Not questioning the hire for HVA, but Oak Ridge didn’t promote him. If he was a home run hire he’d be at Oak Ridge as the HC. He also doesn’t have a state championship win on his resume, Josh does. 

Not taking anything away from Josh, but we all know who runs the offense at Powell. And… you would’ve had to be a moron to not be successful with the talent on that roster. He has such a small sample size because of his inexperience, but he didn’t exactly light it up at CAK in 2018. Not to mention having to vacate a win, and being asked to leave.

Again, an interesting take. 

Let's just hope this HVA hire is better than the last one, as they haven't exactly been setting it on fire the last few years.

Absolutely agree, West Knoxville football is better when HVA is competitive. I do think Potter will add a ton of experience to Josh’s staff on the defensive side. He will need the help.

Many can say Matt runs the show. I don’t doubt that he has a heavy say in offense and defense. CAK, like mentioned earlier in this post throw JJ in year one under the bus but those defensive number might want to get revisited by anyone talking CAK 2018.

The defense caused them to be held to less than 20 on seven occasions? Interesting. And the defense caused them to forfeit due to an ineligible player? How about the blatant cheating that forced the board to remove him from the program? Not a surprise that they improved when he left.

Ineligible player is a head coach problem, not a JJ problem. Defense allowed 44+ in 6 of the 8 losses. Spin it how you need to, sure the offense numbers weren’t there. Let’s not confuse that defense with the 85 Bears either. If you’re going back 4 years when JJ is fresh off a state championship. Not much to complain about. Your complaint should be that his offense didn’t score 45+ a game.

I don’t know who was running the offense in the loss to Catholic but you can hang that L on offensive play calling in the second half. Powell should have continued to run the ball since the Irish couldn’t stop them. Going for home run balls and a stupid FG attempt were the only way Catholic had any chance to win.

Do OC's call FG attemps?

Listen to the big bird in the sky, when he tells you this. Coach Potter may not even be coaching at Bearden on either side of the ball and definitely will not be the DC.  I do agree he would add a lot of experience if he decides decides to join his staff but that is to be seen in the future.  Now for HVA the bird foresees them winning 3 to possible 5 games just because of the kids being older.

Let's not mention that CAK was 2-9 prior to Josh arriving.

Actually is it not an AD/Principal problem.  Unless things have changed recently do they not they sign off on eiligibility?

No clue.... But somebody keep insisting on throwing the ball all over the field and stopping the clock with incompletions. Stopping the clock and the FG attempt were the ONLY way Catholic had an opportunity to steal that win.
