I would not want the details of an offer to me to be shared on an internet message board, therefore I won't share any info on an offer to someone else. Especially if I weren't directly involved as either the offerer or offeree. I will say this, realizing that different candidates would probably receive different offers, but the numbers I've seen in this thread are off, both on the high end and the low end.

Ben Herron was there from 2011-2017.  He went 48-33 overall, which isn't awful.  13-1 in 2013 and 9-3 in 2015.  Outside of those two years, they were pretty average.   Caine has definitely elevated the program, though.   Having said all that, I don't think he was offered anything either.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but add just a little more context. In the two seasons before Ben took over, they were 1-9 each year and both those wins were over Pickett Co. Rest of the games weren't really that competitive. I think his first spring practice there were 19 players. Within 3 years that number was closer to 100. He certainly laid the foundation and Caine has taken that and consistently made it a top 10 type program. Good luck to the Wave in their search. I'm old enough to remember their years as a standard bearer.

I am pretty sure nobody on this thread knows what the high end is.  The low end would be county salary and coaching stiphen.   I do think saying $150000 is a bit much in reality.  Very very very few public school coaches make above $100k in Tennessee.

Decades ago the head football coach would be given the profit from the football program sales and some were given the profits from the concession stand after each game.  We all know that those revenue streams were tax free and not reported.

Yeah you cannot do that anymore with the state auditors.   You have to report all revenue streams.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
