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.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
