Orentheus Taylor was named the new head football coach at JCM today. Taylor is a graduate of Dyersburg High School and he played college football at UTM and Tennessee State according to an article in The .Jackson Sun.

 

Taylor has coached high school football as an assistant coach for 3 years. Last year he was at Haywood County. He spent the previous two years before that as an assistant at Fayette Ware. Taylor does not have any head coaching experience. According to records from the Coach T website, Taylor's record as an assistant coach was 3 and 27. He did not win a game while at Fayette Ware going 0-20 during his tenure there.

 

Seems like a very underwhelming hire to me.

 

What say you Yanker?

Looks like the guy has only been an assistant for 3 years and just a position coach. I'm wondering if this was already a done deal or if no one applied, because I can't see the logic of hiring a guy with not even coordinator experience to become a head coach with only 3 years of coaching experience..

Stupid on every level --------

 

You don't hire a guy with THREE years experience. They'll be 0-10 (maybe 1-9, they can probably beat Fayette-Ware).

 

Had a good coach ready to go, he was getting his assistants in order, and they administration got wind that he was doing that - and backed out. How can you not allow a guy to call and line up assistants BEFORE taking a job????

 

Eric Jones blew it. I would expect more from a former coach. I guess basketball guys think 1 man can do it by themselves. Its a whole lot different coaching 5 guys vs coaching 22.

The coach you are referring to had already given up his previous position a month ago so that his former team could make the staff moves needed to fill his spot before spring practice, they did this, and now he is looking for a job!!! Edited by slapper

    • 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.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
