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.   

 

That's what I thought as well.

I don't know how all that stuff works.

My point was, given Blackmans recent history,  I'd need some assurances that I'd have ample time to turn things around before I agreed to take the job.

The issue is that local administrators don't have the authority to make such promises and even if they do make them orally, they aren't binding.  And in systems with multiple schools, administrators are moved often and chances are that an administrator who hires a coach isn't going to be there in 3-4 years down the road.  

Bottom line - they are teachers first.  That's what they are hired to do.  Coaching isn't the primary function of those folks.  And a large, large, percentage of the coaches I know are in it for the right reasons first, to educate young folks.  

While a lot of things about high school sports has become more like college athletics, primarily because of the social media pressures, it's still high school.  Unfortunately pressure on coaches to win championships at that level is way too great, IMO.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
