Tracy Malone- Sparta, TN 3. Jason Fitzgerald- Dayton, TN 4. Scotty Herrell- Clinton, TN I dont know much about any of them other than...Price, Herrell, Brackett, Reeves, and Wells. I am a big fan of Scotty Herrell and the kids love him, but i would like to see some fresh new ideas....im not sure Herrell would bring that. I think we need a new offense and we need alot of work on our defense. Someone new might just bring in the intensity this team needs.

Tracy Malone is the current head coach at White Co and was an asst. at Riverdale under Ranklin Jason Fitzgerald is head coach at Rhea Co. Was Hammontree the HC at Maryville in 92'? We beat Maryville that year 46-14....its funny how things change. How about 98' when Maryville won a state championship?

thekidd0086 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I just can't believe that they are waiting till May to name a HC. I know that this decision is a big one but we must remember how big spring practice is for high school football. Who do you think is the frontrunner? Who has the best record?

92Dragon Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) they would be stupid not to hire Hammontree. great record, great experience, great motivator. he would get this program going and take pride in being a dragon. just my opinion. Hammontree was the asst. head coach and defensive coordinator at East Paulding HS in Dallas, GA. Their team finished 11-3 last season averaging 30 pts per game and giving up only 12.

chickenhawk Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I just can't believe that they are waiting till May to name a HC. I know that this decision is a big one but we must remember how big spring practice is for high school football. Who do you think is the frontrunner? Who has the best record? Yeah look what happened at Auburn in 2009 when they hired a guy with a 5-19 record as a head coach. Silly Rabbits Everyone on the Auburn hiring committee had masters degrees in perspective. All joking aside, I do wonder who will interview. Let's play conspiracy... You wait a month to start interviews, hiring done by the 2nd according to paper, and spring training starts the 3rd. Does that mean the hiring process is just a hoax and they plan on hiring from within? Who else could take over a program in 24 hours?

It wouldnt surprise me at all if Josh Kerr or Scotty Herrell end up being named head coach. Josh Kerr is the interim coach for the time being.
