OP, considering the region that the team is going to have to compete in, and the what appears to be lack luster support from the community I think its probably going to be an up and comer. Something along the lines of a DC or OC at a program now. 

I wish Obion luck. It is going to a tough job building the program back.

Covington was once in a Region with Obion County Central. I only remember one time in recent memory that they beat us (the prep database says Covington is 19-6 all-time vs. Obion, but I can't personally recall 6 losses to them). 

In general, they were like Munford. Both schools have great bands, but are not too into football.

It will likely be someone from outside the area looking for their first HC position. If not, they will have to promote from within (unlikely scenario). 

As far as building the program back. They must first have a program. No coach has had a long tenure at OC.  7 to 8 years is max there. Seldom are those years above .500.  Two coaches that come to mind who had limited success there and extremely successful post OC careers are Pratt and Bowling. OC is not an environment condusive to winning football.

I know the database isn't 100% accurate, but according to the database, Obion has had 15 different coaches over the past 61 years.  Only one of those coaches has had a winning record.  Chris Hill coached the Rebels in 1961 and 1962.   During his 2 year stint at OCC, the Rebs won 13 games and lost 9.

That is probably accurate. The math says that's an average of 4.06 years per coach. Makes you scratch your head and wonder.

Chris Hill is still coaching in Arkansas. I doubt he was there is 1961 and 1962, lol. More like 2001 and 2002. And seems like Shawn Jackson had a pretty good run there in 2010 and 2011 or somewhere in there.

You may be correct.  I was just stating what I found on the database,  and I did state that I know the database isn't always accurate. 

Shawn Jackson did have a 9-3 record in 2011, but it appears his overall record at Obion was 22-32.

Look at this link:

i do stand corrected.  Chris Hill coached at Obion from 2001-2002 (not 61 and 62).  Sorry.

    • 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.
