Fan base is hard on their coaches and having a superintendent that micro manages their coach doesn’t help... I predicted this earlier in the year...

You forgot to put the word wrong after everything... 1 never said that at all youre twisting my words ... 2 My son let me have his game plans every week after the game was played for 4 years. 3.Hey you got something right! I understand game plans having coached and played the game and in hind sight knowing how the game played out was impressed most weeks how accurate the scouting was on the opposing team and the game plan against was very professional. 4. yes I called Shawn and asked if he was leaving us other than my previous post I wont go into more detail. 5. I talk with faculty and non faculty coaches about the program all the time including Coach Blow and have never tried to be "behind the back" as you said but nice distortion of the truth which seems to be your M.O. I am done here. You are obviously just trying to cause trouble and to be an important somebody while an actual unimportant nobody and I wont be a part of your self ingratiating . I have been around the T to long to let a troll got over on me..goodbye nobody. To the rest of you see ya next football season.

No, you didn't. You left out the part where you "jumped the gun" in order to be first out with the news, and said some pretty harsh things about a fairly successful and much respected coach and man. If everything happens as you said, it's still immoral for you to put it out there beforehand. On the other hand, if it's just a rumor... well I guess that's just you living up to your username.

Ha! I will leave the picks to the smart people like you WollyWorm. I dont expect anyone to do anything they dont want. I'm pretty sure none of the pollsters were forced into the job. BUT if they agreed to participate in the poll, I think they should also agree, by default, to be knowledgeable on the subject and do the best of their ability.

A good teacher depends on two things. First, people can sit there and say that a good teacher focuses on the development of a student from the time when he/she enters the classroom, to the time when he/she leaves the classroom. The other deciding factor that determines a good teacher is the test scores. Needless to say, students that has good test scores make up a good teacher. A students grown will determine how good a teacher is. Regardless, statistics is the answer. Want to find out whether if a teacher is good or not, look at the test scores. Nothing “character” determines a good teacher to a bad teacher.

I can think of another word to replace that one that I’m sure crossed his mind. CoachT is a forum for fans to constructively talk about inter scholastic athletics. It should not be used for “Keyboard Heroes” to get online and bash and call out respectable coaches, administrators, or players. It also shouldn’t be used to stir up erroneous information about one’s professional or personal life.

So far, Dobyns Bennett is looking as if they will be unchallenged in District 1 and maybe in Region 1 as well. In District play, they are at Tennessee High this Friday, so that will be a tough challenge. Saturday, they host Jefferson County from District 2, who they already beat on the road this year. D-B also has wins over District 2's Morristown West at home and Morristown East x 2 (once in Morristown and once in the Arby's Classic). This is my first year keeping up with D-B and Northeast Tennessee basketball as a whole, but D-B looks to be pretty dang tough.

I completely understand. I hate not knowing if our girls are going to get to wrestle throughout the week. Like I mentioned before, they are seeing more success this season than our guys (mostly due to some key injuries this season with the boys), and I hate that they don't have as many opportunities. Again it's a growing sport and it'll take time. Rome wasn't built in a day. All we can do is keep providing opportunities and doing what we think is best for the program. Hopefully other coaches will catch on and follow suit.

One can only hope. Not trying to be critical, but every young man should have access to a program that is run the right way. Football can improve a kid's life dramatically and it is sad to see some schools not embrace that fact.

Wayne County put up 22 and 26 points respectively against two of the best defenses in the State in Huntingdon and Cornersville. After the slow start including a bad loss to Summertown, they were clicking well in the last half of the season. With a good hire, they should be very competitive next year.

Bullseye! I'd like to add (because Title IX has been thrown like a grenade) that if the practice field can be lined off to meet the "standard dimensions" of TSSAA soccer fields, and the football field can't for whatever reason, they could be forced to use the practice field using Title IX against them (hint,hint). You hometowners need to follow BPM's advice and support the kids... all football programs in this area are funded by a collusion of sources, and boosters work alongside coaches for the betterment of facilities. I doubt that it would be readily accepted for another program to enjoy the fruits of football's labor without reciprocating upkeep at any school, and rightly so. You Title Nine'rs have a case, but it's not with football, it's with the central office. Edit... For the "taxpayers fund all sports..." comment. Sports are not a requirement. Title IX ensures EQUAL opportunity for both sexes, nothing more or less, and the public portion (taxes) of financial support is determined solely by administration. If any soccer booster feels entitled to the use of another program's designated facility "just because it's there", you're wrong on every level.

If SS is the best we have to offer in AA, were in trouble come March. They barely beat Bolivar twice...what about Raleigh Egypt and Wooddale?
