Sequoyah Football

[Sandman63]

This seems to be a job that is beyond tough....What are yalls thoughts on it?  Who is going to land this "job".  They have never been great, but there was a season or 2 where they actually won a few games not so long ago....

[gobears2]

Probably someone out of state if I had to guess.  Hard to imagine its an attractive job.

They should have more success than they do. I do not understand why they don't. Madisonville/Vonore/Tellico Village areas ought to have some talent around. 

A MAJOR roadblock for Monroe County teams is the terrible pay and politics. No job security and etc. Monroe needs to PAY coaches more, bottom line.  Monroe County is bottom of the barrel in Tennessee salaries. Pay your teachers and coaches and change will come!

Did the coach they just got a few years ago resign or something 

I think thats what happened...not real sure

This is exactly what happens in the long run when you put schools together and break up long time communities in order to save a buck. The same goes with Heritage and William Blount. I can promise you any decent Vonore or Madisonville team from the past could kick the meat off of Sequoyah's tail end. This county should be taxing all the Yankee's coming down buying up lake property TVA stole from our grand parents to pay for good teachers and football coaches, that simple.

Don’t think they will be making a decision anytime soon

If Peels knows what's good for him he would walk away from this job.  He's a good young coach that's moved up quickly, but a place like this could be an early career ender if it's your first head coaching job.

Well if not him and being on staff there already...who will it be?

[Sandman63]

Anyone heard any names at all put in for this?

They should request a move to non region. White County was allowed to do do a couple of years back. Yes they lost to 3-7 2A Tellico but they’d have a better chance With smaller/less successful schools than their current district, with Red Bank and East Hamilton, Chattanooga Central building and East Ridge not likely to have another down year like this season. I’m also guessing Sequoyah may be one of the larger 4A schools, never know if a 5A move might be next.

I’d try and get a schedule like Tellico, Sweetwater, McMinn Central, Howard, Brainerd, Polk, Sale Creek, Lookout Valley. May still be underdogs in some but would be better games and have to go to Chattanooga now anyway.

Whatever happens the answer is not Dustin Peels!! That would be last nail in the coffin for a program that has not won a game in 30 tries. ( that is three years folks)

it is a shame.

I wonder if they have contacted any of the successful programs around about their coach or spoken with their head coach about any assistants he might have that would make good head coaches. The problem with most of these programs is they want to use excuses, not try to find a good coach, not think outside the box and stand behind their hire. Instead it's poor pitiful us... we just can't get the kids, the coach, the money... nope it's you won't work---  most of this is the administration being too lazy, too scared and too satisfied with their job to care about the players, kids or community.
