Surprised anyone would take the job at this point without knowing TSSAA punishment. Grace coaches feel punishment will be vacating wins for using ineligible player. Rumor ( but does come from TSSAA source) is punishment will be the worse ever handed out by TSSAA. So maybe something in between.

 

 

I am surprised, too. I don't know Mercer, but from all I've seen in the Knox News Sentinel and have read on CoachT, he seems like a standup guy. Just thought he would have investigated GCA a little more before accepting a position there. Very corrupt program that hopefully will soon be exposed after the current TSSAA investigation.

After years of bad coaching hires by Jon Mller and company he finally got it right and hired a good coach. Now the current administration screws it up by not making it a priority to get their head coach a teaching position in the building. To difficult to teach one place and coach another. As far as the new guy its a no brainer. Mitchell has the most experience, has head coaching experience, by far the most knowledgeable, and also has a State championship ring. If he want it he is the man. Or will the administration find a way to screw this up and destroy all the great work mercer did in his three years.

I'm not sure Mercer is teaching at Grace, either. It has been communicated that he is to be the Boys Head B-Ball Coach and Campus Pastor. So while they may not have made a teaching position for him, they did create a new position for him. Seems like the athletic department is getting all the money for staff new hires at Grace (i.e. most recently a new Asst AD position this year, a new Athletic Department Admin position this year, and a new Director of Volleyball Operations position that's already been hired for next year). For goodness sake, it's approximately a 225 student high school! I guess the parents there don't have a problem as to where their tuition money is going???

Mitch Mitchell will take the job. I thought at one point he was going to try the admin thing but i heard that he has a week to decide what to do. He is going to take it!

 

 

thanks for playing Dre enjoy your senior season with Lester Wilson. Mitchell is as bad a hire as Lambert and his former staff

Why would Dre leave? him and coach mitchell get along.. if coach mitchell can not get dre at central.. I dont know who could!

STICKS!!

 

 

Its not any coach that got him there it was 100% Linwood. I personally hope that he doesnt leave but why would he stay if Mitchell got the job he didnt have that good of track record at Carter where he had talent everyone that knows the real coach in that family is his wife. He would still be a good assistant if they hire the right guy.

I have heard that Chris Lindsay, former head coach at West High has applied for the job. I think that he would be the best qualified. He is the most experienced of all of the candidates. He always had very competitive teams and ran a first class program at West. I heard that he retired from coaching to get into administration, but when the opportunity came up to be coach and administrator, he was denied that opportunity. I really can't understand how this has happened. I think that who ever hires Coach Lindsay will get a great coach.

      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.

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
