Never too early, Coaching Vacancies

[Tiger1214]

The number dropped from 450 to 425...it's why CPA and Knox Webb had to move up to AA.

Yeah last time the number was 451 and both CPA and Webb miraculously came in at 449.

This time the drop in number came after enrollment was turned in.

Cumberland Co is now looking for a Boys coach 

Any names rumored to be in line for the job?  Will they hire from inside?

Coach Foster just resigned so it’s unknown what will happen. He did endorse his assistant Denney for the job.

The girls coach quit last June and they were able to hire McWilliams (the son) from Upperman. Cumberland is not a high pressure job at all but they have hired a lot of coaches recently in all sports. Football is a mess because it’s hard to keep the good athletes from magically ending up at Stone Memorial. Basketball has actually been good and kids want to play here.

Somewhat incorrect. CPA moves up to AA in all other sports except football due to enrollment. Much like Lipscomb did already. The "Roller Rule" still protects both of them in football.

What is Roller rule?

He was on the board representing D2 and got the ridiculous AA established so Lipscomb would not have to play football against BA/MBA/Ensworth etc.

No reason to have 3 divisions with 60 teams. Set the cut at 400 and go. If you look at the enrollment numbers for D2 there is a very definite split already there that would give the large schools 16 teams. Two regions of 8. But instead you had a couple schools that could not compete at that level and set it up to protect themselves. Those 2 didn't come in at 449 when the split was 450 by accident.

Huge hire for sure but they will still be facing an uphill climb state wide. 

Don't forget about teams like Goodpasture, CPA, Knoxville Webb, Notre Dame, FACS, ECS, Tipton Rosemark, etc... 

All these teams are Division 2 Class A because Division 2 did not change anything with classifications

Like I said, huge hire. Great and proven coach. But it is an uphill climb.

Certainly, true. In no way crowning them just because of the hire. However, I think this will make them a lot more competitive then they have been since moving to D2. I think they'll start to get athletes in that will make them more competitive with the teams you mentioned.

Lot of good basketball in D2. Nothing is easy or a given.

This is our biggest problem at CCHS. We make too many excuses. There is no magic line that separates the good athletes in football. You said it yourself We get good basketball players. The problem is we get to worried about crying about them over there, and not focused on getting better. Our sports problems is not with zoning or transfers, it is with our culture. 

Kids can't even go out of zone to stone so they do not magically end up across town. There is no magic water on that side making them better. They hired good coaches and work on getting better

We work on trying to make sure we complain about everything they do instead instead of looking in the mirror.

I feel that Cumberland has the better basketball coaches now but this is a hire the school needs to get right. McWilliams has a heck of a girls team returning (they ran with Macon for a half) and the boys have a lot of young pieces coming up. I don’t have a dog in the fight but do know parents of Stone football players that have their kids in both schools.

I didn’t think Webb would end up going up.
