McGavock Football ....Job Opening

If 'METRO' Head Coaching jobs are so good then why are there NO Head Coaches or assistants from the surrounding counties applying?

 

Old dad lost, question yes is a good one. Apply many have. Mistakes made in times not so long ago in the practices of hiring, caution and certainty have been produced. Wanted not are the mistakes of the past. Rushing those in that ready are not.

 

May the fork be with you.

I assume you are saying that Broome wasn't ready?

[TheFork]

Darth Spoon, ready not he was. Alone he was not during the period of hectic hiring. Catching up, time is , on errors of past.

From long and steady viewing of the Nashville high school, a few observations are readily apparent:

1. Coaches are not hired for their knowledge of the sport. This has been especially true since individual principals became the deciding factor. Far too many principals have far too little knowledge of athletics. How many principals are really concerned with a winning program? Success starts at the top of any organization.

2. Coaches in Nashville are limited in choosing qualified assistants. Good assistants are few and far between in Nashville. They are also limited in the number of assistants.

3. Money is a primary factor in good programs. Money for weight rooms, money for enough good equipment, money for athletic fields, money for the little things that comprise a program.

4. For sure, the good old days are gone. And while there may be occasional exceptions (Pearl-Cohn and Hillsboro), state championships will be rarer and rarer.

5. And one last observation on a different topic. It seems that we're a low grade restaurant when the key contributors are a fork and a spoon. The former seems to belong to a galaxy far, far away and the latter lives to stir things up! All we need is a knife to cut things off!

Wise it is not to underestimate the power of the fork.

So who are the few good assistants oh wise one? I humbly bow to your veteranness.

I’ve been an observer of Nashville football for several years. I have some notion about how the high school game is played here. I was fortunate to grow up in a small Georgia town, played high school ball and also played at the next level. I coached a little college ball, but the pay was poor and I had a family, so I left for jobs that took me to California and Texas. But the point is, I know enough to watch a game intelligently and I can tell which teams are well coached and which are not. And well coached teams are a tribute to the head coach AND his staff. Head coaches are only as effective as the men they surround themselves with. I know which teams are fundamentally sound and which are not. I know which teams are coached well and which survive because their talent pool is so deep. It’s not hard to tell which teams play disciplined ball. Maplewood played great defense, Overton was technically sound but rode one horse to death, Antioch is usually sound but material was lapparently lacking last year, Hunters Lane looked like a team in search of an offense but they’re usually sound. So those schools must have qualified assistants. Who has the best public school staff?

One last observation: The large private schools seem to be almost collegiately prepared. How do they get great assistants?? Which private school has the best staff?

Interviews are Tuesday. Most metro schools starting spring workouts Monday May 3rd. Will McGavock have a coach by then?

Not looking good for spring practice at McG rtb

If HC interviews are today, then half of the PE and Special Ed. classes will have substitutes...pretty shallow pool to pick from.

There are many coaches that are not physical education teachers. Plenty of coaches have degrees in math, the sciences, english, history, and even such things as music, business, and criminal justice.

In Metro, Criminal Justice would be a plus!
