    As to Coach T his problem was never his players or the community. His problem was Coach Gary Rankin. That's always been the talk  Ash always fell in line with Rankin. Never been one at Carthage like Coach T.

    His problem at Tyner was with former coach Jim Dillard. Long story there.2 prima donnas. I don't know much about Smith Co but this new coach must have potential for them to pass on Coach T if he was interested.

    Thought that myself. He was at SC as girls coach. Depends on talent at Gville. We have it here. Would Coach T want to come? He'll always be a coach and he thinks the world of Scott Apple.

    Dude I would drive from Lookout Valley to watch Coach T again.

    If they are smart they are calling Mississippi. 2 HOF. Knows the school. 

    I don't know much about this school but yeah know about the coach. Watched his Tyner teams in Chattanooga. Ran an exciting system. Probably wouldn't have left if the old coach wasn't hanging around undermining him. Went to the south part of MS around Hattiesburg and had 4 or 5 state teams. Good coach and motivator.

    It was hard playing for Coach Thompson and having Dillard still at the school telling you different from what ur head coach was teaching. Coach Dillard had alot of talent on those teams 97-99  that he didnt develop. He picked two guys (Long and Dickerson) and focused on them and neglected the other players that were talented. 

    Different kind of coach than Dillard man. Yes I would probably say he left because of Dillard's conniving. I don't think he would have left his young boys he developed otherwise. It was a difficult situation for the man but Jimmy D was a legend at Tyner. Hard to overcome.

    How is Coach Dillard doing?  I remember him at Tyner and his beautiful wife in the stands supporting him and the team.  

    Dillard retired in Florida I think. Coach Thompson retired in Mississippi...6 states...3 District COY... South Mississippi HS HOF.

    Williams left for "greener" pastures.  Taylor got them to the glass house.  Sounds like Rade is the one that needs to be slapped. 

    I'm just telling the Truth... they will be humbled very quickly. I'm not discounting getting to the Glass House but everyone knows CC isn't a Top 8 team in 4A...I would doubt a Top 20 team either. Once again what was Taylor's record for his 1st tenure?

    Congrats to Coach Taylor! Well deserved trip into the history books for a CCCHS lifer. 

    They are about to be slapped back to reality I think. Weak district and region...played every game in their gym. Williams put this team together... Taylor rode his coattails What was Taylor's record for his previous tenure?

  8. They have had 2 #HOF coaches in Jimmy Dillard and Steve Thompson. Dillard actually built the program. Thompson came in after Dillard stepped down and had some limited success in a rebuilding era.. I actually think he could have done well there but left because the sentiment understandably wasn't with him. Dillard took it back over and had success.

    Are you implying a coaching change is being made or is this just a general question about the program’s ability to compete in the future?

    Future of program...it's no secret the talent is there...too much to take a early exit.
