Nope, he's gonna be back. My nephew's son starts for Harriman and Harriman's QB will be Clinton"s QB in 2024. He told me it's a done deal. That tells me Coach Keith ain't leaving Clinton.

Dear TSSAA,

This is controversial to say, but, IMO, Thackerson should have started his JR and SR seasons. I know that will make some upset, I am not the only fan who thinks that.

I agree with you. I believe if Thackerson had started that game against Chattanooga Central, we would've won that game for sure.

Good, I hope he gets a life time contract at Clinton.  They will really struggle next year without the basement boys.  They lose the following sr. starters. Skill players:  J Graham, J Hundley, J kieth, W. Phillips, D Marable, J Goins, C Felts, L Pendergrass. OL/DL starters: R Seviers, P. Searle, G Lee, D Ortiz, E. Page.  My point is that there ain't much left.  If he stays, it's gonna be a very difficult rebuild.  This years team was loaded.

Marable (sp?) is a huge loss. Stud defender.

The reality for them is when you lose all those dudes at once, you got little to nothing left.  Plus, the kids that will be called on to play have little to no experience as they have been standing around watching these guys play for the last 2-4 years in some cases.  And the fact that they don't play a real freshmen or jv schedule, because they cancel every time they lose on Fri. nite. Gonna be a long year for whoever is the head coach next year.

I wouldn't rule Keith out as the coach next year

If I were him, I would rule myself out.  They are really going to struggle next year, I don't care who the coach is.

You're assuming his ability to recruit was a one year phenomenon. Say what you will about him, but the man can recruit. The OR recruits didn't help him at all, but the recruits from Knoxville and Alcoa did a lot. He can do the same for years to come, if that's what he chooses to do. The win over OR will help him recruit even better, and reaching the third round won't hurt one bit

If the above is true, I had no idea that many families would pack up and move so their son could play football for Clinton or any other program. Getting old I guess.

It's the whole transfer portal thing. It's ridiculous but true

[atrisk]

Just amazing that parents would packup a house, possibly move multiple children, drive back and forth to work,ect.,ect. So that a kid could a sport for two or maybe just one year. Then what?
