I don't think my post said he was on the committee but if you don't think he was consulted on this then you know less about the program than you let on.  This sounds personal to me.  I personally think this is a great hire.

You’re probably right I don’t know as much as I know about the program, just seems odd to me that Ballard was a reference for only one coach that applied and that coach didn’t get the job but you’re right his input was used very heavily in the decision making

Well I know the exact 7 people that was on the hiring committee and Ballard wasn’t one of them but the good news is it took 2 years to get the right hire the last time a long time head coach stepped down

I’m not saying that at all, and I didn’t say zeller stepped down atleast I don’t think I did and if I did I apologize

And I was there as well during the transition but I was only there for one year of the transition 

Then we definitely played together.  McCurry's first year was my Senior Year

How do you know that? Which candidate was he a reference for?

Hammonds was an excellent choice and hire. 

I completely agree.

IMO, Jones comes with waaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much baggage. If you get sent out of Newport, there's no reason the be in Greeneville. Hope the best for him as he continues at HVA.

Baugh burnt too many bridges leaving. He also went 1-9 last year in what is left the old IMAC. Not too impressive. 

Craney is too young at this point in time. Wouldn't mind seeing him come on as an assistant and gaining more experience. 

I know Hammonds left too, but there there are some key points to make about that. #1. He came back and has been back. #2. If offered, who wouldn't leave to go work for a family member if asked for one year with the expectation to take over for that said family member when he leaves? Let me remind you, that the family member is a Hall of Famer. 

Hammonds knows the staff and they know him. Hammonds knows the players and they know him. Hammonds knows the system and what it takes to win championships. He was and is the right choice!

Go Devils!

Bud as far as the schedule . They play at Powell, at science Hill at Daniel Boone at elizabethton at Sullivan East at Sullivan central. And at home against Austin East home against Union county home against Sullivan south and Home against Grainger. 6 road 4 home. This is not the correct order just off the top of my head

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • 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.
