Although thats normally not the case for sports like football, there is not a rule in place that only applies to football in terms of hiring a head coach. There are tennis and cross country forums you can post in. This is football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do occasionally argue with the Nashville folk on the wrestling forums though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHSAlum12 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Where did @dawgs82 go? He was the man with the inside knowledge. Any intelligence on this hire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he’s a bookie AND a degenerate gambler? Next he’ll be a sexual predator like the assistant coach at Heritage. Lots of accusations be thrown around about a guy that hasn’t been named a head coach, unless I’ve missed something.

County actually does approve Jones hire...no former assistants agree to coach, but all stay on staff as teachers at BHS. There are no positions to offer and next year's football staff has ZERO coaches present in the building. The former assistants, all coaching elsewhere, have marvelous seasons. The parents, noticeably upset by the fact that no coaches are around their boys during the school day, demand a coaching change after 1 year. Process starts all over again. Or they continue to not make the playoffs in a mediocre district again 4-6, 4-6, 5-7 and 8-3 the last 4 years. Those stats scream hiring JJ would be welcomed if he can turn them back into 8-3. I'm sure the coaches on staff would welcome the idea of being able to compete again. Parents will be upset if their kid is not playing, not that he is not there to babysit during school hours.

Farragut was a 4 seed, got hot in the playoffs but needed to beat BHS to make the playoffs. Bearden beats FHS they are in the playoffs.

HTV Posted December 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, edwardblake said: No it hasn't been made, probably because KCS is having to figure out why Bearden's administration is trying to hire a bookie as their head coach. That particular coach has already had to pass a background check, given that he is a supplemented coach in Knox County already. And again, not advocating for or against him if he is the choice.

oridgecat Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 FWIW. I have heard that they want to hire JJ, but are facing backlash from community as well as HR downtown. . I have also heard that if they can't hire him, they will fall back to a guy that used to coach at Bearden and left prior to last season.
