Maryville has had 2 Legendary Head Coaches.

 

Everyone knows about George Quarles. He is a great coach and great man. His assistants are good men also. Watching a documentry on ESPN about Rush Probst makes me appreciate George Quarles even more. George has a ton of Character. Probst has none. I know a lot of people may not know who Probst is. He was the former head coach at Hoover in Alabama. His team was on 2 a days show on MTV.

 

The other Maryville legend is Ted Wilson. Man was a master motivator. He was great with kids. He had a great staff around him. Don Story is to defense what GQ is to offense.

 I agree with MHS , this is a very nice List .... I guess you'd have to Include Ricky Bowers here too .

What makes a legendary coach...character, motivational skills, football smarts, and time...probably in that order. The obvious one left off all your lists...Jim Stowe...the man kept "coaching" long after his retirement. Many young men in Lexington are much better human beings for having known him, plenty of those after his coaching career ended.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
