Alot of the things you said are true! But it is what it is. This is high School football. Why does it have to be so serious? Why is winning so important?  Trust me, I get frustrated when we lose, but

No different than Oak Ridge fans on coachT asking to fire their coach every day  and hire Centrals coach.

It doesn't hurt when you have an uncle on the school board and an uncle who is a county commissioner either.

Lane was a no go because he’s not a certified teacher.... another lame 2a coach.. collette needs to be fired. I’m sick if the same crap over and over again. 

The last 2A coach had a great resume...

Y'all really know how to make the new guy feel welcomed!  LOL.......I've never seen anything quite like this. Hopefully he won't read this mess.

An honest evaluation of someone's previous record/resume, is more than fair, when they are expected to resurrect a 5A program in one of the toughest regions in the state.

As I said, Y'all really know how to make the new guy feel welcomed. I've always thought the best way to welcome a new coach on board was to publicly critique his resume, so you're right on target. I hope no one dares to say "Welcome to Clinton" or "Good Luck, Coach", that would be just awful ! Hey, I'm an OR guy with just a passing interest in what's going on with the new hire across the county, so it really doesn't bother me for y'all to make your new coach feel unwelcomed, but it's certainly a bit surprising.

This is part of the problem at Clinton and I hate being a part of a place that does this.  Dog a coach before he even starts why would someone good want to come coach there.  Lane would be the best hire for Clinton.  Rumor is AC doesn’t want him to get the job bc he is one heck of a recruiter and he is a players coach! Before you spread rumors call some high school coaches around and see what they say about him.  The great ones will tell you about Kevin Lane. He is a DC who can easily be a head coach. 

Lane did the same thing with West and other schools HC jobs he has applied for. He tells the administration he is working on his certification and that it is not a state rule or T$$AA rule that you have to be a certified teacher to be a head football coach in Tennessee. A certain school system might require an applicant to be a certified teacher, but T$$AA does not. Some coaches have gotten a waver from the state to be able to teach while they are getting certified. But l don't know if this is the case. I think the only real state requirement to be a HC of a high school football team is 5 years experience as an assistant and then pass all of the other T$$AA test on concussion/coaching ethics/something. They made these rule changes gradually over the years starting with assistant coaches in the various sports back in the mid 90s l think. These assistant coach positions were categorized as non faculty coaches. They have continued to decrease the requirements to be a head coach. Many other states had lessened the requirements of being a teaching faculty member  to be a head football coach many years ago.

I don't understand the misunderstanding on what offensive system the team in Kentucky this new coach ran. Seems like a big swing between wing t to shotgun to l formation to wishbone to pistol systems.

They were a power I/wishbone type team that ran the ball often. Maybe 90/10 run pass. Coach Keith did a really good job at a place with low expectations. Going to be a good challenge stepping up to 5A comp in TN

5A football in Tennessee is a whole new level of football. Brad Collette needs to be fired asap and Caleb Tipton can go with him.

The work ethic, integrity, and desire should be there with a military man.  Those are major positives, but the football side is much in question.  Nobody is against him doing well, but to say it doesn't make sense, in light of all the other candidates is absolutely accurate.

I agree that there are Uninformed fools on every thread but the difference in the two you compared is that the new coach just hired at YOUR school hasn’t done anything yet to make some fool mad. His honeymoon period seemed to end prior to his hiring

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      They do have good community support for sure and did when I coached under Z for 4 years. (I was on that staff that turned them around a little from winning 1 game a year to actually being competitive).  Great Kids and Great Community over there.  They have done some good things with the facilities from when i coached too.

      I personally will not mind that one bit.  It seems like a really strange fit to me from the git go.

      Hey, I am a big fan of LC even before my friend SC got that job.  Every time I have been down there for a game, their fans have showed up and stayed positive cheering on the boys regardless of the score.  I think they have great support and great potential.  I'm coming down for some home games this year for sure.  I'm pulling for LC.

      They didn't erect one of Zeller when he took them to the Quarter Finals in 2011 getting beat by a TD by Powell and Dy'Shawn mobley or in 2012 when they went 9-3 and finished 2nd in the conference behind Maryville. (That conference was stacked too with teams like Maryville, Catholic, West, Farragut, and Bearden)
