You may be correct. I heard yesterday they may be impacted by a key starter transferring out.

Confirmed DA has lost a 2 way starter on the line and the QB is transferring.

Looks like CA got their guy. Don't know a lot about him.

You hire a former APSU assistant football coach that has zero head experience after you loose your former head coach and your former def. coord. who left to take head jobs elsewhere in the county.  Why would a college coach leave for this job unless 1 or 2 things?  1 - experienced in recruiting I would guess, 2 - on the hot seat at APSU.  How many assistant coaches does he have at CA?

Why would an East Tennessee and Halls Red Devil football fan be concerned about the goings on at CA unless he was still mad because they fired Gary Shepherd years earlier?

Seriously, why would a college coach want to be a head coach at a small private school if they were in good graces at the college that formerly employed them?  Recruiting must be a priority at MOST private schools, maybe new coach felt APSU couldn't win.  He had been there, at APSU,  for what 6-7 years, and he had been a part of a 1-45 record over the past few years.  Know of Will Healey and believe he will produce a winner.  Don't know CA's new man, but wonder if he can produce a winner?  Definitely not mad over anybody getting fired, if they needed to be fired or deserved to be fired.  Went to APSU for a year and dated a CA graduate, that was my only reason!

Pretty simple math to me.  JDS was making $45-46,000 at APSU.  He offered a former player more than $50,000 to come be an assistant coach and teach at CA.  Former player turned him down.  Offered $55,000.  Former player thinking more about it now!  Now if JDS is offering assistant's $55,000 +/-, don't you think JDS is getting a substantial pay raise over $45-46,000 from APSU.

 

And on another note.  This is Gary Shephard and I'm not mad about the situation that happened to me 7 years ago at CA.  Truth be known, my wife and family didn't want me leaving Halls HS in the first place.  My Mom took priority, just like my Dad is taking priority for the past 3 years.

 

Should have left CA when Rick first offered me the job at APSU in 2007, when he first had an opening.  That was a dumb #### mistake on my part.  AND STILL NOT MAD ABOUT IT.

 

Advice to JDS - don't make anybody mad on 2nd St. (Yes, I know it's Second St. and I was educated in public schools)
