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!

    • 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"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • 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!
    • 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.
