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.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
