Coach Ward's name has been in the rumor mill for a long time to go to Milan when Coach Morris hangs it up...whoever takes the job will be looking at at least 3 years of loaded talent...word is Nick Saban and Urban Meyer have inquired....not....seriously...what about South Gib's Stidham?... as a Milan fan....I'd take Alcoa's Coach Rankin.....again...not gonna happen...

Wow, Since Saban and Meyer have inquired Gruden  is also wanting to get back into coaching

Haven't had a chance to comment on this but here's my thought. Coach Mirris you will be missed. You have made such a difference in the lives of young people in Milan. Thanks for all you've done.

I agree that Smith would've been great, and maybe later in his career he will "come home"...McConnell has probably opened himself up for schools to "come after" him with offers by putting his applicat

Well here recently SGC has been losing kids to Milan....... I will NEVER (so dont even ask) open that can of worms but we have had a couple of (athletic) kids move in to the district just because of sports......

Several things are working against Milan right now and several things are working for them.... How things play out over the next several years is going to be really really interesting. 

Milan is proud town and has every right to be. I really hope that Morris got leave on his terms.... I as a SGC guy is glad that he is gone but I recognize great when I see it.... Probably why I have been successful in my career choice. Morris made more with less year in and year out.... 

I hope the are calling the pressbox, the bleachers, the parking lot, or something in his honor....

I guess that's what I'm wondering. Have players moved to or went to Milan as freshmen without actually moving to Milan because of Coach Morris? Now that hes gone,is the Milan name enough to keep kids coming and not go to the newer school?South Gibson already seems to be doing well and growing.Could be like Dyer Co eventually with more students each year,

In regard to this, I think Milan will always be a solid prestigious program is West TN, very longstanding.  But I do think the landscape of West Tn football has changed a lot in the last 5 to 7 years.  It used to be Milan, Huntington and everybody else.  Recent resurgence in programs like Dresden, Union City, Trenton, Adamsville, Haywood, SGC, Crockett, etc has created a lot of parody and because of this the days of longstanding dominance for anyone is unlikely. A lot of these programs neighbor Milan too.  As long as interest holds out with these schools returning to past year in year out dominance may be less likely.  Like I said no disrespect to Milan, great program and they'll be good again no doubt

I believe there will be an abundance of applicants for this job. An amazing amount of talent coming up and wonderful community support make this a very good situation. Also the coaching supplement is great. But I would like to see someone get this job that will make 2 things a priority (along with winning of course). I want someone who will open up the offense a little more. For years now I could watch a Milan game and tell you what play they were about to run. Very predictable. Also I would like to see someone get hired that will strive for some improvements to Johnnie Hale. Great field house. Great weight room and workout facility. But stadium is beyond old. Yes it is adequate but we aren't keeping up with the Jones'. 

best of luck with that BPM.....knowin he will be missed....hard to replace that.....always been impressed with Morris....Booger thinkin thats not the season he probably wanted to leave on....has to b one of his worse seasons in his many many years there

Booger just sayin :thumb:

Since south gibson  has been open have lost a hand full of players to them. But we are talking less than one per year and that is a stretch. There is very little grey area between those two teams. You don't live and Milan and think about possibly playing football in Medina. And vice versa. 

 

There me will be no shortage of applicants for this job. There was one coach between Tucker and Morris. That was Bland and in his one full season they went 10-4 and played in the semis. Milan will be just fine.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By thegreatwhite1 · Posted

      No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin

      It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
