Timing is everything, had Black announced at the end of the year is Jones at Fulton and not Bearden

In a word, no. The way I understand it there is no love lost between the Fulton Family and Jones. Besides that I think Jones found his niche out west and Fulton will find theirs. Bearden needs a general manager. Fulton needs a community leader. All due respect to both schools.

That's fair, I'm sure Jones was able to tap into the area and it didn't sit well by moving kids to Emory Rd.

He said he rather stay at Fulton but if something opens in the county & he is offered he would think on it

Wow, this is interesting.  Yesterday, I was joking when I said Black to South Doyle but if he really stated he would think on it maybe my joking could be reliable.  However, I think Coach Black is done and looking to care for his dad.

Black isn't leaving Fulton.  He was named the co-AD and if Knox County adopts the model they have been testing in some schools and relieve the assistant principals of the AD duties so they can just be APs, and have a non principal level AD, then Rob likely gets that slot.

    • 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.
    • 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...
