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.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
