We were taken to the woodshed. It was a total beat down all the way from the press box to the parking lot. Saw a woman post on fb that it was because we fired Pittman, the best coach we've had in years. I'm serious! That feller set the program back 10 years. I guess Obama's a good president too

The phone used to be the greatest tool for a "know it all" mouth to spread their ignorance to a few people..Now they have social media to infect whole communities

I'm going to make a post about the history of cloudland football. Most of you homers know that I've been aroundssince the beginning of coach L's first era. During this run, cloudland football became larger than life. To some it's just a game. To a lot of us, it's much more than that. It was our life. Many kids up here would have never been able to be part of something special if it weren't for cloudland football. The sad reality is it's only 4 short years and there is life after it's over and it's over in a hurry. I've witnessed young men whose life went down the pipes because they couldn't adapt to life after cloudland football. Yes. It was that special to a lot of young men. I've saw young men go to an early grave and I've saw young men use what they learned here to go on and achieve great things. Personally, I stayed around for too long but in the long run, I too was able to use what I learned here to make a life for myself. Cloudland football is something that should be taken seriously by anyone who is a highlander and has ties to this program. This is a special corner of the world and we are priveliged to have a man who is one of us to lead our young men. This all that some people have and it may be all that some people will ever have. Look at the impact that it has on our water boys who've been there for 25 years. My point is to make sure everyone there now know how important and how precious our history is here and the effect it has on people's lives

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
