What's wrong with Halls?

[ZCAR]

I'm hearing the same thing ZCAR.

 

I like Kevin a lot and wish him the best.

 

I do too. It just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

 

It's been the offense that has had me troubled since 2008. But as a head coach you bare the full brunt of criticism. I think a total rethink will now be addressed and hopefully we close the back gate again and keep our athletes home.

The head coach will not leave. The head coach will not be fired. The staff will remain intact. The parents/community will grumble. And the sun will come up tomorrow. Business as usual at Halls.

UPDATE: I have it from a VERY reliable source that OUR coach isn't going anywhere. Let me be the first to say... I'm happy.

What are your alls predictions for tommorrows game?

What are your alls predictions for tommorrows game?

 

I still think this could be a close one. But all the whispers and rumours may be the undoing of Halls on this one. These are the hard luck kids. I'm still a big fan and appreciate all the work ethic from both kids and coaches. For some reason things haven't worked out like they could have. If push came to shove I'd give the Bobcats the edge because of their offense. If fortune was to shine on Halls that would be great. But my pick Bobcats 24 Red Devils 17

 

BtgoG hold on to those thoughts untill after this game and developments begin to reveal themselves. I agree on almost all aspects of your last post but I want to hesitate and defer until early next week before making any comments.

Central also got 2 of halls best assistant coaches, both knowing the offense very well and how to stop it, i think it will be a good game..................for central, Cody Blanc #36 runs all over the Red Devils.

KJ IS EXTREMELY LIKE IN THE COMMUNITY, but he was on the edge of leaving two years ago for the bright lights of West Knoxville. $$$$$ talks!

im guessing the community likes going 0-10? if what your saying is true? theres nothing else to do when u go 4-6,4-6, and 0-10, a change HAS to be made.

From personal experience, I know KJ will welcome the support of anyone willing to do more than chat on a message board.

 

Again, I am very happy to be the one to break the news and stop the rumor that was circulated to me by about a half dozen people.

 

To be clear...

 

Coach Julian will be staying on at Halls.

 

Go Red Devils!

While the FIRST PART OF YOUR STATEMENT IS A FACT, the rest is nothing but conjecture.

 

Personally, I have learned a lesson and that is to get first-hand information rather allow myself to become a part of the rumor mill; even if what I'm hearing comes from people I know and respect. Good people can be flat wrong, myself included.

 

While this Message Board is an unavoidable reality, it is important for folks to realize that there are 10 rumors out there for every fact.

 

I'm glad I have the facts in this case.

I wasn't trolling on the message board. I simply stated that I don't believe the head coach will leave the community (I believe you say as much in your post). I also don't believe he will be fired by the administration of the school nor should he be. I also don't believe that he will fire any of his assistants. Some assistants may move on of their own choice. I also believe there will be many in the community who will be unhappy with this. I guess if I don't post the latest gossip or rumor that the head coach is going to place X and the school is going to hire coach Y then I am trying to troll for a response. Interesting that you think I am trolling when you began the post as "What is wrong with Halls?"

Nows the time for the boys to play with pride.

 

After all, this is the Battle of Black Oak Ridge and a trophy is at stake.

 

The first part of the season saw a lot of blowout losses, but the games have been getting more and more competitive as the season progresses.

 

I have not watched our Freshmen or JV this year.

 

What does our future hold in terms of the talent level coming up?
