I'm not a East Ridge fan but was curious if they filled the spot? I'm guessing he left for more money like every other coach in Tennessee. Really seems like the Pioneers had some good things happening down there. I was suprised by the vacancy.

East Ridge has some solid alumni and fans who come out every game. Tim held things together for years following in his father's footsteps and did a good job. Like any coach, I think he ran his course at ER and is now doing what is best for his family.

 

Coaching football in Chattanooga is always a challenge. Their is support at ERHS for football and Tim always got the most out of his talent. Whoever gets the job will have to learn to work within the Hamilton County School System and work the community for what they can give to the program. It will not be an easy X's and O's position. I worked with Tim one year and saw what he had to do to keep that program going. It is not an easy gig! They need a new school really bad but there is no room to build! The field is in good shape but they need a new field house really bad!

Have you seen the brand new Signal Mountain UNIVERSITY?

 

Hamilton County can't spend money to fix up older schools like East Ridge, Central or Hixson when they spend millions on their SIGNATURE new schools.
