sounds like you and coach are tight.  good talk.

Do not know him, but I know football and coaching very well. I have watched many games and can tell who has the most talent on the field

I think the coach should have been able to finish out the season but your statement above is not true.  I've seen better coached teams beat more talented teams a ton, Maryville being a great example over the years

Least talented school in a very talented region. Zoning definitely benefits Centennial over franklin. Franklin competed in every game looking at the box scores. The man deserved to keep his job or at least finish the season.

very very seldom. look at the teams records of franklins opponents They played well at time but not good enough to beat the teams they have played. Summit was the most equal game they played. Summit was in finals for 2 straight years. Did their coach forget how to coach all of a sudden.

He took over a program that made the playoffs in the seasons of 2018-2020, even made the quarterfinals in 2020. Franklin wasn't dominating during that three year stretch. They were only a .500 ish team. With that being said, they made the playoffs.

He must not be a good coach because their offense took the biggest hit. During his tenure, the most amount of points they have scored during a game was 28. 

In 2021, the only scored 14+ points just three games. In 2022, the offense improved, but they only hit 20 points in a game just twice. 

If there is a time to do it, now would be the time to do it. The "interim" has three games against basically two undefeated teams in Ravenwood and Mount Juliet. However, they do have a game against John Overton which is a winnable game. Give this interim three games in a four week stretch to prove what he can do, just hope the players haven't quit and mailed in the season. 

For the administration staff, they can sit there and get a four week head start to look at applicants and may "scout" a little. I hate that it happened, but I don't blame Franklin. Why hold on when you have the time to cut bait now.

Just the fact that he's coached 27 games and scored 25+ points just one game is crazy to think about.

Was he the coach when they switched to Admirals? 

 

Is it possible that Farragut High School put a jinx or hex or mojo on Franklin because Franklin was not an Admiral and David Farragut was THE Admiral? 

 

I'll hang up and listen.

The "interim" is the old head coach. He has nothing to prove.

No HS coach should ever be fired during the season for record. No respect for the principal who did this. From everything that was said coach did not deserve to be treated in such a classless manner. And no, I don't know the coach.
