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.

    • 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.
    • 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...
