Anyone want to bet how fast Trey Perry put his name in the hat for Blackmon?

I heard Gruden owns land in Sevierville and is going to step down as the Raiders coach to coach Tennessee. Grumors!!

I hear said property is actually in both counties.   But which county is the larger portion in?   Inquiring minds want to know.

Tom why is he in over his head? If I'm not mistaken he was a head middle school coach, pretty sure he spent a year as an assistant under Creasy at Oakland, and was a DC at Blackman before his promotion to HC. Sounds like a logical progression. 

Severely underachieved at Blackman with the talent they had.

He was never a full-time assistant under Creasy.  The guy was a middle school coach that wasn’t prepared to be a head coach.  Not saying that he didn’t understand football, but there are a lot more things that go into being a good head coach.  He had less success than Watson.

After being a middle school head coach he was with Creasy as an assistant of some sort. Either way he became Blackman's DC under Watson. So imo you cant really say he went from being a middle school coach to a high school head coach. There were jobs in between. That is like saying Creasy went from being an assistant to being Oaklands head coach and leaving out his time at other stops including TC. 

So in your opinion what was Hartsfield lacking in? Who would you target for Blackman now?

His program underachieved and was the most undisciplined team I have ever seen.  I repeat, Hartsfield never was a full time asst. coach for Creasy.  He may of charted plays on Friday nights.

Not sure who they will be able to get.  I would take a look at someone who has successful high school experience as a head coach.

There are several successful lower classification Coaches who might be interested.   Greg Ryan at Greenback, Jason Fitzgerald at Meigs County, Derrick Rang at GP to name a few.

Whoever puts in for the job should ask for a longer than normal contract given the high turnover rate at the job.   As long as Oakland is in the Boro, they'll be the team to beat and faculty at Blackman will have to accept that beating the Patriots will be the exception as opposed to the rule in that region.

If I'm not mistaken teaching/coaching contracts are on a year to year basis. 

I don't know of a public school system in Tennessee where that's not the case. And in fact, most of the coaching supplement contracts, as I understand it, are "at the pleasure of the system", meaning they can be cancelled anytime by the school systems. The teaching contracts do require notice where there is tenure, again from my understanding.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By pioneer42 · Posted

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf

      The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..
