Coach Harris was previously head coach at Shelby County West Middle School.

 

So they’ve gone from a coach who gave everything he had for 20+ years, stuck around after the split and then essentially got run out to a coach who has coached little league and a couple years of middle school and it sounds like no high school experience?
 

Would love to know how he separated himself from other candidates who had much more experience.

Welcome to BGP @footballfanatic1286!

Isn’t this coach tied in heavily to the areas only youth League team? How will this effect Collins down the road ?

He’s a talker for sure. Talks a good game.

He was the OC at Western High School for a year.  Heard through the grapevine that a lot of community members are not happy with this hire and SC has a lot of players questioning if they want to return to the team next year.

What year was he the OC at Western High School and were they any good that year?

Is it the case that there were not many applicants? Or is it that he was already involved in some capacity with Shelby Co football and they wanted to keep the hire close to home??

He was OC last year.  Western went 2-9.  Only wins coming against J-Town and Iroquois.

Don't believe he had any ties to Shelby football except some little league and West middle.  There were about 8-10 applicants.  2 of the current assistants applied but were denied initial interviews.

He was the HC as West and the OC at Western or he used to be the HC at West Middle?
