Toppper fans, don't be offended by this statement because I am just stating something I have observed year to year:        For the level of talent that is generally on the field at SH the Toppers always underachieve.    I don't know exactly, it's almost like they just can't focus all that talent together.   Not sure if everybody is just doing their own thing, not listening to the coaches, etc.        If you guys disagree or maybe I am not seeing something right feel free to chime in.

I am not convinced that SH plays a tough enough regular season schedule.  Team speed kills and SH has not ever shown that they have enough team speed to win a state championship.

You could be right, it just seems to me that if the Toppers could ever play together as one cohesive unit they would be a force to be reckoned with.

I understand that it would be a long trip but SH should really schedule one of the top teams from Middle Tennessee early every season.  It would show not only how good of a team SH has but it would also show what they need to improve on to compete for a state title.

They don't have to go to Middle Tennessee for that. There's Maryville and Alcoa in East Tn. or even Elizabethton and Greeneville right in their own backyard. Other than the past couple of years with Oakland you can't do much better than those four teams I mentioned.

Their non-conference is Elizabethton, Powell, Maryville, and Daniel Boone. Not too shabby of a schedule.

While they are private schools you have multiple ones in the Nashville area that are strong and always searching for games.

I 100% agree. The speed argument shouldn't be an issue because they have successful track and field and basketball programs. I have always found them to be soft. With the talent there, they should be a powerhouse. SH and DB always disappoint.

I think SH underachieves way more that DB.   But in the end neither of them will ever get past Maryville in round 3 so maybe it's a moot point.

      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.

      Head Coaching Jobs in West TN

      By warmachine7954 · Posted

      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...
