Coach Gaddis was not forced out, in fact they wanted him to continue, but as he said, "its time" and he made the decision with a lot of thought. He is leaving behind a potentially good team with a lot of experienced players returning, and some that were out with injuries will also return. He said he wanted to leave the new coach the same situation he came into in 1988, when he inherited a talented team and went 10-0 in the regular season and won a couple of playoff games before a narrow loss to a talented Oakland team. The same possibility is there for the new coach, whoever that may be, and it will probably be a couple of weeks before a committee can be assembled and resumes collected and interviews conducted, That process hasn't started yet. The job will be posted, then if all these guys mentioned are really interested they can apply. There are a number of good coaches out there, most are currently employed, so they have to decide if they want to stay or try for this job. I also understand OR will need a number of assistant coaches as some will go to Hardin Valley with Coach Miner, which is a great hire for them by the way. I am sure all the potential coaches mentioned know the deal and will actually apply and who gets offers. OR has to get this right, it is an end of an era and the beginning of a new one,

Big changes for sure at OR with Gaddis and Miner both gone. As you say, some will go with Miner, some others may retire, and the new coach may not retain some of the current assistant coaches. I just hope they get this done and bring in the new coach in January

Wildcats1Ridge will not be back for awhile, if ever. Some of the language he used simply cannot be accepted on these boards.

Willie I respect what your saying but my coaches called me a lot worse when I messed up.Im taking shots at the oline as a whole instead of saying names.I also blame coaches way more than the players.W

Thank you all for watching the show. I have done that show or one similar with five different Oak Ridge coaches over the years and last night was not an excuses show but a true reality show. Coach mad

I just hope our guys doing the hiring thoroughly think this over. Like Cactus was saying, this is a VERY important hire, and not something we should jump the gun on. Not saying anybody is, but it’s imperative we don’t, IMO. I would completely exhaust all resources available.

Not close to the situation, but on the outside just looks like it wasn't a good fit. You can read Cummming's comments about talking the job at Halls and deduce as much

Yep.  For whatever reasons, it just didn't work from either side there.  

I like Scott a lot.  He's a good football coach, and was always a great interview because he said what he was thinking, which sometimes got him in trouble, but I loved his honesty.

There's a lot of factors that went into what happened at Cleveland.  No need to speculate on what happened.  Only people that really understand what was going on were there, first hand.  I would agree with MTF, sum it all up with "not a good fit".

When he was at Cleveland, he was competing in 6A region with Maryville. Not that 5A isn't tough in East TN, but Oak Ridge is a more realistic place to run the table than Cleveland having to play Maryville every year in Region and again in 2nd/3rd Round. I think he could be a great fit.

OR is the biggest 5A school, so good chance they end up being 6A in a few years. Can't face Maryville in the playoffs when you go 0/3. I think Cummings could be a good hire, but like SS, his time at Cleveland makes me think there are better, realistic candidates out there

      So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.

      I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
