I am sure that to be a successful HC in high school you have to have people on your side to back you up, especially assistant coaches. I have heard that some of his assistant coaches didn't really back him up when it came time he needed someone to back him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT...starting Dec, 27 and Dec. 28 the two teams take to the courts again. Let's set their threads on fire like this one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard a few separate sides of the story, both of which come from very reliable sources. What happened to the rest of your post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took it down so as to not ruffle any feathers, being its Christmas time and all. You know how sensitive people are on here if you aren’t conforming exactly to their line of thinking. So I just did away with it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s only a few left in the Knoxville area. They used to be great, but management has really faltered the past 15+ years. Yeah, I was a big fan of LJS back in the day but they dug their own grave with bad management all the way up to the corporate level. In a related note, I’m sure Oak Ridge will find the right guy and land on their feet. But this whole situation is odd, if CSC is going to be allowed to continue to teach then obviously nothing illegal or “immoral” occurred and that of course points back to what many of y’all have said that either parents and or administration just didn’t like him or his style of coaching. I personally don’t know him but I do know folks in Cleveland did not like him as a person or as a coach but what he did this past season at OR especially with all the injuries they had was impressive and will be a hard act to follow.

Good post. WtW Seal of Approval ...it was a great post. The part about giving it my approval is a reference to something Sweet Science said. I hope people don't think of me that way. People probably do but I know I am just a goof down deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounder Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Oh Well let's move on and find a coach with 20 years of winning championships , that can earn and keep the respect of the players and be young enough to relate to them! You know about 35 years old! Oh Yeah and get and keep the "fans" behind him. WILDCAT PRIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillieTheWildcats Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 I had a thought. No, it wasn't my usually thought of Beer and Big Ed's. Coach Gaddis has coached at several high schools that encompass four southern states. In the travels he might have been impressed by several coaches at each stop. At first I thought the Coach would be from Middle or Eastern Tennessee. Now, I think the Coach could come from Mississippi, Alabama, North Caroline or Tennessee. Shoot, they guy or gal could be in California. There is one major problem to my theory. Coach Gaddis is probably not going to pick the new coach on his own. It will probably be a committee.
