Recommended Posts

Pemberton is gone, tired about reading how everyone wants to bring up scheduling issues! Who are all of the players, who is the front runner? Who can come to Macon County and build a program? Who wants to come here and be a fabric of our community? Who can build it so every one wants to be a part of it?

are they close to making a hire in macon co or what?

 

EDIT: Confirmed hiring of Head Coach Randall Smith from Pebblebrook High School in Cobb County, GA.

 

http://www.maconcountytimes.com/pages/full_story/push?article-Randall+Smith+named+new+Tigers+head+coach%20&id=18086804

 

Randall Smith was officially accepted as the head coach of Macon County High School’s football program on Mon., Apr. 2.

 

 

 

Smith says he’s excited about the opportunity to come home to Tennessee.

 

 

 

“I’m from Cookeville. I’ve been coaching and teaching in Georgia for 18 years,†he said.

 

 

 

Smith graduated from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville with a degree in Health and Fitness Education in 1992. He received his Master’s degree in 1994 and received his Ed.S. degree in 2005.

 

 

 

He began his coaching career at East Coweta High School in Sharpsburg, Ga.

 

 

 

Later, he took a position at Troup High School in LaGrange, Ga., where he served as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator for the football team as well as serving in the capacity of assistant athletic director.

 

 

 

Most recently, Smith was head coach for Pebblebrook High School in Cobb County, Ga.

 

 

 

“Now I have the opportunity to come home to coach in Macon County.

 

 

 

“After 18 years away from Tennessee, we’ve been looking to come home. We want to be near our families as they enter their golden years, and, when we saw Macon County was open, we were excited.

 

 

 

“We love the small-town atmosphere. We’re really excited to get the opportunity. We’re excited to be back and to be part of the Tiger family.â€

 

 

 

Smith also brings his wife Donna with him to Macon County. They have a daughter, Brandy, who lives in Cookeville, and two sons, Jacob and Jarod.

 

 

 

Jacob will be joining the coaching staff at Macon County High School.

 

 

 

The football team will begin spring practice on April 30.

 

 

 

“We’re just going to change the philosophy that we have here. We’re going to change our defense and some offensive philosophy, and we’re going to get back into a strict discipline program on the field.

 

 

 

“We’re just going to try to extend from the success that Macon has had and build from there.â€

 

 

 

Smith replaces Mark Pemberton, who resigned last month after coaching the Tigers for two seasons.

 

 

 

He will be instructing the school’s weight training program.

    • Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.
    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
