Exactly my point about Meadows ... If this is not true I apologize to him , but if this is true then these kids that once again have bought in to what Meadows is selling , are hurt once again . 

The younger guys def bought in, the freshmen and sophmores.  This will be Carter's 5th coach in 5 years if Meadows is gone.  I just can't see this being true with him knowing this and having the support he did from a large group of players and parents.  It will take the program a long time to recover.

Carter is a tough place to win. The community there is strong, but it is one of those places "if you ain't from here". It, along with Gibbs, are the most "rural" schools in Knoxville. They are a small fish in a big pond in Knox Co. Knox Co doesn't do a lot to help sports teams, so most are dependent on booster programs. Not a lot of money in the Carter community. Talking with some old Carter people, they seem to think that athletics takes a back seat to the band.

The principal is the former band teacher at Carter.

True the Principal is a former band director.  The band program has had quite a bit of struggles lately and this past season seemed to take a back burner to football, although that hasn't always been the case.

 

I just spoke to a football parent, their son told them Meadows had a meeting with the players today and told them that he is NOT going to Pigeon Forge and is staying at Carter.

 

So possibly the source at Sevier County Schools jumped the gun and assumed he would accept if offered?

Shad had his bags packed. I feel sorry for him now.

That whole ordeal down there at WB reminds me of a good friend of mine that was so in love with this ole gal while she cheated with everyone coming and going and no matter what we told him he wouldn't believe us. Well until she finally left for someone else that was dumber than he was. They hold on to him after being told by everyone under the sun he's applying for every opening coming and going. Sooner or later the odds are he'll find someone even dumber especially with some of the dumb hires I've seen the past two or three years. But you know when it does happen they can't say they weren't warned.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
