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).

What's the age difference between these two coaches? Does GQ continue to coach after Rankin has retired? If so then he has a very good shot at catching him. GQ has continued to field teams that are technically sound. Looking from the outside it appears as if he doesn't compromise discipline for talent. Each player has to play within the program rather than the program adjusting to the player.

GQ is around 48-50. Rankin is early 60s.

    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
