So in other words you are saying a coach without head coaching experience that is hungry to become one.  We took that route a couple years ago.

Good hire too.Alumni that's familiar with small town ball.Ryan fit that bill for us.Small town ball is different from other classes as you know.This last fuy had no clue how to coach at a school our size!

I know of two knox area coaches that have applied. I was told both were coordinators and have not been head coaches before.  I'm sure there will be or already is a lot of interest in this job.

How do you know he was the “last guy.” He’s gone you guys should be happy but no sense in continuing to bash him. Sounds like some of the Pirate faithful when Tim Moore left. Y’all might want to play the Frozen song on repeat.

My intent was not to bash him in no means,I was just making a statement that there was over 50 applicants the last time and they hired a guy with minimal experience and a losing record with what experience he had.And YES he was the "Last guy" to have the job.You seem very moved about this situation for some reason.I am one of those type that I like to see teams get better,it makes our side of the state that much tougher come playoff time.a bad fit is a bad fit.We don't have the issues you did with Coach Moore he could actually coach!Some of Your folks were just shell shocked when Grider left on his own and mommies got involved.We knew from the start from this coaches resume it was a big cluster from the beginning.4 trips to Cookeville and they made that hire.Alot of folks were scratching their head not just us.We will always be the team that Unaka won their first playoff game on and it wasn't even competitive!You are right in one instance---Finally time to move on!It is actually nice to talk football related issues tho!

Is this a rebuilding project or is the cupboard pretty stocked up for someone to come in and win right away?

Do you think an old school wing t would sit well at GB? Everyone loves the spread nowadays and throwing the ball around.

That’s what’s wrong with a lot of coaches and programs. They would rather look pretty and modern than coach to their players strengths. If you have the dudes to spread it out and throw, by all means do it. But if you can’t you better be willing to adapt to their skill set. Hope Greenback can get someone good. Their community and kids deserve it.

That was the great thing about Ryan could change everything in very little time.The past 2 years no adjustments at all.

If it works why not?I don't think you can win a championship with it tho.Unless you are stacked like an old Union City team,GCA of old or Oakland.
