I really feel for those kids at Houston County. From the outside it looks like some very wishy-washy leadership is ruining what I thought was a team that was coming together under a new coach. They came to our place two years ago to play for a spot in the playoffs, and kept fighting back from behind to win in a monsoon when the old Irish teams would have quit. Last year, they were pretty solid, improving, and really surprised some people. This year, the "dangling carrot" of getting to play has been jerked away like Lucy pulling the football away as Charlie Brown tries to kick it. Just let 'em play!

This stuff is crazy. Are some people using Covid as a crutch to cancel games?

Their whole situation is unstable Bass. Administration said that there'd be no in person classes there, and that as long as it was "unsafe" to have class on campus that no athletic events would be scheduled. They forefit their first few weeks games, then tell our coaches that they were going to play until right before gameday, when they cancelled (we didn't have time to find an opponent). Next, they DO play, and everyone assumes that they're going to play the schedule out, and now it's off again.

   Just for the record, I don't think that the coaches or anyone involved with the team is responsible.

    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.  
    • He was pretty darn good for a freshman, but he will have a hard time seeing the field at Oakland for a good while, I’m afraid.
    • Dang I feel bad for the kid. I’m sure he loves his dad and wants to do anything for his dad but I don’t think he realizes his dad isn’t doing the best for his football career if he keeps jumping schools.
    • I’m not taking shots at the kid, but “athlete” is not something I would use to describe him. He was a long, lengthy, defensive back
