The school’s cheerleading coach could become the head football coach and I’d say it’s a safe bet that PC would never fall to that level of obscurity. Never say never. I never thought Glencliff would be like this. Whites Creeks, Hunters Lane , Maplewood and Mcgavock have all had very good teams.

Comments like that you should be banned from coacht. Your user name should be changed to whatajerkiam. Those boys are someone's kids and no place on coacht should kids be embarrassed by people like you. Edited October 14, 2023 by fb247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as close to a certainty as it can be. Glencliff has never been good in a historical context. They only had 2 good seasons under Jim Wilson. 2 of the best coaches metro has had coached/ are coaching at Pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously have not lived here long enough to know what the Nations, Germantown and East Nasty were like before the "urban renewal'. Glencliff was a power in the 60's under Herschel Moore, late 80's under Broadbent and a couple years with Wilson. Yall act like Pearl was always great. Pearl Cohn was open for 12 years before they were any good. It didn't happen until they put the "arts Magnet" over there so John Henderson could go to PC while living in the McGavock zone. You had to take something they offered that your zoned school didn't. Don't remember PC wanting Wheeler Henderson to come with him. PC built a tradition that is strong, but nothing is forever. Creek had strong teams for 25 years with terrible facilities. Now they are a 2A school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a massacre. This may be the best Pearl team since their 1997 team. They’ve taken on all comers. I would love to see a hypothetical matchup between Pearl-Cohn and Oakland this year. I know most years Oakland would probably beat them convincingly but this year I think it would be a great battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived in Middle Tennessee all my life, and I agree that the demographic could change quickly but so far it hasn't. I hope it does change Pearl has had a pretty good run over the last 30 years, could they slide into mediocrity? Sure, but aside from a few bad years, they didn't miss much of a beat transitioning from Fitz to Brunetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never underestimate metro schools decisions to impact a program You are absolutely correct that MNPS could basically screw up a one car funeral! When Tony leaves PC they will have a difficult time replacing him. One of the major issues with Glencliff is that there are 48+ various languages other than English that are spoken in the home of Glencliff students. The student body is typically made of up first generation immigrants that did now grow up participating in athletics. Most of the Glencliff student body goes to work immediately after school as work and making money to help ones family is a valued asset. Yes, with a great principal that wanted to win in football Glencliff could hire a great coaching staff that would theoretically go out and recruit enough talent (yes, I said it and it’s the truth) to become competitive.

MNPS tend to hire from within! How long has it been since MNPS actually did anything past posting job openings on a website to hire coaches? Great coaches are difficult to both find and hire. When you fail to actively recruit those great coaches the chances are very slim that one of them will phone MNPS and inquire about a job.
