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.

      Where does DCA go?

      Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA.

      It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team.
