From what I heard today, there is a long list of Coaches that WB are interested in. And so far the answers have been no.

No one in their right mind would want in that mess.

With the newly approved increase to the sales tax, there appears to be some new $$ available. Maybe the BCBOE is ready to spend some $$ to make al the necessary changes that are needed to improve the football program in LA. Why not? Other school systems are spending hundreds of thousands for fake grass and jumbotrons. What's a few tens of thousands for additional football coaches?

 

As stated during coaching changes past, one guy is not going to make the difference. The one guy will need some help from many directions. Some assistant coaching help, administrative help, booster help, player help, recruiting help, etc. He will definitely need support as he cuts ties to the parents who yell from the stands and follow the coaches to the dressing room. He will need support from the coaches and administration as he cuts ties to the players who backtalk, throw helmets, lay out of practice, skip workouts, etc. He will need support from the boosters and administration as he implements his ideas of creating excitement on the football field. He will need support/patience of everyone as the season records may get worse for a year or two instead of better as the roster may dwindle to 25-35. But at least those 25-35 families can be counted on as a solid foundation to build a program.

 

IMO-one guy can't do it all and it would be another wasted effort to simply replace one guy and expect everything to be solved. It has not all been the HC's fault in LA. There has been plenty of blame to spread around.

StrongX,

 

The necessary steps you have listed above ... do you believe this is already underway at Heritage under Hammontree's leadership?  Just curious.

The culture of the student body in Blount county doesn't value academic or athletic success; it values riding around in a truck drinking beer and smoking pot.

 

I'm moving to blount county

Sdot gets the quote of the day! I bet real estate prices went up immediately.
