Just an awfultalent pool for a school that size. All sports are that way. It’s a shame honestly. Four years ago they almost were classified to go tripleA (in the sports other than football). That would’ve been a death sentence. 

Grew up there, and graduated from there. It's not so much the talent pool as it is the schools and communitys desire to make football a priority. No one in the town with a voice or with the ability to make change has any desire to make it better. Trust me on that.

I trust you. Maybe I was a bit harsh in what I said. But to be one of the largest schools in their classification (in all sports) and to be a doormat isn’t the best look.

Nah bud, it's easy to think that considering their record at football for the last 20 years. Alot of schools have the same problem. Cumberland Gap is probably one of those schools just to mention one you may be familiar with . Its bigger than Meigs slightly by comparison but I've never known them to have a good team. Some communities and schools are just O.K with being mediocre or less honestly. The problem with that is the kids are the ones that suffer. My nephew is a freshman and rides the bench there at Sequoyah now. My sister recently asked me why Sequoyah is the way it is. I Told her the same thing I posted here. She had taken her son to some of our games at Meigs in 2018 to watch my kids play and he was hooked at how the crowd was and how the games went for us. She didnt and couldn't understand why it was different at Sequoyah when he made it to High School this year. It's been a big let down for them. This is Sequoyahs coaches 2nd year and he had some great coaches to learn from from what I've read. Phil Fulmer being one of them if I'm not mistaken it's been a while. ( my statement may not be fully accurate) but it was something along those lines. Anyhow turning something like Sequoyah around would take an intervention from alot more people than what are interested in doing so. Coaches need dedicated help also.

    • Yes this process is moving slower than I would have expected
    • also was told coady auston applied, he served as defensive coordinator for greenfield under don pitt several years ago before going to Obion county  
    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
