MNPS is and has been open zoned if the student provides their own transportation.  Good players will follow a good coach.

This is the stupidest post you ever made if you are referring to new Overton coach. Most of your post have truth and informative.

Some MNPS coaches use the open zone inside the county to offer kids a chance to play for them. I remember a few years back a coach had a player that lived in Hendersonville on his team. I still do not know how he did not get caught. 

Called a blind eye. And No coach in metro recruits.

Let’s not be naive. If a coach is not playing by the rules established by MNPS ( encouraging kids to attend their opened zoned school) the coach will not be successful.  There is nothing wrong with promoting ones program and encouraging kids to attend your school. Those kids probably want to take an academic class not offered at their zoned school. Lol

It is still wrong for a coach to make first contact to a kid for the sole purpose to play football. Open zone is not about sports, it is about academics, and if parents want their kid in a school for that reason that is fine. What metro has now is coaches that can't coach and need athletes to overcome their coaching.

Like the countless metro kids who play in Sumner county?

As I said before so who are you blaming the parents or the kids? Are 13/14 year olds telling their parents what school they’re attending and that’s final?

Most times parents and kids are not even aware of going to another school, then this happens. A coach approaches a kid or a parent and says we would love to have your son at out school. Now the parents and player need to decide if they want to go to school there. Just happens that the kid is a good player probably best on his current team. Academics is never discussed . I would go on record and say the 3 new players at Overton never considered Overton until a coach reached out. Just also happens all 3 are starters. Once again academics was never mentioned because the schools these kids are coming from has better academics .

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
