I have no idea. I heard from a Peabody Fan at the games this year that he was active on here.

Lee Hayes was a true character.  I have gotten to know him the last few years since McKenzie and Peabody had renewed the series. My two kids and Lees kids, specifically Mary Grace, attend church camp together and CPYC.  Lee and I would always chat during football season and we had a mutual respect for one another.  Never once did we let the game get bigger than us.  We always kept it civil. Ben’s senior year, when the tide and the Rebels went to double overtime, near the end of the 4th quarter when it looked as though the Rebels were going to win, Lee came out of the middle of the pressbox.  As he passed myself and my radio partner, I could see not the face of a football fan but the face of a Dad who was watching his son play his last game.  Well, we all know how that ended.  But from what I know of Lee, he loved his kids and Golden Tide football.  I will miss our banter moving forward.  When the Rebels went to Chatt this past season, Lee Hayes sent me a message and said Go Rebels.  Bring it home. We will miss you Lee Hayes and you better believe when the Tide and Rebels bump heads next year, I will make sure there is a huge shout out for you.  As a hard core Vol fan, it is hard for me to say “Roll Tide” but for you Lee, I say it. 
 Rest easy friend.

Great post. He was a good guy for sure. Folks like Lee Hayes are a lot the reason Gold Balls are won. Behind the scenes great alumni and boosters help pave the way. He will be missed for sure. He Loved the Golden Tide like I do the Lady Pioneers. Prayers to Peabody and his family. Very sad day.

You know the feeling I have every day having been blessed to have been involved with a family member winning a Gold Ball. Rewatching videos when the clock  hits zero, rewatching the starting lineups in the final game all makes tears every time. So glad Lee got to see his son win three Gold Balls. I know his passion for the game and I thank the good Lord every day I got to win one and I thank the good Lord he got to experience 3 with his son. I know he was so proud and I know the every day high he got to experience.

      Track has always been big at OR. Ran off about 7 straight titles in the 60s. Your hate for Gaddis runs deep, huh? What did he ever do to you, to make you disdain him that much? You can’t seem to stop talking about the guy. He’s living rent free in your head. Might wanna get that checked out. Not good to go to the grave with that in your heart.

      This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…

      Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA.

      It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team.
