Who saw this one coming? I knew Coach Moos from way back. Good coach and great guy.

Doesn't sound like they are committed to football there if they mention the teaching position that is open. Good grief. Don't worry about what the guy teaches until you get your resumes sent to you. Then sort out what you really can't do and work around what guys really interest you. I guess they are just going to take whatever coach they can as long as he can teach math. What a joke. Education is more important than athletics but ...a great football coach can make his team better in all subjects if he is the right leader. They have the kids to be successful there but if they want to stay down that is fine...one less team we have to worry about in the playoffs.

A buddy of mine checked into the position. They are just looking for a math teacher who can coach "a little." Seriously, this is what the lady at the central office said when he inquired about the position. So all of you math teachers who "coach a little football" head on down to Lewisburg and put your name in the hat for the job "coaching a little football" at Forrest High School. Nathan Bedford would be proud to be associated with the program!

Most schools search for the very best at every position. If you need a top notch math teacher don't assume they can coach football. If you need a top notch English teacher, don't presume they will be a good head coach. Likewise, hire the best man or woman for the job in coaching too. If a man has experience, organizational skills, knowledge of the game, hire him!

Exactly....Hey, who knows maybe they can find a guy that can do both well. Ridiculous

[bigredbird]

Marshall County doesn't have the best pay in the world and top notch school districts in TN have problems hiring and keeping MATH teachers with or without a coaching position so why should the people in Lewisburg think they can find a math teacher with head football experience?

[FootballFan1970]

Their best bet is to hire the best football coach and hope he has someone he wants to bring with him that teaches math.

Is this Joe Moos that played at Riverdale and then walked on at MTSU?

@footballfan1970, The principal's hands are tied because the director of schools will not 'make a position' like most districts do to hire a head coach. At this time only coaches with a MATH certification can apply.
