Why would the TSSAA get any better with Mark?  Again, nothing changes as you are replacing one former educator with another former educator and expecting them to operate a multi million dollar business with absolutely “ZERO “ business background.  Just look at the Board of Control and they have zero business background.  Typical bureaucratic operation.  

So who would have been your choice?

I truly don’t know but it would not have been an educator.  As an entrepreneur I would search for someone that had several years of experience in sports business.  Another idea would be to see if there was an individual at one of the more successful state high school athletic associations around the country that was interested.  The idea of continuing to hire from within is the definition of insanity.

I agree with your second option. Not so much the first. Dealing with student athletes and schools is not for everyone. The second option would have been a good idea. Get someone proven to lead high school athletics. Wonder why they didn't try?

POLITICS, GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM, BUREAUCRACY 

Please remember that the people on the Board of Control that do the hiring are also educators

    • 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.
