what say you?

Coach Joe Gaddis - Oak Ridge High School...First year as an AD but has made decisions that positively affect the athletes, coaches and Oak Ridge fans world wide.

Athletes and Coaches.... Coach Gaddis is in a few Hall of Fames and is a State Championship  Coach. Yet, with those accomplishments he has stayed out of coaching the Wildcats. He allows current ORHS Coach Scott Cummings free reign over the program. This has allowed Coach Cummings to build a Football family of his making. Gaddis' hands off approach also makes it easier for the players to know who the Head Coach is.

THE Wildcat Family World Wide...Coach Gaddis has given the Voice of the Wildcats David Clary and Crew the ability to stream all Wildcats games ( baseball, football and basketball ). This means a former ORHS student serving in the Military all over the world can maintane a bit of home. Plus, the elder population who can't attend games can still be a part of Wildcat Universe.

thats just probably to help alleviate the sting when he has to let Joe O go for trying to cook and eat a player when his **** gets hot.

This last part.  Share athletes.  Support for all students,  not just football.  I don't know the guy but he's got my vote.  

GT couldn't give 2 craps about anything other than football.

For football?  Yes. 

For other sports,  not so much.  Especially girls sports.

I was under the assumption that most A.D.'s were glorified bean counters and schedule makers.
