Chris Malone

This week’s episode of Mocs on the Mic gives UTC football fans a breakdown from offensive coordinator Joe Pizzo and offensive line coach Chris Malone. Host Chris Goforth takes an in-depth look at the Mocs with two coaches on that side of the ball. UTC returns 21 lettermen and nine starters on offense but loses quarterback Nick Tiano. The battle to take his place is between senior Drayton Arnold and junior Cole Copeland. Arnold was the back up last season after transferring from Old Dominion, while Copeland returns to the team after a one-year hiatus. He made the Southern Conference All-Freshman team in 2017 when he was pressed into service midway through the season due to injuries. Malone has six letter winners and four starters back from last season. Senior Cole Strange is a preseason All-American, while Harrison Moon was granted a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA.

ClassCast Podcast Episode 042 features Joe Pizzo, the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE) 2020 National Educator of the Year, sharing his thoughts about education, progress, project-based learning, classroom dynamics, and much, much more as he begins his remarkable 47th year teaching middle school English in Chester, New Jersey.  Joe talks with host Ryan Tibbens about adjusting to pandemic conditions, supporting young teachers, creating "real world" and project-based opportunities for students, publishing, and more -- including why he hasn't retired yet! Joe is one of the busiest people we've met on the ClassCast Podcast, from winning multiple state and national level awards to serving on professional organizations' boards, from teaching middle school and college to volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America and at his local church. In this wide-ranging, intimate conversation, Joe shares what keeps him motivated, how to connect with students, and even why a comfort note or sincere consolation can help someone through personal tragedy and loss. Given that 50% of teachers leave the profession within five years and that the national average career length is currently around 14 years (and dropping steadily in recent decades), Joe Pizzo offers a refreshing look at what makes teaching great and why great teachers stick around.
