SSHawks12 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Saw they had 31 apply and narrowed down to 6 to interview this week. They will narrow that pool to 3 and have another round of interviews soon after. Interested to see who they hire, that's a TOUGH region to play in.

blazer1set Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 In 2015 Coffee Co came up here to Johnson City to take on Science Hill. What was their QB's name? He was one of the all-time toughest football players I have ever watched. The kid seemed to thrive on contact even though he was just average size. On a run play he thought nothing of plowing into 3 tacklers instead of just going down. I was very impressed and it goes to show that toughness comes in different sized packages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a tough region but a program with the least amount of talent every year and a successful program right down the road. They were able to benefit off of a bad region last season but replicating that will be nothing short of impossible in the RuCo region.

Looks like they will potentially be tied into that region for the long haul too. Whoever gets this job has their work cut out for them. According to the article 4 of the 6 have "Some kind" of head coaching experience. In order to compete with these schools they better have FOOTBALL head coaching experience and multiple years at that hahaha I do not have a dog in the fight, just love high school football across the state, I'm a west TN guy so I appreciate the incite on the program as well.

HC experience isn't gonna matter in this instance. More important to find a coach that can attract talent. Coffee might as well be a C-USA team trying to compete in a P5 conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee might as well be a C-USA team trying to compete in a P5 conference Coffee County has had about 9 head coaches over the last 20 years or so. They were a young team this year, but in a very tough region, it will be difficult to even make the playoffs in the region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are allowing Swallows a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll still be a bottom feeder in either region Edited November 14, 2023 by MidTennFootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
