 Rodney Ellison resigns as head coach at Powell HS after 3 years. Ellison definitely left Powell in much better shape than when he took it over. I'm sure the players and community will miss him.

So who will Powell hire as their new hc? I think Sean Jessie (Anderson County) deserves a shot at a head coaching job.

I'm sure HTV will weigh in at some point, but it'll be interesting to see who ends up with the job this time around. Much better situation now than before Ellison's tenure.

I don't have many Powell connections these days, but I have heard some interesting rumblings.

Powell will never be able to keep anyone because Knox County doesn't pay crap. I would bet that Shad wound't even apply for that one and everyone knows hp applies for everything to get out of WB.

Barney gets it. Pay will always be a problem for coaches in Knox County.

I find this situation interesting. I think there was shadiness in regards to this. 

Don't agree with anything "shady" going on.   Circumstances change.

He was a great coach and his daughter was a great player at Oak Ridge. Lets break up the Gruesome Twosome at Campbell County and place one at Powell.

Don't see that happening.  They are a team and genuinely enjoy working together.

He seems like a really good guy & I wish him all the best both personally & professionally. I'm not sure what Campbell Co. pays, but Knox Co. has notoriously low pay. I have no way of knowing this, but I can't help but think that they have great job security at Campbell Co., while Powell has gone through coaches quite often. As a former player/graduate of Powell, I'd love for Powell to get someone who will stick around for a long time though.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
