Feel free to add to the post. Things out of line won't be permitted. If you think it may be overboard, it is. Thanks. 

 

I think this has been discussed enough. The topic now should be is this guy an interim coach or is he permanent(until fired). I would also like to know what they are paying him. Fair enough?

Being a great player and spending time in the NFL means very little to being a good coach. There are too many examples to list of NFL players that have been a bust when it comes to coaching. Ask Crockett County about it. I wish the coach well but he's facing a mountain to climb out of.

Been reading the TFP and of course they are trying to make it some sort of social statement which to me doesn't belong in the equation simply because it should be an issue of is he a competent coach. They even mentioned something about 2 Confederate flags flying near the school. That kind of thing cheapens this hire...not the guy's skin tone. I got the idea they(TFP) were trying to demean and mock the good people of Grundy Co. Just media trying to stir the pot. Uncalled for.

No pun intended?

I think you mean David Crockett HS in east TN. Crockett Co. HS in west TN has never had an nfl player as a coach.

    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out. 
    • during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season. 
    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.
