Dont they have 9.9? 

I have never had anyone that would really know definitely say yes they have 9.9 scholarships for wrestling.  Everyone always says that's what they have been told.  Again I find it hard to believe that someone with direct knowledge has not stepped up and said yes they have 9.9 or no they do not have 9.9.  If they don't have 9.9 scholarships available what is the number?

What do you guys think about trying to bring back hometown Chattanooga native and current assistant at Pittsburgh.....Jordan Leen?

 

 

I think if he applied they'd be stupid not to hire him. He brings notability, credentials, recruiting capabilities as well as being the hometown boy. I think he's the perfect candidate for the job personally.

Let’s see. They fired his dad who used to coach there so you have that going against you to start. They probably pay him more at Pittsburgh as an assistant than UTC would pay as a head coach.

The last thing UTC needs is another Chattanooga home boy.  Prime example here.  No one wants to say the obvious about Eslingers performance because they are worried about the potential backlash and blacklisting for their own kids and programs. 

Did anyone ever figure out how many scholarships they have?

I have been asking how many scholarships they have for two (2) years and have never received an answer.  It tells me the program is not fully funded and no one with direct knowledge wants to discuss the issue.  Why else would you not want to answer the question?

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
