There was a time, not too many years ago, when I could tell you the name of the head football coach at any given high school in Tennessee. I didn't even need a reference sheet. All you had to do was throw out the name of a school and I would fire back with the name of that school's head football coach.
Coaches once stayed in place for long periods of time. J. C. Campbell, for example, was the head coach at Hampton for more than 40 years before retiring this past spring. He's still a part time assistant.
