TSSAA Football Re-Classification

i now think they will just extend 2 years which is a mistake.  Just in the area in which I live if you use last year's numbers Spring Hill, Nolensville move up to 5A, Summit and Shelbyville to 6A and Fairview is close if not over the 4A number. I am sure there are several more but those are the ones that I am somewhat familiar with. If you extend then those schools will be playing in a classification in which they far outnumber the others in the region.  Not as hard as what the TSSAA makes it seem.  They just don't want the criticism that comes with it

why wouldn't they just use the enrollment figures from last year or is that just too easy and makes perfect sense

One of the board of directors said he has talked to many coaches in east tn and none of them want to reclassify this year

Yeah it’s probably going to be pushed back. Why not just do it in the spring? The football coaches may have to wait a little longer to make their contracts and set their schedules, but that’s not too much to ask. I just think putting it off a year or two is too premature  and both create pretty significant issues with unfairness and schedule/contract problems. Thoughts?

Why not re-classify and try to match up with as many surrounding states as possible?  There has to be some teams from Ky, NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, Arkansas that would be willing to cross the border and play.  Have no clue if its possible but worth looking into.

Reclassification is not going to happen, IMO. They feel they will have their hands full trying to get this season in with possible changes and Covid things. Hard to meet face to face and have meetings. Have to do zoom meetings. Coaches have to have schedules in and rental contracts have to be in. I predict a 2 year extension. Reason is nobody wants to mess with it because of the Covid crisis and having meetings to try and get seasons played.

They should have plenty of time because this year will be canceled

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
