH in Ala and get vested in their retirement system.

 

In plain ENGLISH Alcoa get the checkbook out and be ready to write a BIG check! He WILL apply at least. Will he get it? I honestly don't know, but I agree with the post that his PR skills are not up to it. Great coach, but he has the personality of a fence post. Actually the fence post maybe better as it will listen. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
