If you wanna Coach @ Clinton, then take your a$& there and teach, too. I don’t get it.

Don’t know, and frankly don’t care. But, the principle of it all is what’s ridiculous. You have 3 guys who played for OR, coached for OR, and went to school @ OR, not to mention 1 having a son that we

Let’s just say it’d be like former Powell players that also coached and went to school there, teaching at Powell, while coaching against them with Halls. I’m sure that would go over like a turd in a f

The noose around the next head coach at Oak Ridge is getting tighter. 

My final answer is Coach Witten from Elizabethton to be named after he wins another State Title this week in Chattanooga.

My source...just my gut feeling. Ain't nobody gonna tell me and say keep it quite.

Witten's family has been in Carter County for generations,  I would be very surprised if he would leave all his family and move over 100 miles away just to coach 1 level up......   Meaning he is 4A now and OR is 5A.    Plus it's not like Elizabethton is dropping off, they certainly have a shot at the title next year and even afterwards.   But as they say:      one never knows, do one..?

I don’t see it either, but I’m guessing OR would be a pretty significant pay hike for him, even if it is only 1 class up. And when someone has a family, like I’m sure he does, that always comes into play. As I said on the other thread, he applied in 2012 when Scott Blade left OR, but of course that was before he started having all the great success he has enjoyed the past 2-3 years. I’ve gotten to the point where I take most things with a grain of salt in the sports world, especially when $$$ is involved, because my personal speculations on things are more times wrong than not. Guess we’ll see.

Elizabethton may pay their teachers more than OR for all I know though, so I may be wrong about that. I’m too lazy to look it up.

Witten's grandfather coached for years @ Elizabethton, and in 2012 his kids were a lot younger so I don't know man, he might do it but I would still be surprised.    His roots are pretty deep up in this area

This probably has nothing to do with anything but somebody said ORHS would be 6A in a year. Would that entice or chase away some coaches?

Just another thought...would OR look at Private School Head Coaches? It seems Middle Tennessee has some former pro players as head coaches. McCallie's head coach is a proven winner. Just thinking out loud.

Santa should still be in the running.

Probably a long shot after his unfortunate ordeal @ Catholic, but what about Steve Matthews, former Catholic Coach? I doubt he would be in consideration for the job after what took place when he was Coach there, but keep in mind, him and Gaddis are really close, and JG coached him when he was at Tullahoma. Just throwing it out there.

Most all of the TSSAA D2AAA coaches make in excess of $150,00 per season.  Would Oak Ridge pay that kind of money and then allow the coach to bring in his own coaching staff?  Most of the D2 coaches are allowed to hire and fire their staff as they see fit.  The perfect D2 coach for OR may be Paul Wade at Donelson Christian Academy.  He has won at Davidson Academy, was an assistant to Ricky Bowers at Ensworth and is now winning as the DCA head coach.  I would be shocked if DCA is paying Paul anywhere close to $150,000

      From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.

      Head Coaching Jobs in West TN

      By warmachine7954 · Posted

      Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less.

      This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
