I have heard Rice has been trying to leave Rockvale the last couple of years. Is there something with the administration or what?

No inside info, but Rice at Rockvale has always felt like a weird fit. He's a small town guy to the bone and Rockvale is one of the fastest growing areas in the state. If they don't hire internally, there should be some good candidates that apply for this job

“It was a hard decision. I didn’t want to make it. But it’s got all to do with family,” said Rice, whose middle son, Austin, was injured in a car accident in October 2019 and is still undergoing physical therapy to regain the use of his limbs. Austin currently resides in Columbia, while Rice has a granddaughter in nearby Ethridge.

I read an article where admin said they are hopeful to find someone to work with the existing staff. Still say they hire from within unless they can make a homerun hire and keep everyone intact. 

Curious to read this article. What was it in? 

 

Never mind - found it

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
