From Pulaski Citizen

 

Breaking News: GCHS head football coach David O'Connor is reconsidering his move to Lincoln County after the Fayetteville City School Board voted last night to add a high school to its system. See tonight's edition of the Pulaski Citizen for more details. Says 95% sure staying at GCHS...

 

Wow! I read the article on there website. This does not sound good for the future of the Falcons, in more ways the one.

From an outsider looking in... It may be rough sailing for Lincoln County athletics once the new city high school becomes a reality. In the short run it will be rough, in the long run, both schools can be good IF the TSSAA gets LC into a smaller classification but until that happens, a lot of the talent will go to the new city high school. Of course, it takes time to develop a new program. I have heard a rumor that the former Marshall County head coach may be the new head coach at the City high school. I guess it is way too early to know at this point. Good luck to both schools, this should be interesting.

Wow. The Fayetteville City school board thinks it's a good idea to create a city high school...in the middle of a depressed economy...and will offer open enrollment...so county kids that go to the city school will be ostracized by other county kids...county kids will be ostracized by city kids...city taxes will go up to support the redundant costs associated with extra teachers and school administrators....

 

I don't blame O'Connor for seriously reconsidering the move - things will be chaotic for several years - only an idiot would walk into a situation like that. All Lincoln County sports will suffer, along with Lincoln County academics as the coaches and teachers jockey back and forth.

 

Hopefully the voters in the city will recognize the arrogance of the Fayetteville city school board members and vote every single one of them out of office in the next election.

 

Stupid is as stupid does...stupid arrogance is immeasurably worse. :(

I agree with you 100% jabbo unfortunately the city of Fayetteville has always marched to their own drummer and do what they want and worry about the consequences later.

 

We will have to watch and see how this plays out, but I believe from what I've read and heard O'Connor is staying at Giles.

Very well said Jabbo. I'm so disappointed with the city system. I think we have such a unique situation in this county that everyone has the opportunity to go to school with everyone else, make new friendships and contacts that will last a lifetime. Just as you said, I think this will only cause friction in the community. Instead of an entire community rallying around one school, fans money and support will all be divided.

Now doesn't all this throw quite a spotlight on the opening game LC vs GC next year :popcorneater:

 

This game probably won't happen now.

 

Its official. :huh: The search for a new coach has begun. :thumb: There were 55 applicants. Now there is 54. They had narrowed it down to top 10. Now there is a top 9.

 

Good luck on your search. :popcorneater:

 

GO FALCONS!!!!!

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      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.

      school closing in Shelby county

      By rlh · Posted

      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.
