EN has a all new Coaching staff 

1.en has d1 skill position not lineman like most metro schools expect they do a better job at promoting there players

2. EN does have a middle school but at every MS game there is 2-3 private schools...( M.Sawyers..D morehead..P. Mamadu ..D. russuell) all east kids but recruited out of East to private schools 2 of the 4 are lineman

3. lineman and revacation  metro teams have multiple former east players on there squad due kids being revacated ( kicked out) then and a shortage of lineman ...metro teams that compete a high level year in and year out have lineman  east was dominate the years they had lineman

4. most school athletics work together like football and track not the case at east it is each man for themselves there is no unity among coaches because ...of how well east football promote its athletes which leads to jealousy...1 coach told a kid he would suspend him for 2 games if he played in the spring game...the is alot of undertones at this school which is 88.7 % african american but the administration is 96% white...i dont not believe there is racism involved but the are cultural differences there was a teacher that was released because of this

with all this being said they continue to send these African American boys to college u do hear of them getting in trouble they are doing a great job in mentoring these young men and they are .500 right now and have clinched a playoff spot for the 5 straight year

 

it could always be better so keep Grinding EN because people are watching

So you're saying that athletes involved in spring sports should take off the spring sport and participate in spring football? And if the kid gets hurt in the football workouts/game tough luck for the spring sport?

Eastside teams are all pretty even. On any given night a different team will come out on top.

PC looks to easily be the best team in metro! Few too many points allowed though.

Sounds like a challenge.... 

How long has this staff been there and what is their overall record?

Other than a QB what do they need to be successful?

Upton was a pretty good QB for them but nothing since.

Seem to recall parents being up in arms when students were rezoned to their poor academically challenged neighborhood school but parents of football players from all over the city want their kids at that same school....

Difference between East and those other schools is East doesn't have anywhere else to practice on campus without turf....

They're  at a ms now because of construction. When the stadium is done, where will they practice?

Not unless they want to sit out a year. TSSAA new rule with the Athletic Coaching link doesn't allow this scenario to play out.

I'm sure the law firm of Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald are already preparing briefs for hardship appeals....

Cogman...?

Jaalon ( Freight-train ) Gupton OL from Stratford 6-4 310 Sophomore has Memphis offer. Power 5 offers will be coming soon.

Roderick Owens 6-4 203 Sophomore WR Stratford.

Ledarius Haynes 6-2 200 Senior WDE/OLB Stratford.

 

Those sophomores gonna be wearing green next year at Hillsboro?

1-No game yet Had Louisville Ballard but It fell thru

2-MBA (D2 Class AAA Runner Up)

3-Giles (4A Second Round)

4-CPA (3A Semifinalist)

5-Cookeville (6A Playoff Qualifier)

6-Marshall Co. (4A Semifinalist)

7-Stratford (3A Second Round)

8-Cordova (6A Semifinalist)

9-FALL BREAK

10-East Nashville (3A Playoff Qualifier)

11-Whites Creek

Solid schedule!

Lol. just one, not all.

Is it the special Ed teacher that uses his credentials to get into all the middle schools to recruit the kids?

I can't disagree with giving a coach a chance. I can disagree with giving a coach a chance that had zero success at his previous school including a winless second year which, if I'm not mistaken, included the school dropping is MS program. If I recall correctly his time at Ezell was not even mentioned in the press release when he was hired at Antioch.

As for clean programs in metro, who has them? I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on this.

Calvin Hall will forever be a state record holder. Only coach to ever go 0-11 in one season. No denying that kind of record!

I guess the next coach will have to win more the three games or lose the job as well....?  

Wow....

Anything....?

Read the article by the Tennesseean. Sounds like the circus will be in town tomorrow. If Woodward does "get his job back" then the principal needs to go! I can't imagine a more toxic work environment than that if she stays!

I read the Antioch article. What a joke! Metro used to have football jobs appointed by the board of educatIon. That way you wouldn't have "principal" come in and arbitrarily make a change without merit. Looks like they should go back to this policy. Then again, this school board is not very impressive either.

What happened to the previous coach?

Good list. I think Maplewood and east may continue to slide and Stratford will continue to rise if the big man at Stratford hauls in the kids the way he has in the past. I like the numbers. Be interesting to see where they are in a couple of years.

The list is not in order by records smart guy. Thats the list for the season.... flip the top two and There's your "whole program list" basically

 

You're right smart guy. If it were by this year's record, then PC would have been down at the bottom! I just went by some DA's determination that the winner of the Antioch vs Overton game on 9/18 would be ranked higher as a program. My mistake....
