Because that is not how it works in the education hiring process.   
 

Lot of talent rolled through Westview and they never won gold.  
 

Best of luck.  

It's your choice but you might want to go delete all your post about this.

Wes Johnson has resigned as HC of McNairy Central. 

Good man ran off by people who have no clue what they are doing.  Tough job , very little talent and the pay is not close to other districts.  Good luck finding the next coach

Where do you think they go from here? Probably not to attractive of a job for sure. I was really hoping he was gonna be coach for the long term.

It’s very difficult to hire coaches at schools like this. Your best bet is to hire a veteran coach who has retired or is about to retire. Think Larry Kerr at Union Co. a few years back, or the late John Mullinux at Tellico Plains. Of course, the trouble with that is that they likely won’t stay long.

Yes it is.  They might dip into the retired pool from Mississippi but you’re right, won’t stay long and they have gone through a bunch of coaches.  Expectations from the community and the so called experts don’t resemble the talent level that is there

McNairy Central hasn't had any real coaching continuity outside of Coach Lott since the late 90s with Coach Browder in football and Coach Brown in basketball. Revolving door in both sports, and you guys are right, base pay and coaching supplements aren't competitive, and community expectations are unrealistic. Community support and commitment aren't where they need to be either. Plus, a lot of good players are crossing the state line into Mississippi. Adamsville is also in a downturn. Entire county government, central office,  and school board need to be replaced or the downward trend isn't going to stop. Really sad situation.

When's good for you?

Gentleman, There is no need for any of this. Jarod Neal is a fine fellow with a great family. Everyone wishes him the best on his next Coaching venture. The bottom line is the Administration didn't see eye to eye with him and chose to go in a different direction. I completely agree with the move Westview made. I believe this was the very best thing for the kids. It is obvious that QuickStike is family or close friends to Neal and I get your upset but there is no reason to hope the program crashes and burns. He will be better somewhere else, and our program will be better with a new coach moving forward. In my opinion I believe GoChargers was just stating if you're trying to help Neal get a new job, he would advise taking down the comments before he listed some reasons why he was let go. Thats all.

Any word on the Campbell County job? I know they interviewed Brent Hughes, Mike Clooney, and Jake Dawson. Anybody heard anything in this one? 

CC is a step down from Halls. Is Hughes just trying to get more out of his booster club, or is he trying to go to an easier region. I don't know the other coaches.

It was about 1999 when then UT-Martin Chancellor Phillip Conn decided that the football program as a whole would be canceled at UTM due to the massive monetary drag it was on the university that was also in basic default itself. Near zero fan support or community involvement & a guaranteed losing season had became the norm; it was a business decision. A rather unpopular one, & it never came to fruition. (He was basically run out of town & hired at Knoxville) Today, UTM holds a fantastic team, community involvement & a very good overall program. Like it or not, Jason Simpson is the biggest reason for this. Somewhere in the mix, Westview playing home games in that stadium may have helped to save the football program at UTM as they could not build their own & filled that venue with more people on any given Friday night than the Skyhawks would all season put together at that time. It would be foolish beyond belief to think Westview is not a premium place to coach football. Athletes, community support, money, it's all there in piles. Any coach looking to coach at this school is going to have the next Simpson, play games on his fathers field at UTM while being under that microscope & have to balance one heck of  a rabid, political fan base. Westview simply didn't have the size in the trenches this year they are used to playing with. They lost arguably the best LB in their region prior to season & to me, that & more added up to the difference that cost Neal his job.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
