The AD missed several football games for no apparent reason. He has absolutely botched several hired (baseball,football,soccer). Just has no clue what he is doing. It's like UT, when you get a guy that actually cares about the athletic department instead of collecting a check then you will become more successful as a program. Collette is just the AD because he failed as the baseball coach and they had no place else to put him as a tenured teacher.  

I will agree with you that the AD has no clue what he is doing. I will disagree with you on botching hires. Both McKamey and Byrd won at their previous jobs. Both didnt suddenly forget how to coach when they got to Clinton. 

Clinton has an administration issue that likely goes all the way to Central Office. Without backing from the administration it creates a culture where it is impossible to win. 

Parents need to let the coaches coach and the administration needs to back the coaches.

What kind of backing is there? Everything points to the fact that Clinton had some average coaches. Is it not the responsibility of the HC to make sure all parties can agree. It is 2019 and everyone has an opinion to any situation. 
 

I do agree with it starts at Central office then down to Administration then the HC. But, these names that you all speak of have that to fall back on. It’s the parents/administration fault. 
 

Win football games and run a solid program and give people something to be excited about. 
 

No dog in the fight but, it sounds like we have great coaching but, everyone else ran them out of town?

I was visiting some old friends today and one of them received a message that Rang from GP is in high consideration at Clinton.  In fact he may have already been interviewed.  This was a message from someone that coached there before a few years back and is still a teacher in the school system.  Of course I have no evidence except that what I was told. 

That would be a great hire for Clinton if they could get him. He don't need to stick around GP and never be able to get past Alcoa with what he has to work with there.

Hearing that another job is about to come open that is much more high profile and that he would likely be a very highly desired candidate for.

I think leaving GP for Clinton would be a huge mistake. Clinton will never win in their region no matter who the coach is. We simply don't have the athletes to be successful right now. We will never be better than Oak Ridge, Fulton, Powell, and West. I am sorry but people in our town need to be realistic for once.

Doesn't matter who the coach is when they have zero talent to work with. Plus, who would want a job that 6 head coaches have been forced to resign in the four years that Collette has been the AD.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
