Coach Gary Rankin

 

396-73 (Overall Record): going for #397 next week

99-20 (Playoff Record): going for #100 next week

11 (State Championships): going for #12 next week

 

 

Coach George Quarles

 

250-16 (Overall Record)

79-7 (Playoff Record)

11 (State Championships)

 

 

First off let me begin by saying these are two of the best, if not the very best, football coaches to ever walk a sideline on a Friday night here in the state of Tennessee.

 

Next week Alcoa plays in the Class 3A State Championship Game and will be a decisive favorite. If the Tornadoes win that game then Coach Rankin wins his 12th State Championship as a head coach which would put him alone at #1 all-time. It would also be his 100th career playoff victory and make him the only coach in the history of the state to reach that milestone. He would be just 3 victories shy of 400 heading into 2017.

 

Maryville ended another terrific season last night in the state semifinals. Coach Quarles winning percentage is second to none. Last week he won his 250th career game as the Rebels head coach. He has 11 total State Championship wins to go along with those wins.

 

At the end of the weekend next week Coach Rankin will lead Coach Quarles on the overall wins list by 147 victories. Alcoa's road to State Championships is much easier than is Maryville's being in 3A rather than 6A. That's a gap that may only continue to widen as long as Gary Rankin chooses to coach football at Alcoa High School.

 

Do you think that Coach Quarles will ever pass Coach Rankin and become the state's all time winningest coach?

 

147 wins = 14.7 wins per year for 10 years

147 wins = 12.25 wins per year for 12 years

147 wins = 9.8 wins per year for 15 years

 

In case you're wondering in 18 years as head coach at Maryville High School the overall win total of 250 for George Quarles comes out at approximately 13.9 victories per year. It's almost impossible to predict that a school, even Maryville, can maintain a run of dominance to that great of a degree (especially playing in the state's largest classification).

    • Will Trez remain 2A after the influx of another 2A school?  
    • As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.  
    • Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality. 
    • I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....
    • I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district
