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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swipes Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 I think the coaching staff seems to be ok with the Hire. Ballard twitted "Your in great hands Greene Devils! #RollOn" , Spradlen retweeted 5 Starpreps Article and also The GHS News story about it. Lets see what Hammonds can do!

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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greendevil87 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Will be one of the 2 hardest games on the schedule. The game with Powell on the road. The other will be the game at elizabethton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greendevil87 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited March 11, 2019 by Greendevil87 Spelling I hate this phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
