L.C. Coach Resigns

[TennDirt]

David Wagner of Lenoir City High School has resigned his position as Head Football Coach to accept a position in Georgia. It looks like Tennessee has lost another fine coach to our lucrative friends to the south.

Tennessee will continue to loose quality coaches and teachers to higher paying states as long as the state doesn't put a priority on education. Even if the lottery goes into effect don't look for the money to be used for public k-12 education. Talk is cheap state officials start putting your money where your mouth is.

Good for David. He is a good guy and real good coach who was very underappreciated at L.C.

captain...i dont know what school u go to but i am sorry u feel that way about ex coach wagner,he was very well respected as a coach because he tried so hard to get us to where we need to be,as for my feelings on him leaving we will not get into that just know that he was respected and although he did step down and did loose some respect,football will go on in lenoir city as it has for ages

[captain]

I know the people close to the problem and the players understand Wagner's committment and dedication. I was referring the many of the fans and other members of the community who did not give him the respect and loyalty he deserved. Again, he is a great guy and great coach who will be very hard to replace.

Yes, he is a great coach, but he isnt just that, he is also a friend. He is a guy that you would like to have around in whatever sport or activity that you might be in. I have known Coach Wagner for many years and I will miss him greatly. This isnt just the loss of a coach, but that of a dear friend. Coach if you read this you should no that no matter where you go you will always be my Coach. You have taught me more than just things about football, but you have taught me some of lifes lessons. I learned from you that we should keep on trying no matter how bad it is or how bad its been. And we will remember this while we are going through this hard and difficult time. Thanks for all you've done for us Coach.

Congrats Coach Wagner!! Good Luck in Georgia. Yes, TN does lose another quality young coach to Georgia.

[captain]

Smashmouth - great post...i'm glad to see a coach teaching a player more than football. it happens everyday, but it doesn't always get recognized.

Will the administration open the job up or will it be filled by an assistant already at LC?
