On paper at first glance it doesn't look great.  Everything I can tell Bledsoe is only his 3rd stop as HC.  He was Head Coach at Monterey when he was a young guy from (1995-1997) and was (5-27) and then at Stewart Co.  (2000-2002) and was (7-23) .

However from what I can find he has been an Assistant Coach at Emanuel County Institute in Georgia until he took the job in Pikeville (2004-2018) .  He was ECI's Offensive Coordinator from (2008-2018) in that span they were (110-27) won 5 Region Titles and their 2nd State Championship and his offense put up a combined 5,249 points in those years he was OC.   It appears he learned a lot in that span and found or developed an offense he really likes and makes it where his kids can execute it.

The past two years after he left for Pikeville, ECI (2019-2020) is (10-11) only scoring 512 points. 

His two years at Bledsoe Co. (2019-2020) Tabor and BCHS is (19-5) scoring 696 points of which 387 was scored last season.  In the previous five years (2014-2018) Bledsoe Co. scored a combined 923 points. 

 

I would say he learned a lot in between HC jobs. He had some good kids at Bledsoe the past couple years but I also believe he's a good coach. Sequatchie is in a good position to be able to land a very good coach. Facilities will be second to none in the area.

Heard the Bledsoe Co coach is the frontrunner?

That isn't what you said, you said "It seems the powers to be don’t want football to succeed by the delay in the hiring."  If they didn't care about football succeeding do you think they would be

I agree! 

Any coach at Sequatchie County regardless of sport in my opinion will never have to go without something that some other program might have in regards to facilities or equipment to help his team compete and be successful.   Who ever they hire they need someone who can talk to the kids and recruit the halls as there has been a number of great athletes over the last several years not playing football and focusing instead on basketball, baseball, wrestling, soccer or running track. 

I like the idea of hiring Grider  I think his name would help a lot in what I mentioned about getting some kids on the fence out.  I know he had took a job as an Assistant but maybe he isn't done with being a HC and was just burned out in SP and needed a fresh start.   While he wouldn't have the athletes he had at SP as folks saw what Coach Caine did in Dunlap in just a couple of years if a coach like Grider or anyone for that matter can get the kids to buy in and give 110% they can compete with most anyone at the 3A level. 

I'm hoping an announcement comes Tuesday or at least this week.  Maybe a decision has been made and they gave someone the weekend to think it over.   It would give the new coach a couple of weeks to get to know his players and get a playbook gone over before the Dead Period.

Best of luck to you whoever you hire. Except for that 2nd week :thumb:

Thanks!  I gotta think Tabor from Bledsoe has to be our top candidate!  He’s Young. He’s Close. Seems to be a hot commodity. I hear he really like us and what we have to offer at Sequatchie. No brainer for both parties!

I think it will come later this week.  i don't know how much they were able to do last week due to spring fling going on.  Good luck.

Every school has kids walking the hallways that should be playing, but just won't.   Ten years from now they all wish they had

      Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.

      He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.

      Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
