Sure, hire him as an assistant. But why hire him as the HS head coach? What has he done on the high school level to earn a job like Blackman to compete against Oakland? Come on now. Pierce is a good person and really good middle school coach. But 6A football is a huge jump.

It's high school football, not the NFL.   I've seen much less qualified people get head coaching jobs.   Chandler Tygard coached at Jackson Northside (which is basically a dead program) and got the Blackman job.  It's not like he has some long pedigreed resume, and then left for Cleveland.  People that act like 6A football is some big jump that people just can't handle is such a an excuse.    You have to keep the talent at Blackman to beat Oakland.....Nobody would be more invested than Jay.

Has a middle school coach ever been hired straight to high school? I don’t know the guy, just curious

He was a student volunteer coach at UT.. until he landed a job there as an analyst  which he did under Fulmer Kiffin and Dooley, he also was on the coaching staff with Ed Orgeron before coaching Knox Catholic, Ravenwood, and a handful of places before North Jackson. So about 18 years coaching I wouldn't say he is exactly new to the game . The jump from 3a to 5a 6a... may not be a huge deal, but Middle School to High school is a little different story ..

Right, it's high school football not the NFL, and not middle school either. We can agree to disagree. If it were a small school it's probably not as big of a jump. But Blackman is not a small school. 

If I'm not mistaken Hughes from Fairview made that jump and has done well in 3A. He's the only one I can think of.

A good MS HC is pretty valuable to the building of a program, I think you you weaken the program as a whole if he moves up as just an assistant. Better comparison would probably be 1A/2A to 6A, if you can be successful coaching in the lower classes then you probably can in 6A

I agree. MS head coach running the high school system really helps build the program.

      So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.

      I know the RB from OR he’s fast and has good hands. Is good on special teams also. Didn’t want to play defense over to the Ridge.
