So she hires a friend of a friend who has never even been a coordinator? Like I said previously, she has no clue. Overton is a sinking ship. Ask Hunters Lane what bad leadership can do to an athletic program.

Clemson's coach was never a coordinator.

What Marshall County coach?  I wasn’t aware that Marshall County was busted by the TSSAA for breaking the rules.  The whole race card thing wasn’t an issue until the previous poster made it sound like all white coaches are proclaimed as great and all others are proclaimed as either cheaters or products of great talent.  That complaint is total garbage.  

Might be thinking Giles County. Don't forget Mac McCurry either. To say there isn't such a thing as white privilege would be naive, but things are much better now then they were even 10 years ago. A day will come when its about job performance and nothing else. I think you'd agree its still easier for some people to get second chances then others, but the beauty of athletics is at the end of the day the color of the jersey is all that matters when it comes to the players.

It’s easier for some to get chances and it’s easier where those chances are given based on the area.  Look at MNPS for instance and look at the current ratio of head football coaches.  That’s not accidental or coincidental.  I can tell you from experience that there are some “leaders” in Metro schools that believe it’s much easier for some to relate to the students as oppose to others.  I have been told this same thing by other highly qualified coaches/educators who applied for jobs there and were passed on because of the same reason.

    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
