Your point?   

And more times than not "common knowledge" is complete BS. 

Yep, a lot of you spout “facts” or “know an insider.” I don’t know an insider, so I guess I still choose to wait and see.

It's a reference to the time the Bearden AD conductued a search and then hired himself as the coach.

I understand. I thought you were referring to the current Bearden HC. I had tried to forget about that AD who hired himself . Dark days at BHS.

I don't know, some would argue that it's much darker now.

Not shocked you did though...I remember you making all kinds of joke like that in HS

I was implying that the new staff is less burdened by the rules then the old staff.  ( according to some folks)

You know me?

Yeah, I know you....

 

Not to many rockstar ILBs at WHS in 1999 like yourself.... 

 

Who doesn't know you? You averaged like .5 tackles per game. Coach Rogers loved you though

I actually hope "Joe" is the one making the hire, but I doubt that he has that complete authority. The reason I hope that is that despite the fact you and a few others seem to  have no use for him, he does seem to love OR more than anyone else who might be in a position to make this hire. Therefore, I doubt he just recommends hiring a "friend" over a more qualified applicant. BTW...I did approach him at the West game last night, and he didn't answer a single question I asked other than confirming that there are at least 50 applicants. He was however, willing to talk to me as long as I wanted to talk, but he wouldn't directly answer my questions! LOL

I have always liked Joe and just because I dont agree with him dont mean I have no use for him.But everyone around the program had knowledge that Principal Adams wanted and hired Scott.It was also known that Joe and others didnt like the hire.A few parents complained about bad language and Scott was never warned or told he needed to cut it out.He goes to this meeting and is blindsided by all of this and had no idea what was about to happen.Now most ADs would have gave their coach a heads up and as a former coach went to bat for him.Now I dont know every little detail and maybe Scott has left something out.Maybe somehow Joe was blindsided and didnt know what was about to happen.But it dont look good when you have made comments to people though out the yr not backing your HC.I know for Joe its hard when kids you coached have parents that come up and bad mouth the new coach and you like them and try to please everyone.But as a former coach you know how parents are and you cant let them have their way.I just dont think its right for a man to move his family and you dont give him a fair shake.Not to mention how bad Scott wanted this job and was putting in so so much time.I have people all over that school from top to bottom and have not heard anything else besides bad language, attitude and hard to get along with.But if anything else comes out that proves Scott in the wrong I will be the first to say I was wrong.It would make me feel better about the whole thing if there was a valid reason.

Not to mention, why would someone leave HVA. when they have backing, and time to improve, to go to a program where coaches might be released after one year?  These boys have families to care for.  They need stability.

They would run back to Oak Ridge

Sometimes people actually do know folks directly involved and have a little bit of insight to situations.

Or maybe some of those folks are just hypocritical finger pointers who have been doing many of the same things over the years, but are getting beaten at the game right now and don't like it?  

Just saying.
