What does GS teach?

Nothing.

He likes to brag on Facebook about how not being a teacher makes him better than "yes men" teachers who wouldn't stand with him in his crusade to run the school system and get them to magically print money.

Seriously, he made tens of millions of dollars in his NFL career.  He's set for life.  All he does now is coach, fish, and cause a lot of drama via his thousands of followers on social media.

First of all, he is a non-tenured teacher and that is all they can rule on, for hiring and firing. The Super has all the power in this. Second, it will take more than 24 hours to make announcements for the meeting or it is a violation of the sunshine law. 5 business days is the least they could hold a public meeting. 

This is just another tactic to scare the kids into not playing football! Ridiculous!

That makes sense, but it wouldn't be the first time the board has overruled her on hiring and firing issues due to public outcry.

I thought per TSSAA rules a HC had to be an educator or in Admin?

If you ran like your mouth you'd be in good shape.

 Article I, Section 9 (Coaches) – p. 11
This change removes the requirement that classified employees and non-faculty coaches must have five (5) or more years of experience and meet all educational requirements before serving as a head coach in football, baseball, softball, basketball, and track and field. They still must be submitted to the state office properly and complete the NFHS Coaches Education courses prior to coaching. 

COACHES

Section 9. All coaches must be registered with TSSAA annually and will fall under one of the following categories:
1. Full-time certified teacher (a minimum of 100 school days) of a board of education with a Tennessee teaching license or the equivalent.
2. Retired educator (five or more years' experience) with a valid Tennessee state teaching license or the equivalent.
3. Non-faculty coach – Anyone approved by the principal, superintendent, and/or local board of education in the normal course of employment procedures in accordance with applicable state law.
4. Classified Employee – Any individual employed by a member school or school system in a position that does not require a teaching license or the equivalent. A Classified Employee must be employed 30 hours or more per week in a non-coaching position and may not be an independent contractor or an employee of an independent contractor.

Last night on WCYB live GS was all smiles and said he "had the vote" of the school board to be reinstated, and all they were waiting on was for the board chairman to call a meeting so the vote could be held.  The reporter asked when he expected that to happen, and he said he wasn't sure, but maybe in a few hours, or in the morning.  This morning the board chair says he knows nothing about any meeting being called and that they're waiting on the outcome of the investigation.

And I'm still laughing about this quote from his FB page in the article blazer1 linked above:

Quote

Somebody better start agreeing to this positive change I'm trying to bring to this community or this recording will be all over the place,” he continued, mentioning a recording he made of the meeting. “These kids deserve better!!!!!!”

That's some hilarious blackmail right there!  If somebody doesn't agree to do what I say to do for these kids I'm gonna hurt somebody! Lol.

Tennessee has a Sunshine law, which means for public meetings you have to give 5 business days before you can do anything.  The next Board Meeting was already on the 19th, so it will be brought up in a week.  Everyone started saying oh this will take  30 min etc etc etc.   Not true.  They can't do it.  I'm surprised the board can vote on anything that is still a pending investigation from a 3rd party attorney.  GS even agreed to that.

Anyways as for the "Positive Changes" I have seen GS mention, I think the people supporting him on the changes he wants should be informed.  The school board will absolutely love to be given more money to be spread around the county.  They aren't in charge of getting more money, that is up to the county commission.  If they want a new Jonesborough Elementary, no prisoners free labor, brand new state of the art facilities, classrooms and schools that are equal to Johnson City, then everyone should just go ahead and say yes they want their taxes raised.  That's the only way that this will happen.  What will surprise people even more is that about 43% of the taxes increased that are allocated specifically for education will go to Johnson City, giving them even more money.  Sullivan County is the same way, so are all the counties that aren't a metro county.  The upgrades that he wants can't even be answered by the WCBoE, so he might as well be yelling into the sky because the county commission is the one that can vote for more funds more taxes.... but apparently a lot of people don't know how a school system operates.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
