Grace couldn't compete in 1A against the likes of Coalfield, Greenback, Harriman, Oliver Springs, South Pitt, Gordonsville, etc. They just do not have very good athlete's in anything other than basketball. 

maybe now...but that wernt the case a few year ago

Booger just sayin

could be Quarrels? I know he’s a good man could be interested in getting back to high school but in private

I've heard rumors that Brentwood Academy was going to try and hire Coach Quarrels.  I think he will stay in the college ranks.

Grace faithful, who do you think are legit contenders for this job? Is there an in house guy? Someone who is a former Grace guy?

ive also seen the same here on the message boards. You just never know with these privates even though its a longshot. they seem to always have more flexibility and it depends on how willing they are to be good.

I know this is a Grace Christian post but mindful that some Knoxville people may be following it, what is Knoxville Catholic doing with their coaching situation? Weren't they the ones who needed a quick fix over the summer and went with co-coaches?

Matthews was always going to the coach it just happened sooner than later.

One things for sure, it will be a man with high character, just like Long was/is. Looking at the recent athletic hires, they've all been home runs. The AD/Boys BBall coach, the girls BBall coaches, the baseball coach, ALL are top notch and will have those programs winning and competing for championships. I'm sure they will find the right person to bring the football program back, as well.

I am sure Grace wants nothing to do with co-anything from Catholic. They better go get Rusty back.

Rusty was let go. I highly doubt that would be the direction they take.

He has told me he has interest in possibly coaching again. He did not mention anywhere specific. I doubt he would repeat the GCA experience. A lot of memories and emotions there for him. 

I’d pull my kids in a minute. You’d call dirty coach over Rusty? Good luck with that

I just read the first problem with this and know why Grace has been bad. The AD is a basketball coach and friends he’s going get his dudes…. Can’t have a guy like that running a very competitive for players west Knox school. Slow, tough kids aren’t going to cut it!  Gotta be able to tackle, run, pass the ball without the qb on his back every play. 
I would call J Lowery who would do an amazing job and could whip your softball team in shape also!
