Independence High- Williamson County

Ron has a sure thing in Hillsboro right now. Even if he wanted the Independence job, he couldn't walk away from the talent he has at Hillsboro. This year's team isn't very talented by Hillsboro standards and are one of the best in the state. Their freshmen team is loaded and until the talent starts to thin out, which is unlikely anytime soon, I can't see him leaving.

In a recent meeting, it was made known that the Principal for Independence was to hire from within the system first until February. HOWEVER, in hiring for a Head Coach, such as in football, they could hire outside the system at anytime.

Just a little inside information. Best wishes to whomever recieves this position!

 

:P

Reasons Aydelot might leave Hillsboro/Metro:

 

1) He's in a thankless, ingrateful system/school. They went 28-2 in '01 & '02 and didn't get a "job well done" let alone a bonus. I doubt their 14-1 w/ a state championshup will be much different his year. I realize that's not why people coach, but we all like to be affirmed every now and again.

 

2) He's in an unstable system. With Metro you never know what might happen next. He could walk in today and find out that 3 of his assistants are being relocated to McGavock, but they'll be allowed to remain on the staff at Hillsboro. A lot of good coaches would strongly consider Metro, but there's no way you get to choose a staff, and maybe not even one assistant.

 

3) Hillsboro's talent may be on the way down. I hear their size is running out. Seems they'll always have speed, though.

Has anyone heard who are the final candidates for the Independence High Job?

What is the time frame for hiring the new coach?  Who are the front runners?

I don't know if this is true and it could be just a rumor, but someone told me a coach from Page might be going to the new school.

ELA,

How could you leave us hanging like that? What coach from Page is going to I-High? It is already known that Palmer has applied for the head coaching position. Are you insinuating that someone else from the coaching staff is going to I-high?

 

:D

I don't know who has applied at either place, I'm just like you guys, I hear rumors from other coaches and people on staff. My guess is Coach Palmer will get whatever job he wants in the county!

ELA, do you think that the Independence coach will come only from the County school system....have you heard of any outsiders that have a shot?

I know of several people who applied for the position but I don't know if any of them got an interview. I know of AT LEAST ONE PERSON who got a call about the position and was invited to apply but hasn't got an interview as of yet!

    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
    • If Heritage moves down and Alcoa moves up the best thing for Heritage is to do what William Blount did when theystopped playing Maryville or meet certain defeat. Honestly can't see Alcoa not moving up the way the county is growing. Might be in the Mountaineers best interest to stay in 5A because none of those teams on their schedule are anything close to Alcoa.
    • I say over as well. Barney, regarding the move to 4A, will the cross-town blowhards move up as well??
