This is a huge surprise. Brian Lake has been named the interim coach at JCM. Coach Shutes is one and done. Does anybody have any insight on this? Where will Shutes land?

 

 Never can tell. He was making good money. May not be anything to do with JCM. Never know. I do think his family has had some health issues.

No insight at all, just my opinion and time will tell, but I think he may be ready to hang up his whistle. If so, he has nothing left to prove...great career and well respected.

Good post. I agree. He has helped build USJ into a great program and well respected. He has had a great career. USJ has done a great job reloading year in year out. You play them you know it is going to be a battle.

I read the article and it said family health related issues played a part. Hope it isn't anything serious.

 

I believe his wife has battled cancer and a few strokes, so her health is not great. There were also rumors of some administrative and personnel items that had to be addressed. One post I read on social media stated "retiring" and another stated "resigning", so not sure if we will see him on the sideline anywhere again or soon. Great guy, great coach, definitely a hall of famer

And are all other JMCSS head coaches at other schools offered the same?

Good question. Not sure what South Side Coaching staffs are being offered but gotta think they are being taken care of because if they are not then that is extremely wrong.  Liberty just hired a girls coach so not sure how that changes Coach Starks deal, Madison brought the Hicks family in to coach boys and girls ( not sure what they are doing during the school day ), The new North side combo of Woods and Northcutt seemed to be the best move as far as on the court goes (not sure what they are doing in the school building either). It would be interesting to see the daily schedule of all the head high school coaches in the JMCSD.

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
