My buddy coaches at West and said Catlett pulled one of his old tricks. He accepted the DCoord. position and two days later said he was going to Webb then turns out he accepted a teaching position at Powell. Don't really understand why b/c Powell doesn't have any coaching vancancies. Maybe boosters are paying tab? Catlett has developed quite a reputation for leading people in one direction and going another for his own agenda. He should have explored his options but to lead people on is wrong and he's done it more than once. It wouldn't surprise me if he told Webb he'd be their and Powell both to save spots until he decides for sure. I'm sure he is a good Defensive coach but how about some character. Told Carter people he wasn't going to Clinton and went. "Stopped" coaching HIS team in the middle of a season. Just too many examples of character flaws.

I think that msgov's hub is is correct. Copy specialist and former coach Chad Gibson has confirmed that Catlettt has taken the D-Coordinator job at West High School. West has landed a defensive guru. Best of luck to Catlett. I'm sure that the West community will take him in MUCH better than the Clinton commnunity did.

Clinton didn't appreciate the coach they had. My hope is that Coach Shattuck doesn't get the same treatment.

In my high school career the football team won 7 games...That's a four-year record of 7-32. Sounds to me like it's time for a change. If Shattuck wins he'll get good treatment, isn't that how it is everywhere? I hope Catlett does do well, wherever he's going to be at.

There are no slots at Powell. The hiring of Daryle Smith in the off season filled out the staff.

I understand that their are no coaching openings at Powell, thats what I said. I know for a fact that according to human resources for Knox County Schools that Catlett called and accepted a teaching position at Powell. They were even surprised because he had talked with them first about West. Again, it wouldn't surprise me if he has told Webb and Powell he will be their until he makes his final decision. He seems to not mind that others are trying to get their coaches lined up. He has his own agenda and doesn't seem to care if it puts others in a bind. My friend said Coach Cummings at West was pretty upset b/c he had already told two other candidates they needed to move on and wished them the best of luck. He had already talked to the players about their new Def. Coor. Not a very classy move by Catlett. Coach Cummings has West moving in the right direction and would have welcomed Catlett moving on one day to be a head coach again if the chance came. Catlett seems to not care about burning bridges. Coaches talk and Catlett, from what I understand, has put reputation on the line for the worse too many times in the last few years.

Catlett is at webb. he may be teaching somewhere else but he can still coach at webb. Two defensive coaches for webb teach at a different school but coach at webb. Catlett was the d-cord in 1997 at webb where they became state runner-ups. That was when they played BGA in the finals. BGA had a running back named Troy Flemming if uv ever heard of him. Troy flemming rushed for 9,442 yards in high school the second most all time in the nation. The Score was 19-7. Catletts not at bad coach at all. After that he left to coach at carter.

Troy Fleming? Yep, we know him. He certainly does know how to use a cell phone well.

    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.  
    • He was pretty darn good for a freshman, but he will have a hard time seeing the field at Oakland for a good while, I’m afraid.
    • Dang I feel bad for the kid. I’m sure he loves his dad and wants to do anything for his dad but I don’t think he realizes his dad isn’t doing the best for his football career if he keeps jumping schools.
    • I’m not taking shots at the kid, but “athlete” is not something I would use to describe him. He was a long, lengthy, defensive back
    • Mistakes like that should never happen.
