If I was an administrator hiring a HC, he would be at the top of my list I will point out 1 thing. Hester left Ravenwood when he knew the athletes where drying up and went to Nolensville where everyone in the county knew was a hotbed. Daniels came in and did a great job of rebuilding Ravenwood back up. Now he is the knight in shining armor coming back after chasing the money to Alabama without much success on the field. Like him or hate him Daniels did a great job and I hope his time with the family is everything that he is looking for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly exceeded a lot of people’s expectations from when he took over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really fair to classify him as chasing money, when he took on a new challenge and accomplished good things while he was there. His parents live right across the street from the school...him coming back makes sense for everyone but you apparently. You can appreciate Daniels without badmouthing Hester.

It was their first appearance in awhile, not their first appearance ever. Ravenwood had success pretty early on with Rector at the helm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workinprogress Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Ravenwood won a championship with Rector. As for Hester, good guy and coach. But if he really liked Ravenwood so much he wouldn't have left to start Nolensville. Much of what boowho said is accurate like it or not. My question is why didn't Ravenwood open the job up to at least see what interest there was? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryville would have been the 5th or 6th best team in Middle Tennessee this year and would have been 3rd or 4th best team in 6A for Mid Tennessee.

WingT08 Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Guess he couldn't cut it in Alabama. Understandable since the level of football is higher down there in Dixie than it is in the Volunteer state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to ignore the pull of being able to create a program from scratch , esp when you know the talent will be there. It's not like he went far. If you have a chance to hire a coach who has won a state title and been able to beat Maryville, good chance your not gonna be able to do better than that. Why waste time with a search?

workinprogress Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Midtn I have to disagree. It's not hard to turn away starting a program when your parents live across the street from where you are at and you used to go hunting where the school is located. He threw all that away when he left the first time to go to where the athletes were. Also and its just my opinion but if a coach leaves to go start a program down the road his loyalty goes with him. I just think they should have opened it up to see who was interested. There could have been an even better choice so its not wasting time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
