If you would have told me Jackson would still be at Oakland in 2022 I'd have taken it so yes I believe the rumors. Personally I believe Gordonsville is a step down, but I understand bc GHS is home for him. Just means he'll have some on the job training for when we inevitably have to replace Creasy

Personally, I think he may be doing it for some HC experience. What better place to get that experience than home? I could be wrong, but if it is Jackson, I don't see it being long term. I'm fine with that.

Plus, he'll look really good with what we have coming back next year.

Croz tell this Jackson man to tell his boys not spit on that stone man and little grider mans goalpost.  That made our boys real mad.  You think im joking but im not.

Don't think Gordonsville would have much of a chance if it wasn't home. I'll be interested to see what kind of offense he runs at GHS. Last person that left Oakland for Gordonsville got them a title. Hopefully, Jackson can do the same before Oakland wants him back when Creasy leaves for greener pastures

Off topic, and if you’re not comfortable answering this I’ll completely understand. But I’ve always heard that Rutherford Co. doesn’t pay all that well, in light of the success they have enjoyed?

I guess it depends who your comparing it to. I do think RuCo could pay their teachers more, but they do make above the state average and the standard of living is more affordable than Williamson Co, which does have one of the highest pay rates. You can afford to pay your football coaches much better in other southern states because their selling out stadiums the size of small colleges; Oakland can't even consistently sell out a 5,000 seat stadium

Yes I think he’s around 47. Took the Oakland job at 40 I believe.

Not worrying about Creasy retiring. Eventually a private school is gonna come along and make him an offer he can't turn down

You must have counter info, because in speaking to him directly, he seems highly interested in a few college positions locally.  That's not to say he wouldn't take the money, but you seem awfully sure given that I've verbally heard him say moving up and winning on the next level is more important than than getting the bag.

I don't have any info that says different, but his predecessor at Oakland left for a job that doubled what he was making here and didn't have the kind of success Creasy did.

It can be hard to make the jump to college, alot of it is just timing and knowing the right people. I have no doubt that Creasy would be successful at that level. At the end of the day both options represent making an amount much more than what Oakland can pay. Oakland has been incredibly blessed to have 2 really good HC's consecutively like McDaniel and Creasy
