Nothing.  Only thing I know is they have interviewed only a handful of coaches and one of them was a current coach/teacher apparently at the school already.  I was told he has almost no experience coaching though but I can't confirm that.  Another I was told was from somewhere else and he has many years experience but I don't know anything about him other than that.

I heard the coach that applied there has had 4 years of high school varsity experience. 1 being at Oakdale, 2 at Stone Memorial, a 4A team that’s won the region 2 times in the last 5 years and this past year at the school.

Well there is also a coach that has 16 years experience and 3 state titles.  He applied for Greenback too which is how I know.

I have yet to get his name.  I know he is from Knoxville.  This information comes from someone within the school.

I’m sure if someone with those credentials wanted the Sunbright job the hire would have been done weeks ago instead of no coach being in place one month before spring ball

Apparently he was told that the teaching spot they would want him is isn't vacant as of yet but is supposed to be.  He coached at Fulton I'm told and I think Anderson County?  I could be wrong about Anderson County.  But he has 16 years experience as an assistant and the 3 championships was at Fulton I would have to guess.

 If this were true and I'm not saying it's not why the dog and pony show ?  Seems like a slam dunk unless it's not.... You can make the announcement the public doesn't need to know the teaching position.

Well if they don't know if a person is or isn't leaving and that might be the only placement they can put a coach then they can't offer a coaching job and expect him to take in on a notion they "hope" it's open for him.  They hire the classroom or job first over the coaching position unless they know they are not giving a teaching position.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
