It is all political now.

I have had three sons play for Rankin since 2007. I never saw any of the false charges you place here. Rankin is a old school hard nosed man and so many parents and kids are soft and cannot handle it. He will not pet you. He will not console you. He will not favor you. He will not kiss parents butts. He will get after your rear and demand all you have. But, he will give you a chance and it is up to you to excel. If you do not, or if you are inconsistent, or have attitude problems, he will make a change. You do not get many “do overs” in championship football. Additionally, so many parents move their “star” into Alcoa only to find out their kid is treated like everybody else. This hurts their little hearts, they spoil the kids attitude, and it is downhill from there. As for recruiting, I have personally observed him talking to colleges and pushing the abilities of players. However, he will not push kids he knows are incapable of playing at the next level or have attitude/character issues. All of my sons benefited greatly from the life lessons he and his staff delivered every day. Did they complain sometimes? Yes, they did. Did I listen? Yes. Did I agree? No. I told them to get back out there and deliver what he wanted. They are all solid men now. They know how to compete and not make excuses. I thank Coach Rankin and staff for all they did for my sons. And always will. Adios.

Seriously Democratic or Republican I don’t understand how people who is old enough to be my great grandfather/Mother can’t get along. Covid is not going away no time soon. It will be just like the flu. Continue living our lives

I am glad for the young men there. NOW maybe they will get a good Coach! On a personal note, I hope the door hit him HARD! Look out Knoxville, I think the bad penny is about to turn back up.
