Doesn't matter what happened at Concord Christian, Troy is a darned good football coach.  That is a very small private school that tried to start a program from scratch with Troy, and it's a program that didn't have financial aid available.  Troy had no control over who came to the school.  

Troy is on the staff at the new Lakeway Christian in Morristown, who start playing next year.  Former Furman University head coach Bruce Fowler is the head coach at Lakeway.  

Yes to compare ANY school to CCCS is a complete joke.That team had no chance at winning a game against TSD.Troy is a fine coach and anyone would be blessed to have him.CCCS...well bless their heart is all i can say.

How will Cummings do at Halls? I know there was quite a bit of celebration about the other guy leaving. 

Bottom line:  He has to get the athletes in the school who are only playing one other sport out for football, he needs to get the kids who aren't playing football who could be helping the program out for football, and he has to keep the kids zoned Halls who are going elsewhere to school and playing football to stay home. 

Scott is a very good football coach, but even the best coaches can't win if they don't have the horses.

I’d be concerned with him running kids off, not saying Cummings isn’t a good coach but he didn’t mesh with Cleveland. He ran our kids off and nobody liked playing for him. I’m glad he’s gone as is everybody else. He didn’t want the pressure that was on him to win at Cleveland especially at the 6a level. Maybe Halls will have better luck with him than we did. But if u ask me, he won’t be at Halls long either. He’s using them to eventually work his way back to West.

I know Scott well.  He's a darned good football coach.  You don't win state championships not being able to manage a staff and connect with coaches and kids.  

Nope, his Cleveland experience wasn't good, and there were a lot of factors both on and off the field that came in to play.  It was best for both he and Cleveland to move on and both get new starts.  

I get that you are a Cleveland guy, and that's fine.  But don't try to tell me that Scott isn't a good football coach.  His record says differently.

You’re right and circumstances here happened that lead to it, but we are glad he’s gone as I’m sure he is. He can get back to where he’s comfortable in Knox coaching 5a ball

His record at CHS was 21-21. 0-4 vs Bradley, 2-2 against Walker Valley and managed to wreck one of the most talented group of middle schoolers to come through the program in addition to dressing 45 kids this year.  His record at Cleveland speaks for itself and that is all Cleveland folks give a darn about.

If I were a betting man, id say we will be here in 3 years or less talking about him leaving Halls and going back to West or somewhere else. What u think Draper?

Probably so.  Hope he does well there.  Interesting to me that another poster referenced Halls being glad the previous guy was gone.  The Cleveland kids loved him and respected him while he was here.  Just goes to show that finding the right “fit” is important and that a record at another school is not an indication of success at a new school.

Well one things for sure, if Bosken was the head coach, Elder would have never left for Blackman.  But your right Bosken is a players coach, and was well liked at Cleveland.

    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
    • Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA. 
    • It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team. 
    • Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
