This is why Halls will continue to struggle. I completely agree with promoting an assistant if the program is successful, but when you have a 1-19 record over 2 years you look outside. You bring in fresh blood. Not saying that there aren't some assistants there that can't do it, but the kids need a new perspective & someone that will come in with no preconceived conceptions about what this team can or can't do. The last thing they need is the same ol same ol.

 

I also think there is time for a search, it just needs to be done quickly & have the best possible candidate by the time dead period ends. This will give the coach time to install his stuff during July & fall camp. Anderson County hired Gillum on the same timeline a few years back & he took them to the quarterfinals that very year.

 

For this to be done they will need to open up a teaching spot & it can be done in Knox County, you transfer a teacher to one of several schools to fill the void. There is a total education program & athletics fits into that.

 

I know 2 people that have HC experience & are very interested in this position (Im not one of them) But they are good young coaches (Im not young, lol)with experience. I would love to see them get an opportunity at this position. People at Halls need to move fast & take this search seriously if they want the program to move forward.

 

Good luck!

Couldnt happen to a better bunch of people. After The way I saw there Bball fans act at several games and their AD and principal condoning it, I wish nothing but losses on Halls whole program! The AD and principal should both be on the firing block as far as im concerned. This is great for the rest of the district. At least everyone will get one win, LOL

Why did you attend several Halls Bball games if you dislike Halls so much?

He's talking about what happened after the Halls game at Campbell County this year. Oh, and just in case this clown claims he's an Anderson County fan, don't believe him. We don't claim him and he is bitter at our program. He's a CC fan, as illustrated by the abbreviations on his user name and his reference to the post Campbell County-Halls basketball game ruckus.

With all of the coachng changes in Knox County this year,you have to wonder why anyone would want to coach there. The pay is low, even for football coaches and principal's are not willing to make spots on faculty for coaches when academics or course offerings are at stake. Not a good time to coach in Knox Co.

They ran off a winning guy at West (girls BB), winning coahces at Karns SB and Halls SB. Powell fb quit, sb quit, Baseball quit and the list goes on.

These are the nmes I could think of with HHS ties;

Houston Quarles - current assist coach, no head coaching experience, only coaches defense

Joe Hassell - Central's head coach, was at HHS but left and took the CHS job

Phil Ironside - QB from the 80's, Alcoa head coach, now coaching in Ga.

Greg Vandergriff - Coached with Ironsides in Ga, now coaching somewhere in the Atlanta area, no head coaching experience

Randy CArroll - assist at Webb, head coach at Gibbs, All-state at HHS

Kevin Catlet - assist as Webb, head coach at ?, played on state champ team from HHS

 

No HHS ties;

Any assistant from Alcoa/Maryville staff - cut in pay for sure

Matt Lowe - took Powell to champioship game in '11

 

Take a chance on;

CHAD PENNINGTON - went to HMS, than transferred to Webb, parents taught at HHS, not playing pro ball any more, owns marina north of Maynardvills, chance to move back home, DO YOU THINK HE COULD GET SOME PEOPLE OUT FOR FOOTBALL? CAN I GET A heck YEAH?!!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
