There was in fact an interview yesterday for this position. Can’t confirm the identity of the candidate but there was definitely an interview. I have been told that the administration is disappointed in the lack of applicants for this job. I think they were expecting much more interest. 

I wonder what they expected?  Probably the toughest district in the classification and lowest enrollment in their district.  How many coaches will the new coach be able to bring in?  That may also be a factor.

 

The QB is a talent though!

Maybe they are waiting to see if Coach Simpson is retained at UTM?? If he is let go then bye bye QB.

I know UTM didn't have the greatest season this year, but is there speculation that he might be let go? I feel like he's done a pretty good job in his time there, has been a little while since they one the OVC though, but this would definitely be a game changer if the young QB goes else where.

Hankins took it, then turned it down. My guess is they couldn't match the pay. 

I heard this today as well. Doubt it was pay though. When you accept a job it is a given that you would know the pay before you accept. Doesn’t make any sense to me. I accepted and called the very next day and backed out. Weird stuff. The search goes on.

I understand that, it might have been a factor after a few days of reflection. Who knows? I know that Weakley County's teacher pay is not very good, and the coaching stipend would have to be pretty high to offset.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • “facts” or better yet ‘opinions’ had been up for weeks/months. that’s not why the thread was deleted. get over yourself. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say the have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented? 
    • Crazy how the thread just gets deleted when facts come out.
    • I understand I guess it depends on the school you are with and the time you want to put in.  It’s evident of the schools that don’t put in as much times.  I would say basketball players put in as much time as any sport in our school system and this is coming from a football town.  Bball is a longer season than other sports.
