Like I said yesterday, best thing to happen there since Jack Armstrong and Emory Hale. Glad for the fans of Oak Ridge and hope Derek well there as the new coach.

You called it and I have a new respect for you and your sources. I'm totally unfamiliar with Coach Rang except for what I've read, but I hope you're right. RWR!!!

Wow, great get. Big question is obvious pretty though - How long will he stay put?

Can't help but to remember this:

HC Experience

  • Powell (2012)
  • Dresden (2014-16)
  • Gatlinburg Pittman (2017-20)
  • Lewis County (2022)
  • Oak Ridge (2023.....

So is he coach the 'ole ball coach' was waiting on? Off with Cummings and now Rang??

Interesting twist is that Rang was Cummings' DC when they were at West.

Or Joe Gaddis. If it wasn't for Oakland and Riverdale, Gaddis might have as many titles as Hale and his winning % is right there with Armstrong. That said, if Rang stays for a long time, home run hire, but he's never been anywhere more than 4 years.

I know you was dying to find out who it was yesterday and I thought you might have knew sweet science personally so I reach out to him so he could contact you and just tell you but he said he didn't know you. There wasn't a hint in the world I could think of without giving it away. All I wanted was for you guys to know you were in good hands.

    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
