Everyone in Knoxville better be glad Coach Rosser left. Because if he hadn’t, we’d still be competing to go to State every year and maybe have another ring since then. He was on the verge of something very special, and no other coach around here including the “Recruiters” could do anything ab it. I miss him dearly, but I understand why he had to go.

I hate playing the "what if" game. Rosser was special, and I don't doubt that they'd still be a force, but you're also assuming that something else wouldn't have drawn him away from Central. It's impossible to know if he would still be the coach in 2023.

That being said, look at the average tenure for HS football coaches in places like Knox County, especially for younger coaches. With the exception of the lone long tenured coach in KCS (i.e., Eddie Courtney), they just don't stick around like they once did. Same thing is true for teachers, even the really good ones. The headache to dollar ratio is a huge part of that. Why wouldn't a young, successful coach try to parlay that into a better and/or more lucrative opportunity? Rosser would have done that at some point because almost anyone in that scenario would.

Recruiters. 

Interesting finger to point. 

Some still won't accept reality.

“Ignore” feature……obviously a bunch of crap. Reality is, your a sad human being

Let’s just say I know more ab the situation than most Nut. You’re not wrong, he definitely could have left at a different point in time. But just knowing him like I do and how much he actually loved the community and being there, I feel strongly he’d still be here. But again your not wrong.
