South Pittsburg Coaching


Recommended Posts

I want to start off by saying, I'm a dedicated supporter of this program, and I have been for years. But, I have some questions and concerns, and I'm looking for some feedback. This is not a bashing session, but I want some honest educated feedback. I understand we are down on talent, but it just doesn't seem right to me to take what little fighting chance you have, out of the boys hands, over questionable coaching calls.

 

1. Why are we still having delay of game penalties?

 

2. Why are we taking time outs, then when we come out we run a running play?

 

3. Why are we running the ball on 3rd and 15?? Why?? Please explain this to me.

 

4. Why are we not rotating bodies in and out of the game to give the starters just a little bit of a break during the game? I mean it accomplishes a few things by doing this. One you give the players a much needed break, plus you prepare your next up and coming starters a little playing time, and they aren't still lost come time next year when they may have to step in and play.

 

5.Why are not playing some of the other players?  Put them in on kick off returns or punt returns. It gives the starters a much needed break which at this point to me is more important than watching them stand on the sideline.  Come on coaches, lets play fair pool, if you are  going to play hardball.

 

6. Why are we running plays that take to long to develop? I mean if your facing a team that is bigger than you, you have to run plays that get the ball moving faster..period. You don't have time against a bigger school to be doing fake handoffs, or slow walking up to the line. The calls need to be ready, sent in quicker, and keep your opponent on their heels....

 

I know I have covered a lot, but I would like some explanations. I mean what so I know, I'm just a fan right??? I couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about..

5.Why are not playing some of the other players?  Either way, at this point does that really matter? Put them in on kick off returns or punt returns. It gives the starters a much needed break which at this point to me is more important than watching them stand on the sideline. Plus it just might give them the motivation to learn the plays or come to practice? Come on coaches, lets play fair pool, if you are going to play hardball.

You Not Allowed To Name Players Or Coaches By Name Or Number...Please Read The Rules..

I've looked and can't find the rules, but I know I have seen them before.  Maybe you or CoachT and re-post them in a prominent location.

 

I agree that comments about players should remain positive, but I think it should be okay to dog coaches.  They're big boys and are used to it.  JMO

There's just no way to adequately answer this question without pointing fingers, so I won't attempt.  The simple generic answer is that for the first time in several years we don't have any potential Division I athletes.  Quite frankly, at best we have Jr. College prospects.  And that's OK.  I'm not complaining.  It's just that we've been spoiled with great athletes, and now we have to dance with who we brought. Division I and II quality athletes can carry a 1A team far beyond it's normal capabilities, and when they're gone you just have to make do.  We're still a great 1A team and I don't blame any of the boys.  Like you, though, I do question some of the coaching.  But that's a staple from pee wee to the pros.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
