When I was growing up in the 37742 zip code, they didn't have that rule. We were split pretty evenly between WB/Greenback and we also had those two Maryville tuition football brothers, that lived in the Brady Bunch house.

The press box expansion was done during Meadow's tenure. A lot of people were all pulling in the same direction back then. I hope they make a good hire. 

One of the reasons the press box was enlarged was to get coaches more privacy after Coach Meadow’s dad punched a media member during a game. It wasn’t all perfect and rosy during his tenure…but he did produce one of the best squads we’ve ever had.

From every thing I am hearing, ShadRoach is right about the hire having basically already happened

I'm hearing it's Robert Reeves.

Barney knows the actions and reactions of the powers that are in charge like the back of his hand and would have bet anything the new coach would come off of this staff even after being told on the street by many there is no one on staff capable even by coaches on that staff. Right now it's just hearsay until the baby is delivered possibly today. I do know the middle school only won one game and the name mentioned was the coach and wasn't present during the game they did win. In all fairness he did split time as one of the position coaches on the high school staff which would have been impossible to do by anyone but we all know who the mastermind of that was. I'm not against anyone on staff or being denied their opportunity to possibly turn this mess around but save us the horse and pony show with the applications and misleading everyone who applied to the Good Ole Boy's Club.

He was the head coach at Karns for a while.  

He's a really good person, and most of all he has thick skin which will is what whoever ends up filling that position will need to have.  

[BarneySox2007]

I do know he was at Karns 2007, 2008 and 2009 as head coach which was a real tough time with CAK and GCA in the same neighborhood recruiting his players away. Will be very interesting to watch how this all unfolds but I am glad this guy has been in the roll of being a head coach before if this is their pick. To hand it to someone that hasn't is a learning curve in itself.

I just hope whoever it is brings a corny gimmick like a trashcan or a turnover chain with them. That would be so WB to do something to embarrass ourselves even more when we are already the laughing stock of 6A football in East Tennessee.
