I don’t even know if he can save Heritage but good luck

wonder how you put together a staff... I mean that genuinely. blount county schools aren't paying teachers excessively and coaching supplements are not even raising an eyebrow. i'm not so sure there are other former college assistants, let alone other high school coaches wanting to take large pay cuts (among other issues) to try to help this program. i hope for the players that i'm wrong. 

this will be interesting to watch. honestly, i just wish the best for the student athletes at heritage.

I do realize your biggest concern is that everyone says he'll leave after the first year. If it will help you any I used to date a very nice looking woman that was a crazy bi polar nut case and everyone would say she'll leave after she runs through your money in about a year. Well they were all wrong, it was four years so don't let others force their opinions on you.

honestly, I really hope everything turns around for everybody in the county schools. I was concerned for whoever took this position. it's deeper than the actual coach. 

like you said, emergency CPR... I guess we'll see what happens.

Hiring a staff has and will continue to be an issue. Coaches who teach can make more at any other school district in the area. Non faculty coaches also have better options. They might get two or three coaches back from last season so there’s a lot of work to be done.

That's what happens when you elect  a fireman to come in and run the county and rob one department that's making money and giving to another that don't. Saw his picture on the front page of the Daily Fish Wrap a few weeks ago in the new Heritage Football locker room. I believe that was the night I had that dream a new coach came in and turned Heritage around and won the state and there he was on the front page again holding the trophy with the new coach with the team in the background.

It was interesting that the photo of him in the new field house had no coaches in it.  Just a bunch of his buddies patting themselves on the back for having one of their friends build an over budget, undersized, poorly planned facility years after it should have been done.

Will the McDonalds bags start showing up in Maryville?

I was in the state of shock when he missed the photo at William Blount science wing that was in the paper. All I could think was how did he do that.

Only if Jeremy Pruitt is brought in to be the defensive coordinator.

When he came to Tennessee there were college football folks who spoke very highly of this guys knowledge and abilities. It’ll be interesting how he fares at the high school level.
