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

    • One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.
    • If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.
    • If y’all lose to Farragut something awful has happened.
    • Get him to Bearden ASAP! Or anywhere, Karns hs is in rough shape, probably not getting out of it anytime soon.
    • I'm not a Powell grad.  I am a Bearden grad.   My son and daughter are Powell grads.   I did radio play by play for Powell, my last year was 2013. I also did radio play by play for South Doyle, and my last gig was at Maryville before I retired.   My oldest grandson plays in the Karns Middle program, so I see more Karns games than I do Powell these days.  I've been to 3 Powell games since 2013.   I don't have any ties to Powell, haven't since 2013.   No "y'all" there.    And the kid you are talking about does have a very good arm, but he's not the QB that Deuce Rogers is.  Rogers is a legit dual threat guy.  The younger kid now at Clinton, or about to be at Clinton, isn't the dual threat that Rogers is.
