This situation is tied up in an arbitrary hearing. The coach has already had a hearing before the school board to be reinstated for his suspended pay and he won that. Now it goes to an arbitratry hearing for him to get his job back at Hixson as a teacher and coach. Don't know how that will turn out but usually if it goes that far there is a good chance that he will get to return to Hixson. I don't know why his job would be posted if there is a chance that he will be returning. Many people want Coach Eller to return so that he can continue the success that he has built there. I know many of the players want him to return. They really miss him.

Anybody know why there is a coaching opening at Hixson High School? I have been away from the Chattanooga area for a while but isn't that a pretty good job?Just wondering what a few people thought about this.

Where did you coach in Tennessee and where are you currently coaching in Alabama?

I coached for 6 years in Athens, Tennessee at a private school and for 4 years in the Tri-Cities area.

I am currently at a 1A private school in Alabama in Anniston, Alabama. We just got done with a trip to the Final Four. We got put out by St. Jude- Catholic. They won the state tournament for the 3rd time in 5 years. GaMichael Green is their star, McDonalds All-American, and a commitment to Alabama next year.

 

I would be interested in the Hixson job if there is an opening. My wife and I would like to get back to Tennessee.

It sounds like that the job may not be open though if what you say is true.It is a great job though, I keep up with Chattanooga basketball cause I have coaching friends in the area: Soddy-Daisey, Chattanooga Christian, and Temple.

Let's get real about Eller...they were a .500 ballclub with him and when he was transferred they went on a 15 game winning streak. Does that not speak volumns about what went on...and the guy who replaced him on an interim basis was a football coach for gosh sakes...geez-o-pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about a little bit of PLAYING FOR THEIR COACH!!!!!!!!!!!! They were proving a point, the kids were stepping it up for there coach. Now tell me how a football coach who doesnt know anything about basketball can coach them to a win streak????? He stepped in during a situation that he had to help out, not become the next Phil Jackson. PURE LUCK and Eller will be back!!!!!!!!!

Actually they were 9 and 4 with Eller there. Calculated correctly, this is 5 games above .500. Aren't you the same person that said Leroy Higgins would be a great fit at Tyner? That explains why you may have problems doing the math. I don't know what you mean by "does that speak volumns (volumes?) about what went on... Eller coached three teams to district championships while he was at Hixson. Five times they were runner up? What is volumns?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
