Being a complete outsider I am going to say that you are correct about Masters.  However, I am going to say that the Board of Trust has allowed Masters to do all of this over the years and due to that fact you need a completely new Board of Trust.  That board should be filled with BA alumni and no one with children or grandchildren should be allowed to serve on the board.

Your last sentence could solve a lot of problems at a lot of places.

All of what you are saying was preventable. The arrogance of Masters and Mathews to not seek input on the new coaching hire has backfired. They refused to listen to former players, alumni, parents, and community members and they hired a cocky inexperienced assistant coach who they could control. 

This hire proves that just because you played in the NFL Does not mean you know how to hire a football coach (just like playing in the NFL does not correlate to head coaching - ask Lipscomb). 
 

BA needs a unifier at the top job, AD, and head football coach  They have zero of that now. It is salvageable but serious decisions need to be made. BA does not have Frists and Ingrams as donors but money is sitting out there.  Believe me when I say that that money will stay on the sideline under the current set up of leadership.  
 

Masters cares about robotics, outdoor chapels , and new parking spaces. The sad thing is that all of those things were possible (and much more) if they just listened. The world has changed in the private school landscape especially in Nashville. They just don’t get it. 

 

 

 

This is spot on.

1 more week of this mess.  What was once a proud tradition is in shambles.

The Jury is still out on whether it will be one week or not

They could end up playing a team they've beaten (Christian Bros) and then a team they lost to by a touchdown. Hope the players have more confidence than some of you on here.

Whether its 1 week or 2 this is still an embarrassment.  This lies solely on the Headmaster and AD.  There were several highly qualified candidates that were interested in this job that could not even get a call back.  They got the coach they wanted.  No committee or board to blame here.  They got exactly what they wanted.  The football program ins the single largest draw for enrollment of any private school in Nashville.  Not investing in your football program makes no sense and should be grounds for removal.

Not sure what coach white has to do with anything.  He had success at BA and chose to leave.  Clearly you are happy with the results of the program.  I guess that would make you the spouse of the headmaster then based on your thinking?    But hey you are right the Headmaster is doing a great job.  The athletic programs are very stable with little turnover and the coaches there feel supported.  Don't change thing and keep charging 30k a year.

I started the thread as a concerned fan.  It is a mess.  Cody knew it was over and bounced.  Lots of relationships are fractured.   Masters and Mathews clearly botched this deal.   Your post is spot on.
