Shadowens resigns.......

Does all of this have anything to do with the team's discipline and behavior problems over the last couple years?  Was their any kind of 'official' inquiry into the problems they've had.

 

Shadowens has become a very good coach but two things would concern me if I were hiring him.

1,  The discipline issues popped up too often.

2.  The offense has been pretty much just 'offense by broken play' the last couple years.

Gonna be hard for Blackman to get a good coach, considering the circumstances of Shad's resignation.  Who in their right mind would want to work for a principal like that?

 

WOW

You are correct! Does this lady not understand that the coaches throughout the Southeast not only talk but often know each other very well. Some young coach will take the job thinking that he can change or work with this lady and that will ruin his coaching career.

At the high school level the head football coach has a strong influence over the kids but his job is not to monitor the kids 24/7. If the school & team is having discipline problems you may want to look at the type of kids you have and what the PRINCIPAL is doing to lessen those discipline problems. I was told by the late John Merritt that if a player is acting like a fool, you can go to that players home and knock on the front door there is a 99% chance a fool will answer the door. Yes, you probably have parental issues. Edited by cbg

You hit the nail right on the head. But let's not turn this into a parent and kid bashing. As far a we know shad was having the same problems that all coaches have when a woman administrator is involved. I can only imagine what will happen a woman take over the White House.

A couple of "absolute facts"

 

1.) Coaches have egos (*note, it is standard equipment)............some coaches have oversized egos. (*also note, egos can get your panties in a wad)

2.) Administrators stick together............adminstrators wince & cringe when they see their brothers and sisters called out in the newspapers.

 

IMHO..........this is about the dumbest thing a "seemingly smart coach" could ever do..........she will have a line of coaches from here to China apply for that job, and (2) years from now it will be "Phillip who?"

 

NEVER call out a dum..ss boss in public................NEVER!!! It is very similar to calling a 1 yd pass on 2nd down in a Super Bowl with a beast resting behind you...........keep your ego at bay, and your mouth shut.....feed the beast!!

Hope that it works out for your Coach..............it may not!

Pretty sure he didnt call anyone out in public until he was told to resign!  Do some research about where the principal came from.  She has an interesting track record.  Also, Shadowens has been there for 6 years?  no issues prior to this new 1st year principal.  Maybe it isnt just the ole ball coach with an ego?

Rutherford County allowed this to happen!? Isn't Shadowens the longest tenured coach in RC.  And since Rankin left he has to be the winningest coach there.  Unreal, I thought RC was supposed to be the SEC of High School football in TN.  It shows they really don't care about athletics.   Can't use academics as an excuse either.  On signing day pretty sure the Blaze sent some STUDENT-ATHLETES to some pretty prestigious colleges/universities/academy.  I don't know, I probably shouldn't care, it just bothers me.

Read my post..............I did not call her smart!

 

Remember the (2) rules

1.) The Boss is always right

2.) If Boss is wrong......refer back to rule #1.

 

Shadowens is undoubtably a good coach, but calling out your principal in the paper is NOT smart. Here is why..............if he applies for Oakland; I have to believe the Oakland principal will think..............hmmm..."what if turns on me"..........hmm.

Now this will not apply,,,,IF he and the Oakland principal are relatives, next-door neighbors, or simply great friends.

 

Reason I say this.........I had 2 coaching friends do same thing; was NOT a good career for either..............they never recovered.

 

BURNING BRIDGES IS NOT SMART...............BURNING THEM IN PUBLIC EXCEEDS ANY AND ALL IQ; THAT ONE MIGHT HAVE!!

    • 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.
