They drug their feet so long on the applicant from Rhea County he withdrew his name because the hiring process was such a fiasco. Plus he started getting other calls and Copper Basin wouldn't pull the trigger.

Doesn’t surprise me.. I’ve heard Jon Rectorovic is the top guy. Man this should be interesting. A journeyman, I was hoping we would get someone that had been committed to a place for a while but when the hiring process is so interesting I don’t blame serious people for pulling their names.

I have a good friend who just went through the process with Copper Basin. I will say this, that community is committed to football. There are some people there who are investing a lot in making sure the football program gets on track. The administration are kind and are going to do everything they can to help the next coach. I hope the best for the Cougars in the future.

I hope that’s the case, I know some good and bad within the administration and I do believe some have the best in mind but the others are power hungry.

Nothing to update other than, supposedly the old tellico guy got hired and thirty minutes later came back and decided he didn’t want it. Not sure how much truth there is to that.

Heard he was told he couldn’t use foul language if he wanted to be the coach and he said that he couldn’t coach that way. That’s what has been passed down the grapevine

Heard a hire was made don’t quote me on it but I’m hearing Brett Graves a young gun from Hayesville. If that’s the case I hope he can bring some energy we need in the Basin. 

That was made official today. He coached at Hayesville in middle school for a few years that I know of and then was on the high school staff just a couple of years. Hasn’t been coaching too long and never as a head coach in high school so this one will be interesting. I know the administration is a big problem in the school and the job is very unattractive. A lot of wrong people have been trying to get their hands on things the past few years and still are. The people of Copper Basin on the high horses are a big issue and there are a lot of them. Hopefully Graves brings in the right people to help him but it is slim pickings since all the good help was forced out of the program and still aren’t welcomed back by the beloved trying to control it. No idea if he actually knows anything about football but I know small time 1A ball in Tennessee is very different than a lot of places and especially Hayesville so I hope he at least develops an attitude for the boys.

    • They need more coming than going. Hopefully enough are staying to turn it around and become a place kids want to play for again. Are they stuck in that conundrum from the college game — can’t win without recruiting better and can’t recruit better without winning. Can’t win without better players but can’t keep the good players without winning?  
    • He will be ready by start of the season. Conditioning may be a little slow but hes a tough kid. He will make an impact by the end of the season.
    • So you are looking at one tough stretch for an 18 year old?  Seems you are grasping at straws if you think there is much difference between the two.  By the way Taylor was the best running back in the history of McKenzie and he is in the top 10 in 4 career statistical categories in the state.  If you can tell me Mckenzie had a back like that the last two years that took pressure off Surber I might could agree.  We can agree to disagree
    • 2022 McKenzie team had the most talent they’ve ever had at McKenzie.
    • I overlooked Gibson County. They would be team No. 11 for me. I'm going to edit my list, just behind Livingston Academy (which had four state titles, six runner-up seasons and 20 state appearances).
