Blount named new Freedom football coach
Posted Mar 9, 2010 by Nick Williams
Updated Mar 9, 2010 at 09:38 AM
Former South Florida defensive lineman and Freedom assistant and offensive/defensive line coach Tchecoy Blount has been named the new head football coach at Freedom, the school announced via email Tuesday morning.
Blount replaces James Harrell, who left after one season to accept the coaching position at Jesuit.
Blount joined Freedom in 2007 when former USF quarterback Marquel Blackwell was hired to coach the program and hired him as an assistant. Blount played with Blackwell at USF.
Freedom finished 7-3 last season and lost to Countryside in the Class 5A quarterfinals.
During his three years as an assistant at Freedom, Blount coached Division I linemen Coril Jospeh, who signed with Charleston Southern, and Carl Saunders, who signed with Jacksonville.

Over and over again…..Bad Decisions!! Freedom athletics is a joke. You could have gotten the ex-Jesuit coach.
Suggest removalWill someone finally look at the AD.

I am going to need Prep Sports to get a life!!! Why didn’t you apply for the job since you got so many suggestions you loser!!! Or maybe you did and didn’t get it! You probably never played football a day in your life and just running your mouth. Do you even have a kid that attends Freedom? If you do PLEASE tranfer your kid. We don’t need a negative person like you in our positive space. Don’t judge people unless you know what you are talking about. Have a great day trying to think of ways to come back at me.

Positive space??? You are talking about Freedom H.S., right? Oh that’s right….Suitcase City “space” direct bus route, I get it now! Cream of the crop!!

Wow Prep Sports you really can think on your feet! It took you a whole 40 minutes to come up with that! You sure are one smart cookie! Keep hating on people since that is the only thing you think you know how to do! With that being said GO PATRIOTS!!!

5 Reasons why this hire makes sense:
Suggest removal1. Blount has been on the staff through the past two coaches, the program is now moving in the right direction so why stir the pot.
2. The players love Blount, he is a dedicated teacher and coach who cares about the kids first and foremost. Kids can sense these things.
3. Leadership and Passion. If you have had the priviledge of seeing him work, you would know exactly what I mean.
4. He has played D1 college football. Since when is it a pre-req to have played in the NFL to coach High School ball?
5. Committment and Dedication. Blount has stuck with the Patriots through tough transitions, this proves that he has both of these traits and is what any program should want in a coach.
Congratulations!
