The real question is why would he leave JP2 for FRA

There were several reasons including a lot more money and his wife is now working at FRA.  He is a really good person that did a great job building the football program to respectability in DI-AAA.

Definitely a good coach and program builder.  I also think it was a great time for him to move on….you have the trio of QB, RB, and WR….but no one returning up front to block.  
 

it will be interesting to see how he does and wish him the best, but he now has FRHS, LA, and BA a stone’s throw away.  That’s a much different situation than PJP2

Jeff Brothers really did a great job of building the program at JP2 and for whatever reason they refused to pay him the market rate.

He is fixing to find out the hard way both how close those as well as CPA are and also how the culture at FRA is not exactly about athletics. Not that it should be.

He's an excellent football coach.  That's a big get for FRA.  Have always been impressed with him.  Kind of fun to watch him coach--he stands alone almost in the end zone, as far down the sideline as he can get to call plays.

One thing about FRA--the school is full of current and former Titans, as well as other NFL players that have moved here.  GM Jon Robinson's kids go there.  I suspect they are looking to build up the athletics there.  I heard the school is now full with a waiting list, and that wasn't the case 10 years ago.  Their leadership has done a good job.

My understanding is there are a few former NFL players looking to join his staff.  I suppose they have kids that play football.

Perhaps the culture at FRA is changing, similar to LA, where they are willing to pay a coach ONLY a boat load of money to build a football program.

I see both sides of “attracting” players on either side of town.  Definitely more competition on your side of town with the aforementioned mentioned schools however there is not nearly population in Sumner County in which to draw.  Plus if CPA and LA eventually move to DII-AAA then Geis only needs to find 1/3 of the players to be competitive as he will not be playing BA, FRHS, Ensworth, MBA, McCallie, Knox Catholic, etc on a weekly basis.

    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
