Palmer burned a lot of bridges in Rutherford when he pulled out of Siegel last minute. He also has a lot of baggage in his personal life. Not to say he wouldn’t be a good coach there. 

I have heard this from a few people. What baggage? I've only ever heard about how great of a man he was, and was valued on Christian beliefs and morals.

If you haven’t heard what happened to cause shelbyville to let him go after they paid for him to back out of the Siegel job I’m not going to put the man’s business out in here. Just say it wasn’t very

They would have to give him the same 120 day contract situation. He can't draw retirement and be full time. Also, he would not come back to RuCo because he would not have the control to bring in

Sorry but you probably shouldn't have even brought it up if you weren't  going to name names.

This thread is long on rumors, short on logic. Only way Hartsfield leaves Blackman this year is on his own, he has no pressure from the administration. Blackman has taken a step back, but nobody stops to think why they have instead they just blame the coach. 

Replace Hartsfield and your gonna have the same problems. Blackman could have taken the easy way out and played an easier schedule, but they didn't; some years you reap the benefit some years it's just not in the cards. Nobody in RuCo is beating Oakland until Creasy and Jackson leave, so the quarterfinals is the best you can do and that's exactly what Blackman did in 2019

Why did he go to Mt. Pleasant?

Also, I am now hearing from multiple people Palmer is in fact a name in the hat, along with Derek Pritchard, DC at Ensworth. This will be an interesting hiring process. 

Palmer would take it in a heart beat.   I don't know the situation over there, but I do know since Shadowen's was released, its been a revolving door.   I thought Watson did a good job over there and had a nice record as well.   It really makes you wonder to what standard they're holding these guys....

I don't know the specifics but something had to have gone on for Shelbyville to let Palmer go. Then you have the Siegel issue. And wasn't Palmer going to Summit before backing out on them? Too many bright red flags imo. 

And ive heard he is a good coach and his record backs that up. But not once have I heard he was a good person until fuzzy brought it up. 

Blackman needs to get this hire right.

Well the people I heard that from had boys on the team. I'm sure all the winning and success would blind some eyes. Who knows the truth man.

I know two very successful Coaches in East Tennessee that have inquired about jobs in the past couple of years.   It'll be interesting to see if either of those have an interest in this one..... No, I won't name any names, but they're familiar to most.

Why not say their names??  They would probably enjoy the ego boost

      Mairvul Footbawl 2024

      Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

      Head Coaching Jobs in West TN

      By Mooreboy3 · Posted

      The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent.

      New Rules

      By KidGloves · Posted

      Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
