If football coaches are going to make a move it many times happens in December. This December has been no different.
Eagleville has hired Steve Carson as the Eagles new football coach. Carson comes to Eaglesville from Smyrna where he was the Bulldogs offensive coordinator the past three seasons. He replaces Jason Scharsch, who resigned last month after the Eagles completed a 2-8 season.
Scharsch took the Eaglesville job five years ago. Carson, 39, is taking over as a head coach for the first time.
Bill Price is on the move again. The former Red Bank football star is almost coming back home.
Price left Coffee County in Manchester, Tenn. to accept the post as the first head football coach at Signal Mountain High School. Signal Mountain shadows Red Bank. The new Hamilton County school will have its first class in August 2008.
Price has served as a head coach at Lookout Valley, Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe, Bradley Central, Soddy-Daisy and Hueytown (Ala.).
He had been rumored as the next head coach at Soddy-Daisy.
Murfreesboro Oakland has also named a new football coach. Thomas McDaniel, 29, who led Moore County to a 7-4 mark this season, moves from 1A to 5A to take over at Oakland.
The Oakland Patriots haven't been to the state playoffs since 2003. This season the Patriots were 3-7.
McDaniel was an assistant coach on two of the Murfreesboro Riverdale state championship teams of the past.
Earlier this month Jerry Hayes retired from South Side High in Jackson. Hayes, 57, spent 23 years at South Side. He had a 147-104 record since 1985 and were 11-1 in 2006. In 2000, South Side was 12-2 and lost in the TSSAA state semifinals. In fact, South Side has made it to the state playoffs 10 of the past 11 seasons.
Todd Miller does not figure he will have to go out looking for a football coach. The Middle Tennessee Christian School principal believes the right person will come looking for him following the resignation of Eddie Bassham. The Tennessee Christian football program was started three years ago by Bassham. He resigned earlier this month after a 2-8 record this fall. He was 10-17 in his three seasons as Tennessee Christian.
Dan Bland, 63, was named earlier this month as the head coach at Humbolt. Bland replaces Carey Craig who exited Humbolt to take the head-coaching job at South Side High School. Bland was Craig's offensive coordinator the last two seasons. Bland is from Covington and played football at Mississippi State. He was also drafted by the San Francisco 49ers.
He has a 140-83 career mark. He served as head football coach at Tullahoma, Knoxville Farragut, Jackson Central Merry (1987-1990), Columbia, Milan (1994-95) and Pascagoula, Miss. (2001-2005).
Christ Presbyterian Academy football Coach Jay Mathews reportedly interviewed for the Hoover, Ala. head football job this week. The job at the national power program became open when veteran Rush Propst resigned. Propst was under fire for allegations of grade fixing in the Hoover program and playing an ineligible player.
Mathews has been at CPA for four seasons where he has posted a 30-16 record. CPA was 6-5 this season and lost in the 2A playoffs to Goodpasture in the first round.
Mathews was the offensive coordinator at Briarwood Christian in Alabama from 1991-2003.
James Counce and his son James Jr. have left Division II AA state champion MBA where the father and son combo were assistants. The elder Counce is returning to Dyersburg to take over his old program. His son will serve as his assistant.
Coaching jobs are currently open at Marion County, East Ridge and Sequatchie County.
