Any names mentioned, this thing is getting late in the year. Who will run spring practice? Lots of questions, few answers.

 

I may be mistaken, but Hubert Lester will be leading them through spring practice. I believe that they are still searching for or deciding on who will take the job. Like I said before, they are in a unique position. They do not have the luxury of using middle school positions to help load up on coaches. They only have the Highschool to work with. When a coach retires from coaching and not teaching, it ties up a coaching slot and they are not able to hire for that position until they retire from teaching.

I have heard that James Akers was or will be hired as the next head coach for the Dragons. Like you said someone will have to retire for a teaching position to open up and I heard that Coach Walter Tipton will step down after a long and loyal tenure as a coach and P. E. teacher for over 30 yrs at York Institute.

No one in administration has approached James Akers. I have heard the same about Walter Tipton. I always enjoyed him. Things should start to shake out in the 3 or 4 weeks.

You wouldn't call a man out would ya? /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

 

I'll tell you this. If those kids have the same attitude and work ethic that they had when they were in 8th grade, somebody is going to get a loaded gun! I am interested in those kids getting a staff that will have the kids best interest in mind. I don't care who it is. If I am lucky enough to have this team and some help, I would take them in a heartbeat. They are about as athletic of a group of kids that have been through here, they have an abundance of football sense, and have great attitudes. It was a pleasure working with them when they were younger.

Just going on what I was told by someone in the know about York Athletics. I was wondering if the administration has conducted any interviews b/c I seen where the job was posted on the TSSAA website? Is there any other applicants being considered. B/c my source doesn't really know anything about that process? And yes coach Tipton has been a key figure in the lives of thousands of Fentress county students and athletes. I wish him the best.

I have heard of a couple that have applied. I think it will be reposted because of the new opening, if the scenario of Walter retiring happens.

Not my intentions to call you out, I was just wondering if you were interested in the job. Had someone ask me if you were taking the job. I have also been told DB from Clay Co. might be interested if the P.E. job opened. Options86, I honestly thought you would probably be a good choice for the job. Hope we get someone hired soon so that any "transition-period" struggles can be kept to a minimum. As I usually end my posts: GO YORK!!!!!!!!!

I haven't heard that DB was interested, but that was before any P.E. jobs opened up. I agree with the "transition period", but I think that they are trying to get into position where whoever gets the job can have some help. If the kids truly love football, they should be preparing for next season regardless of who the coach will be. So when the coach comes in, they can spend most of the time learning the new playbook and not trying to get back into shape. There is a great base of players here, I hope they get the chance to showcase it.

    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
