SXSW 557 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I think he has seen the writing on the wall, Middle Tennessee is becoming a beast for the East Tennessee teams to deal with. I think in the next few years all the football power will be within a one hundred mile circle of Nashvillie. He can't accomplish more in high school than he already has so good luck to him. It won't be long until he is a head coach somewhere in college, probably Furman. GC_Quincy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Rumors in the Knoxville area are of the TSSAA snooping around the program. I heard it Knoxville sports talk radio this morning. Also heard that they have had numerous inquiries about the head coaching position. Bryson Rosser an assistant at the school and Derek Rang of Dresden, a Maryville Alum are the names getting the most traction. Quarles had a 250-16 record and halfway through his second season was 10-7. he coached 17 seasons at the school the Rebels have won 16 straight regional titles, made 15 state title games and won 11 state titles in his 17 years at the program.

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I dont think Quarles was concerned about the quality of play getting better in the Nasheville area. Â He has taken lesser talented teams for years and beat the fire out the competition. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHoss 249 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 The competition in the Middle TN area wasn't why he left, but it's a true statement about the rising talent. The Nashville Metro area is absolutely exploding in terms of growth right now. 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have two nephew's living there one in Franklin the other Murfreesboro and the talent on Friday nights in those two area's is insane! They also put Maryville in a Region 2 which has the Chattanooga area schools they are gonna be doing a lot of traveling. My son's friend who coaches at Maryville College and helps out some at Alcoa texted my son and said Christmas came early for Alcoa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO 316 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 He and the new HC at Furman were roommates at Furman. He didn't step down....he stepped up. The only people mare happy for Geirge are the coaches he beat for many years. 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC_Quincy 582 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I was reading yesterday that instead of OC, he'll most likely be coaching the running backs and he'll also be Assistant Head Coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO 316 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 That's correct GC, but I read that he'd be coaching TE's and be AHC too. I don't know that they've fully decided what position he will coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Maryville has named 27 year-old Derek Hunt as it's new head coach. He had previously served as the QB coach and was the youngest member of a staff he has been one since he was twenty. Maryville said they wanted to look internally for a coach, which they did: There are five other ex-head coaches on Maryville's staff. No outside help was needed I guess!
