I should have put a :wink: with that original post.

Yes he did.

I will have to side with Workinprogress on this one. He left Ravenwood because the better athletes were going to be at Nolensville. Parents location didn't mean squat then or now.  He is following the athlete trail.  

Ravenwood might have been surprised at what they could have gotten if they had opened it up. Guess we will never know. 

I am confident, however, that they didn't try to talk him out of it down south.

Coach Hester went to the Quarterfinals in like his second year there, and made the first ever playoff appearance for the school or something like that in his first year.  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.  

Hester a a good guy. But he did chase the athletes to Nolensville and the money to Alabama.  He made no secret about the money when he left so I am not saying anything that he hasn't already said.  Maybe I am wrong but A LOT of coaches could have won with the dudes that RVenwood had during his reign.  They were loaded.  Heater has been at 4 programs now. Lavergne was not good at all.  Ravenwood was very good.  Nolensville was too early to tell and then Alabama which apparently was not going well.   So is really some great coach like some of you believe?  Maybe but maybe not.  Most coaches can win with great talent.  I just felt it was a little unfair to broad brushing coach Daniels achievements like they were petty

His first Nolensville Varsity team was the first team in STATE HISTORY to win a playoff game with no seniors in the building.  That is not too early to tell in my book.

You’re going to have to elaborate unless you were talking about his physical transformation, which was remarkable. 

Well, since I posted an article by Tom Kreager about his weight loss and then linked to two pictures from said article which showed his transformation and said article stated he lost over 220 lbs. I find it hard to believe that you didn't know what I was talking about.

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

Daniels is a good coach. However, he was perhaps unaware of many things happening in his program.

    • Perhaps it is within the realm of possibility that the comprehension of my discourse, both by yourself and others, may be circumscribed by the boundaries of intellectual acumen. Might one contemplate this notion from such a perspective? Allow me to clarify that my intent does not lean towards disparagement, save for instances where provocation is directed towards myself or the esteemed troupe of the Trousdale County Yellow Jackets who proudly find domicile upon the hallowed grounds of CREEKBANK. In contemplation of the candidates under discussion, it is conjectured that individuals such as Gregory, Woodmore, Vetetoe, Eden, Hackett, and Cothron may emerge as contenders. Regrettably, it is deemed improbable that Shoulders shall express interest in this pursuit. Speculation arises regarding the potential candidacy of BJ West, albeit the implications of familial ties with Lafayette introduce complexities to such a scenario. The enigma of Dr. Clint's deliberations looms large, fraught with the weight of a formidable decision yet to be made.
    • My kind sir, you seem to be lost within the time space continuum having traveled from the 16th Century or you aspire to hide your true intelligence by masking your language with that of the great playwright. You know good and well, your commentary takes your fellow comrades hours to decipher what you are really saying and most of them are likely left questioning whether you have insulted them or find them to be in your favor. I offer you some advice. In my travels through this area of the country, it is best to speak slow and with a twang and you don't annunciate  words to their fullest. Your points will be clear then!  Any names been mentioned around town as Actual Applicants to this job? Seen several post mentioning individuals, but I haven't heard of any of them except for Shoulders. Does he have ties to TC?  Have amy of the other names mentioned ever been in the HC position before? 
    • They’re building something special there. They have 4 Varsity games scheduled & 5 JV. They are trying for a 5th Varsity game. Beat them now because they will be good in the future. They are building a football field there I think but the rich pricks of Farragut won’t let them get lights so they are possibly looking at property to build a stadium & field with lights 
    • The gustatory amalgamation of succulent pork chops juxtaposed with verdant greens indeed evokes a sensory delight. Clint's narrative, imbued with the ethos of resilience, navigated the tumultuous waters of the 1980s with commendable fortitude. As for the prospective successor to the coaching helm, the mention of esteemed mentor Nick Saban's absence prompts a discerning hesitation towards alternative candidates, for excellence is the sole criterion deemed worthy of emulation.  Pray, may I inquire as to your esteemed identity? Are you perchance a luminary within the domain of coaching, endowed with unparalleled wisdom and insight?
