Neither I hope. He couldn't beat McMinn Co when he coached at Walker Valley even when he had superior teams. He's applied everywhere since Walker Valley fired him and no one has hired him, for good reason.

McMinn Central needs good leadership with several of their sports programs including football. Volleyball is terrible. Neither the baseball or softball teams have won a game this season! Other than a good girls basketball and soccer programs, none of these other sports are doing well. There's enough talent to have competitive programs in every sport.

Not much talent to work with in spring sports imo because Soccer is year round, Basketball is year round, Baseball/Softball and Dance is year round for kids. Sport "specialization" and travel ball is hurting HS sports at Central and smaller schools. The most talented boys play basketball only and are swayed from playing Football. The most talented girls play Soccer and travel soccer, Basketball/AAU and Dance (requirement of making and staying on the team is no other sports). 

 

*Softball is very young. 6 Freshman getting valuable PT and most first year players with 1 Freshman pitcher in her 1st year of pitching. Not a recipe for success at the moment. 

*Baseball only has 11 boys out and 2 of them are injured. You can do the math on that.

Get new AD.

Dont let sumone play favorite with the Athletics.

Treat all kids n teams the same.

I don't know where this came from or what you are referencing, but Central is in great shape at AD and now Principal (who actually makes the hire). There is a timing factor involved with any hire at this time of year for sure... teaching positions open, etc. These folks know their jobs and will fill the job as the process allows.

I have been around Central Sports for a long long time. Revenues that are generated by the system are spread very evenly. Central is a school of booster clubs and you can't compare what each of these clubs do for their individual sport. The A D is not in charge of those funds at all, not his fault if it appears to some one sport is treated better than others. I have known every A D that has been there from the beginning and none did it better than Coach Armstrong. Just my humble opinion....

    • 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.
