That doesn't happen in Knox County Public Schools.  Head football coaches are also teachers, or in the case of Clark Duncan, an administrator (assistant principal/AD).  

 

There are some private schools in the area that have non-faculty/administrative head football coaches, but off the top of my head I can't think of any public schools that doe, or at least at the 3A through 6A level, which I am more familiar with than the 1A and 2A schools.  

The private schools have to go by the same TSSAA rules as the public schools. The rule just applies to "major" sports, "minor" sports don't have the same guidelines.

There are TSSAA "rules" and then there are additional guidelines that the Knox County Schools - the public school system - goes by, and they are different.

I was referring to your second paragraph regarding non-faculty head coaches. Some others had stated that there were private head coaches that weren't faculty or administrators. My thought was not in a major sport. My point was it's not like the private schools can just ignore the TSSAA guidelines and hire whoever they want.

IMO, West is a darn good job, it is good that the current parties split ways now before the program lost a lot of their athletes. Whoever comes in now should have a good amount of athletes to work with. Hope West makes a good hire.

Exactly wasn't the best hire,like you im glad its over so they can get back to being West!

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
