I believe this can be a "GREAT JOB". Obviously it seems that the committee is taking their time to find the 
"GREAT" Hire. Which is fine to do. Collierville is in a tough Region. However, with those Facilities and New School.

No reason this can not be a top tier job in that Region. Best of luck to the Dragons. Beautiful Campus and area.

Collierville hires White Station's Joe Rocconi as football coach

Collierville has named Joe Rocconi as its football coach, hiring the 1995 Collierville graduate who spent the past six years coaching White Station.

White Station finished 3-8 last year. Collierville was 5-6. Both schools lost in the first round of the 6A playoffs. 

Previous coach Mike O'Neill resigned in December. 

"We are thrilled to welcome Joe back to Collierville as the next leader of our football program," system athletics director Jeff Curtis said in a statement. "He is a former defensive standout at Memphis that is known for his offensive acumen and student-athlete development on and off the field."

I'm not a Joe Rocconi fan in any shape or form. I think this is a terrible hire. Now, who will White Station hire? That's the question.

This is the hire the Dragons make? 

Last 5 seasons 

2018: (3-8)

2017: (5-8) 

2016: (7-5)

2015: (9-4) 

2014 (4-7)

I know the New Coach is a Graduate of Collierville. I am sure this will help generate some excitement. However, the wins have fallen over time. White Stafion is known for athletes. Plus always going to the playoffs because of only 4 teams in the region. I know Collierville has some athletes as well. But, I would think White Station has more. Not stating if the coach is bad or good. Just strictly looking at Wins and Losses. Hope nothing but the best to the Dragons going forward.

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
