the outlook is very serious now ..... please stop and pray even if you don't know Coach Mac... here is the article from the tennessean......

Lipscomb Academy football coach Glenn McCadams has returned to the hospital following recent surgery and is in “serious condition,†according to longtime friend and fellow faculty member Mark Pugh.

“He was hospitalized a couple of weeks ago and underwent successful surgery,†Pugh said Wednesday, referring to a procedure on March 7 to remove a series of tumors. “He went home and things had been looking pretty positive, but they made a turn for the worse.

“He returned to the hospital early Tuesday morning.â€

Pugh was unsure whether McCadams’ condition is related to his previous surgery. He declined to disclose where McCadams is hospitalized, out of respect for the family’s privacy.

McCadams has stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma.

McCadams, 66, has coached at Lipscomb for the past 31 years, leading the program to state championships in 1994, 2002 and 2007 and runner-up finishes in 1998, 2003, 2005 and 2006. Over his 37-year head coaching career, he has won 315 games, making him one of the state’s winningest active coaches.

Prayers for Coach Mc's family from moore county and lynchburg. I learned many lessons from him in defeat. He was classy and was an exceptional example for everyone around. His teams were always prepared and always played with determination. It will be a hole not easily filled by the Lipscomb family

Coach Mac, may you rest in peace. Thanks for all you have done for the young men in your programs. I have, and always will give thanks for getting to know and respect you. You have touched many lives, and I for one know that respect. Our thoughts and prayers from the football staff and team at Hickman County High School to all of yours and the Lipscomb family.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
