Just curious if someone can fill me in on the specifics of this job. What are the kids like, parents, teachers and admin, the community. How are the facilities. What are realistic expectations. In others words, what kind of shape is the overall program in.

They don't have numbers at all even though you'll hear that they have SEC future stallworths in the halls of the school. The first two head coaches in the schools history have been doomed from the start. They do however have a middle school coach who you would think is the second coming of Bill Walsh or Vince Lombardi. He should have been named the coach years ago and if it ain't his show then it must be tainted. The expectations are that they should be playing Alcoa for the Class 3A State Championship in December. They should beat Fairview & Camden. They should beat CPA in the playoffs . They should beat either Milan or Liberty in the semifinals. They should dethrone Alcoa as the beast of 3A.

This is one of the last places in the state I would coach at. LBD couldnt have put it any better. I'd rather coach at any memphis or Nashville inner city school than at east.

I'm pretty sure no one has ever said that East Hickman should be playing for state championships. I did say they should be competing at the top of this district. LBD posts that there are no numbers to speak of but two days earlier he comments on this past years QB reminded him of Johnny football with all the plays and yards he accumulated. Two out of the last three years the MVP of offense in the district has came from East. In 2013 Trey Phillips one of the most talented athletes in the midstate won it and in 2015 QB Jacob Stone. The talent is here and always has been to be a playoff team year in and year out. Now being a playoff team doesn't mean you have to be ranked in the top 10 in the state. Generally being 6-4 or 7-3 will get you in.I've made the comparising of Waverly turning there program around in one year after a coaching change. I think the same thing could happen here with a good coaching staff. Something the Eagles have never had since it opened in 2007.

waverly should show anyone that has doubts of what a coaching staff can do

Ath what's the support like, facilities, players, parents, etc.

As I posted that this could be a really good job for someone. The facilities and the support the parents and community has showed even through some disappointed years should be proof of that.With the school being less than 10 years old all the facilities are nice. A large stadium with plenty of seating on both sides and a full size practice field. A very involved and supported booster club. Always a good crowd at the games.

      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.

      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.
