Everyone knew this is where this hire was going, local news stations said it in their story about Holier Than Thou Eddie retiring. 

The program really needed new energy and someone that is willing to play the game, much like Saban getting out at Alabama. This hire feels more like the easy way out as opposed to the right hire. People respected the previous coach and he could sell on his reputation of being an upstanding coach.

Unfortunately, that all goes out the window when he steps away, even if they keep him around in the background as some have mentioned. His son may try to keep things the same, but doesn't have the years of goodwill built up to sell to incoming players. It is going to be tough for him to succeed with all the private schools circling, waiting to attack. 

It seems now is the time to attack and it seems like they are if what others are saying about them losing incoming Freshmen.

It feels like the principal and AD did a disservice to the program by taking the easy way out instead of getting someone that is qualified to take the program to the next level.  Everything I have seen says Holier Than Thou Eddie retired so someone could bring renewed energy to Fairygut. This hire feels like the status quo will stay intact for as long as the supporters will put up with losing football games.

From my perch at West High,

It would be easier on your part and more satisfying for the rest of us if you would just to have diarrhea on your keyboard. You’re typing into the void about a man who is universally respected by multiple generations and people from all walks of life, and you are who exactly? Someone who posts in an anonymous chat room about high school football? Don’t feel the need to respond to those questions because no one cares about the answers. Regardless if you hate or love Eddie Courtney or that his son was hired to continue the work of that program, all you can ever do is watch as they’re remembered and you’re not.

Farragut Admirals lost a good one in Coach Court I guarantee it. Do you want to bet me? I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

Any kid/parent going from Farragut to HVA is not smart. That place is a dumpster fire

Maybe not west unless they aren’t playing. But I could see the others for sure
