No he will not quit. That's for sure. Some people have suggested that Stanton needs some better assistants around him. This is a tough situation because it's not like it used to be. To get a job teaching in the Oak Ridge School system you have to be certified to teach the subject that has an opening. What makes that more difficult is that once you get a job in OR teaching, you keep it, you don't give it up. So, there are very few openings each year. What's the realistic chances of a good football coach being ceritified to teach one of the very few job openings each year. On top of that, you can only have a couple of volunteer coaches. So, it is a very tough situation to fill a staff with good proven assistants. Times have changed. It used to be at Oak Ridge and other places, if they wanted you to coach football, they would find a spot or even create one for you. It's not like that anymore. The federal and Tn Departments of Ed have tightened up the rules in that area. You now have to be a "highly qualified" teacher If they do make a change, the new coach will be in the same situation as far as filling a staff with quality assistants, unless he has a couple of volunteers to come in with him that are really good coaches.

 

It ain't like it used to be

 

 

With this in mind and if the "powers that be" make the decision to end the SS era, who would be the top five coaches that Oak Ridge could pursue and get to come? /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Any truth to the rumor that a former OR coach may leave Middle Tennessee and make his way back home to take over the program?

 

Have thought this since about the middle of the season, 1st and goal inside the 5 in the rain against BGA and still in the shotgun. Doesn't sound like BL type of football to me. Ever since, I have thought he may be turning it over to the OC.

Some of you guys sound like TN fans...you just want the same people to cycle back through over and over as your coach. Would it not make more sense to find somebody new, rather than someone that's been there and done that? Seems to me like somebody new would bring more of a fire and passion than somebody that's already left there!! Just my opinion.

It's worse than that. The search committee picked Gattis twice and after two selections from his own committee Bailey picked SS on his own. Now you can't find Bailey anywhere around. He is a punk. He and Green will support Stevens until they are losing their jobs and then throw Chuck under the bus.

What about Gaddis, doing a great job out west, and it was my understanding that the last search committee had decided on him and then the next day SS was hired.

 

Thats alot of rumor but heard it from different sources that wouldn't have heard from the same source.

For the umpteenth time, Gaddis will not be returning to OR unless there are major personel changes at the school. His leaving had nothing to do with football. He couldn't behave himself. It doesn't matter how many times the "selection" committee comes up with his name. If there is a change, the name that is mentioned the most is TL from Oneida. Consider it for what it is worth.

Yeah, I guess he could't live up to the standard of behavior that SS has set. He doesn't pull knives on the players, curse out the players, fight with opposing coaches, get his team thrown out of the Nike camps, lack financial integrity and the list goes on. As I have said, the standard of education at ORHS since Bailey arrived has dropped significantly. And there are many facts to back up that statement as well.

What are the chances of TL leaving the big O and coming to OR? This is the first I've heard of that!

      Winds of Change Blowing in Trousdale.

      By Wingback08 · Posted

      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?

      Clinton HC Fired

      By BigCW · Posted

      Just read the article! In one statement he says he didn’t know the player was academically ineligible yet he also says he met with a teacher in 2022 to discuss putting the player in credit recovery.  I find it hard to believe a Head Coach doesn’t know a player is not eligible; are they not responsible for clearing them to the TSSAA?
