Continuity and Knox Catholic do not seem to be two words that can ever be used together

If it was up to the judge l think you are talking about, he actually was against hiring Mathews the first time around. He wanted Knox Catholic to hire Mark Pemberton again. He said Pemberton was hard to get along with but he thought Pemberton was a hard nosed physical football coach. The judge thought that was the kind of Coach Knox Catholic needed.

Pemberton’s style wouldn’t have attracted the talent Matthews brought in during Catholic’s state title runs.

Knox Catholic has the worst leadership of any school in this division. They will never have the financial resources as the other DII AAA schools; however, they can’t get out of their own way. The leadership has had MULTIPLE coaches in almost every sport in the past three years. From what I heard Matthews got tired of the horrible leadership here. The hiring of shadowers is further proof of this. Football team will not recover from this latest blunder.

So Shadowens style will attract this talent? Plus the state title runs were recruited players playing in the public division. Mathews never recruited enough talent to win a state championship in the private division you all should have been playing in. You all at Knoxville Catholic can't compete for a state championship in the division your playing in now.

Didn't Catholic make the semis this year? Asking for a friend...

Kinda related. I think Knox County public schools being so good at football right now is making it more difficult on all the private schools because so many kids are playing in Knox Co.

Some truth to this. Some of it is coaching though.

Looks like Knox Catholic has been rolling out the NIL money with all of these collegiate level announcements of continuing the academic and athletic career for multiple athletes.  Everybody is chasing the worldwide recruiting machine at McCallie. To have any rule about recruiting in this day and age is way behind the times.  The movement is, whatever is in the best interest of the athlete and family, goes.

Kids leaving Bearden and every good 8th grade athlete leaving Farragut to go to Catholic. Twins from Northview are very good. Got a couple athletes from Alcoa. Twitter was blowing up Sunday.
