I've heard nothing but good things about Lane, but I don't know much about him personally. Maybe he is what Clinton needs. A coach with no ties to Clinton?

In my opinion he is the best defensive coordinator in East Tennessee. He won a state championship at west a few years ago as the DC. I have talked to many coaches the past few weeks and its obvious that he is well respected. west had a terrible year, but it was because the offense couldn't score points. defense kept them in almost every game.

Everybody knows I love defense! That is something Clinton has lacked since Cute Andy left.

Knox County Schools has some guidelines in place for head coaches of some sports involving certified and non-certified personnel.

 

As I understand it, there are waviers given in cases where applicants are very close to certification, but those have been few and far between and depended on just how close that certification is from being obtained.

 

Don't think Anderson County Schools has that requirement.

Sometimes it is about more than what some teacher scores on an observation. When a man has somewhat control over 15-20% of your male student population, that goes a heckuva long way. Not sure that Knox County understands that.

Like it or not, in the eyes of KCS, the primary function of a coach should be teacher first and coach second. That also explains the KCS supplemental salary structure for coaches.

You may not realize it, but you just made the point for Knox County's policy.  

 

As osunut said, these guys are teachers, first.  The fact that they have a big influence over some 100 young guys in the school is another reason they need to be IN the school building during the school day, and not just coaching them after school hours.  

 

I don't like a lot of what has happened within the Knox County Schools System - and particularly the policies of the former superintendent - but I have zero problem with head footaball coaches being certified personnel and being in the buildings in which they coach.

And if he is the right guy they can find a "spot" for him in the building until certification is attained. As long as he is working towards certification. It has occurred before.

I do not like that some schools hire non-certified folks to be a head coach.  I know I am in the minority though.

      One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.

      If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.

      Clinton names new OC

      By HTV · Posted

      I'm not a Powell grad.  I am a Bearden grad.   My son and daughter are Powell grads.   I did radio play by play for Powell, my last year was 2013. I also did radio play by play for South Doyle, and my last gig was at Maryville before I retired.   My oldest grandson plays in the Karns Middle program, so I see more Karns games than I do Powell these days.  I've been to 3 Powell games since 2013.   I don't have any ties to Powell, haven't since 2013.   No "y'all" there.    And the kid you are talking about does have a very good arm, but he's not the QB that Deuce Rogers is.  Rogers is a legit dual threat guy.  The younger kid now at Clinton, or about to be at Clinton, isn't the dual threat that Rogers is.
