It's long been speculated that Tom is not coaching long-term mainly due to his family. It seems like every season there is speculation as to his future.

 

Will this be the season that Tom hangs them up?

I would not be surprised; we will see what happens though.

Last two weeks can't help his cause??

Tom is a great guy but it really is time for a change at Dixie.

I agree. His time has come and gone at Dixie.

I believe without a doubt that this is Tom's last season. It is time and it is best for him, his family and friends. He takes the brunt for anything that goes wrong at Dixie, maybe some of it is deserved, but not all.

If the change is made, then they need to clean house acrossed the board and start fresh, except coach Vaughn.

Going to be alot of talk on this subject for the next few months.

Having not seen Dixie play much over the past five years it is hard to see what Dixie should be doing year in and year out. Is it consensus that they are perennial underachievers or are the expectations greater than the talent level????

I would say that it is probably balanced between both.

A..

When's the last time a coach fired themselves?

This seasons is definitely a let down for the team. Just like SK both teams should each year probably have at least 7-8 wins. The expectations may be higher than some schools but within reason.

Man, I can only imagine what Coach S thinks when he reads this thread. Coaching is a tough business. I feel for the guy.

Are you saying that SK "should" have 7-8 wins this season? I hope that's not what you meant. Great coaches have always had great players. Any coach is only as good as his talent on the field. Marksberry had some great players come through his system in Simpson and Lawrence. Everyone should know that these type of guys don't come along every year. Let Spritzky and Marksberry coach HHS and/or Trinity and you all would vote them as coach of the year. It is what it is.
