Barneysox2007 right NOW!.............

Uh oh. Call the Comcast support line Coach!

Don’t feel the need to defend your resume on here Coach. Just make sure you bring the Powell manual for getting recruits squared away and you’ll be fine. While I’ve got your ear can I take the over in the Music City Bowl?

alot more affected his lack of success at cleveland than coaching ability. cleveland is not an easy place to win. he will enjoy much success at Oak ridge i believe

And folks in Cleveland are laughing.

See, that's the funny thing to me... It's always outsiders that try to put the crown on Huntingdon mid-season. Then when Huntingdon fans post in support of their team, certain ones (usually the same ones) never fail to start chest thumping about how all Huntingdon fans said this team was world beaters. Not a single Huntingdon fan all year said we were the favorites to come out of the West. You're right Roy. We DID get beat in the 2nd round. We played Memphis' All-Star team with 30+ seniors and got beat. The point was never that Huntingdon would win the state title. No one from Huntingdon has said that. The point is that there were 3 other good teams in the West that all could have won the state title had they been in Westview's place. In my completely subjective opinion, the Gold ball was coming back to the West regardless of who Hampton was up against. Folks can agree or disagree all they want.

Scott Cummings is the new head football coach at Oak Ridge. The man who has been chosen to rebuild Oak Ridge into the powerhouse program it once was. I think it was a good hire.

Meigs beat Tellico tonight 46-42, Meigs is young but will get better as the season goes.

"Talent wise"? We're just a system team. We never have any talent.

Yeah. Knew what it was. The Snail Darter was an alleged I dangers species that kept the Yellico from being darned up for decades in Lenoir City. Just trying to inject some humor.

Great job starting the program and best of luck.

They can laugh all they want. We are happy to have him. And Cleveland will never sniff a championship in football again as long as there's an OaKland and a Murvil.

Dang that was hard to read and make sense of!

Cleveland's HWT just signed with Cornell. I have no idea, but maybe he decided that he had already committed and decided that he would rather spend his time his senior season wrestling with his team instead of at an individual tournament. But I'm not sure why it would matter to anyone on this board why he chose what he chose.

Some people would call me a troll but I’m an MJ fan who immigrated to Farragut and I need to know who hired the bookie with two plays in his playbook. I’m going to send them an edible arrangement from the West Rebels. It will be a blowout game one.

Bishop Sycamore?

Yup!!!! Good point. But they are only as good as the information they are given or follow-up on.

I think, if I'm not mistaken, OR has played Clinton 59 times, leading the series 47 wins to 12, and 4 of those 12 Clinton victories were in '43 and '44 when OR played at Clinton twice in each of its first two seasons of football. I would say the "rivalry" has been a bit one sided.

But that Lenoir City job….

He was hired to be the new head coach at independence high school in Williamson

I don’t know who was running the offense in the loss to Catholic but you can hang that L on offensive play calling in the second half. Powell should have continued to run the ball since the Irish couldn’t stop them. Going for home run balls and a stupid FG attempt were the only way Catholic had any chance to win.

Top 5 dumbest things ever said on coachT.

I think they'll be more competitive next year. Doesn't mean they will win a lot but will show progress. The freshman class has some talent and this year will only make them better for the future.

Imaginary Football League

Ineligible player is a head coach problem, not a JJ problem. Defense allowed 44+ in 6 of the 8 losses. Spin it how you need to, sure the offense numbers weren’t there. Let’s not confuse that defense with the 85 Bears either. If you’re going back 4 years when JJ is fresh off a state championship. Not much to complain about. Your complaint should be that his offense didn’t score 45+ a game.

Don’t run him off BC! It’s good to have some new D2 posters. The IFL falls apart when you compare games like CPA / Oakland and then see how CPA played against Lipscomb twice. it’s crazy impressive that Alcoa has not lost a playoff game since 2014.

I guess that remains to be seen. Time will tell as far as that goes, but I do think Bearden made a good hire. I’ll be surprised if Josh doesn’t pull some really good players to Bearden. Call it what you will, but kids love playing for him, like they do for Lowe @ Powell.

When I think of schools that are going to hand you the keys and let you do whatever it takes to bring the program back I think of Alcoa, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Kingsport D-B and Cleveland far as East Tennessee goes. No doubt Scott did a great job at West especially his last five years there. I remember playing there many a time and you could count all their fans in the stands which was normally fifty or sixty people. West for some reason was the worst spinoff team from the old Knoxville High School for many years. I can still remember long time coach Bill Wilson having many 1-9 or 2-8 records plus many before him that had bad records. I can still remember back in the seventies West had a 18 man football team one year so that can tell you the depths and what rock bottom looked like over there. Think that's why I was so excited about them winning the championship that year and being there the year before. Guess the Cleveland job really shocked me considering they are one of my five schools I think of that would get out of your way and let you do whatever needs to be done. Maybe there's a problem at Cleveland that may not be able to be fixed because the last guy isn't having much luck either. Hopefully things work out and the new coach can get Oak Ridge back on top again.

The Keith coaching era will implode. Wait and see.

At least they won one while they were loaded

Lot of fans from many teams have been eating crow for several weeks and that happens when folks are 100% whatever colors their team wears and don't see the potential negatives or potential positives another team may have.Not everyone said this game would be a blowout and there are some very classy Elizabethton fans .Did I think Elizabethton would win,yes but I thought it would be a war .Going back a few weeks,did I think Greeneville would be the state champion this year . Well, to this day I still think they had the players on this years roster to do it but so did Betsy and Tullahoma.Bottom line is all the ifs ands and buts don't matter because Tullahoma is the very much deserving state champs ...
