George Quarles leaving Maryville to be OC at Furman

Very interesting.

At some point, he had to move on. If he's good he won't be there long.

Does he have a kid at Furman? --or used to go there, and he's familiar with the area. Or a senior in HS.

This is impressive. 240-9? That's so ridiculous it sounds made up.

Considering he was only 10-7 in his first 17 games after taking over the Maryville program in 1999, the 240-9 record (.964) since is even more impressive.

That article refers to Maryville as a hamlet - which is just a small settlement, usually even smaller than a village. Maybe I'm just nitpicking here but that's not an accurate description of that town and a Tennessee 247 writer should know better. It has a population of 28,000. A hamlet would more accurately describe Gatlinburg.

Anyway, good luck to Coach Quarles. I'm sure this won't be his last step up in the coaching profession.

The "journalists" on 247 are atrocious. They are about on par with those Bleacher Report blog writers.

No sir. I played at BA in the late 80's for Flatt. That's a coach who took on all comers from all over the state. We went to Pascagoula Mississippi to take on the 6A powerhouse in 1988 and won. Played Alabama and Kentucky schools to fill the schedule. We played anyone who wanted some. I don't think Maryville even played the best in the state. I would love to see Maryville play BA, MBA and other schools they play like Louisville Trinity. Even Oakland, Ravenwood, White Haven in the regular season. 10 wins go to 8 just like that.

Amen!!! Of course you criticized the great GQ, so prepare for wrath. Certainly, his record is impressive, but he fell into an ideal situation, much like Rankin at Alcoa.

Alcoa schedules 5A and 6A teams regularly. I've never seen Quarrles go out of his way to schedule one of those out of state games.
