Let me ask you this, if Overton could do it all over knowing the consequences, do you think Overton  would have the same reaction?

I'm swinging. I am going to protect myself. I will go even further, I am going to protect my teammates whether I got hit or not.

I guarantee you the same thing that Overton went through PC kids would have done too. You dont get elbowed four or five times without responding.

That's what I was referring to earlier. If I get hit once I am swinging back. This is America, we do have the right to defend ourselves. Guaranteed by the Constitution. 

Lots of people with a lot of answers. What happened the other night could happen to anyone, no matter the structure or lack of structure in the program. Being a metro program don't have nothing to do with it.

The principal y'all speak of that damaged the school is gone. A new principal is in place. The current coach will soon be replaced. The question is can a new coach be recruited that is capable of establishing a solid winning program? It can be done if it's important to the current Administration and to the community..

You are right about the changes that have occurred. The real question is will the people of bransford ave let the new principal do what she wants to do. Early signs point to no.

I never said anything about being a powerhouse. I said anything that was good at Antioch she destroyed. We went from a reward school to a priority school in her first year, so don't throw test scores out there because that is false. 

 the downfall of antioch started when shawn joseph took over metro schools. he brought in keiva wiley as principal and her short tenure resulted in the systematic tearing down of everyting good at antioch.  it is a shame that someone as unqualified, idiotic... could have the disastrous impact. her reach has now impacted overton because the guy she hired to replace wood has absolutley no control or anything else that a football coach needs... she had no reason to fire wood who won 3 games in his first year back. this after i believe antioch had lost around 15 games in a row including an 0-11 campaign the year before. 

Bad decision in my opinion to punish over tonight this harshly.

MNPS needs to listen to the teachers first. They are in the classrooms every day and know what is going on. They know the challenges and together they know the solutions. However, MNPS has consistently listened to politicians and parents who simply are not trained in the field of education. MNPS needs to focus on hiring good teachers regardless of race, cultural background, etc. As Bigchief stated MNPS needs discipline and structure. These issues are why good teachers leave MNPS every year. Everyone that I still keep up with from high school now lives in surroundings counties. Most of the teachers I know from MNPS are either gone to other counties, are trying to leave, or are simply locked in to MNPS due to financial benefits. Sad times in MNPS.

Your first sentence made me laugh. That day is gone forever. Everything in metro is backwards. The school that I am at spends 90 percent of the time on the kids that cause problems but only make up about 5 percent of the enrollment. In most cases they let kids off the hook because they will find fault with the teacher that reported behavior problem.

What up Scott. Keep on keeping on. You are a winner and you have proved that. Seen any souix at shoneys lately. Lol. Bush

I would like to take a minute and talk about our objectives from a football program standpoint. The name of the game is to try and win as many games as you want to but the bigger picture is to help student athletes become better men, husbands, fathers and successful as they graduate from high school and move on into adult life. It is hard to disprove what someone with a computer and a agenda can type and hide behind a screen name says but I can say that since i have been there everyday with our kids we would never give our kids a certain number of wins to keep my job or to play for me or any other or our coaches. Our players play for our team, our community and our county which has a proud tradition of football Our kids are being taught to win, fight and compete with class every day.

 

There is nothing to gain for me being on here except that i do not hid behind a screen name, i am scott smith.

 

As for the future of rebel football we will begin cleaning up our field house and storing away equipment after cleaning up and inventorying it. We will begin our off season weight program tomorrow, since all but two players have weight lifting during the day, and start finalizing our next 2 year schedule and begin preparation for our new region opponents. We will focus on getting our senior players that want to play college football a place to play next year. In other words it will be business as usual.

thanks steelcity. don't sound like it is that easy.

what would a mt. juliet student have to do to attend lebanon? or vise versa. just wondering if it is as easy/same as metro.

just wondering, how easy is it for players to leave lhs and play for another in county school. what are the transfer rules or special transfer rules?

Mike Woodward best candidate.

. I agree

i have an issue with some of these post. yeah our team is really struggling. yeah they don't compare to some of the teams of the past. the music thing happened but it was quickly taken care of. as far as our school going downhill fast, not even close. as a guy who has been in the building since the first day it opened,i can tell you it has never been better. not even close.

Moonwink at least come up with your own shtick and quit trying to emulate the idiot in Maryville. Crawford wanted to come back to Middle TN, Brentwood needed a coach good enough to compete with the best competition in TN, they got together and both parties are happy. Why do you care?

I don't know what you are talking about when it comes to Marysville. Bruindad got on me because I mispelled kiedel, so I am running with it. I care because my friend got done wrong by the fine people that run bwood high. Go back and see page 1. The fine people part of this commentary was sarcasm by the way.

Hear is my response:

 

1. In 08, 09, 10, 11, Brentwood played Blackman, Oakland, Smyrna, and Hendersonville. Frigging murderers row and comparable to recent schedules. 08 region champs and state quarter finalist. 09 region champs and state semi finalist. 10 district champs and lost in first round to state finalist. 11 state quarter finalist . Success has made Brentwood a hard place to schedule. Ron hated playing his son in law.

2. I do have a thing for the administration. Best high school in state. Thanks to them, I had 3 sons all get huge scholarships and multiple degrees. Through 3 undergraduate degrees and 2 masters, I've paid about $20,000 in tuition. Keidel can sleep with my wife AND her sister if he wants.

3.i had a son on the 08, 09. And 10 teams under Ron . I never been around a better motivator, leader, and person.leader, I saw us lose but rarely outcoached. He maid everyone a part of the team. He can also sleep with my wife but not her sister because I dont want him mad

4. I know you feel your boy deserved another year. I heard nice things about him. I know Ron thought he was a good guy. I watched them play about 5 times and my only comment is they didn't tackle very well.

 

I hope coach Woodard finds a good fit so you'll have a place to root for him. We at Brentwood are already brushing on our RosettA Stone Ron Crawford language skills.

whale isnt thatt spechul. first u say crawfish woodnt lisun bout dis job til sesun wuz ober. now u got hem sleep in wit yo wife an sistur. come on man.

I don't believe that Crawford and Keidel had a plan the entire year for Crawford to return. That is not either one style. I know for a fact that Ron would not entertain these types of discussion while his team was in the playoffs. As for why coach Woodward got fired,. I imagine 5-15 had something to do with it. I can't speak for other reasons. I do think it is fair to say he inherited a tough situation after Pemberton bolted.

. Brundady, it don't mater what u belive. Its a fakt.

Not true!

yeah it is.

Not Coach Crawford's fault, but Woodward got screwed big time.

you are correct that wood got screwed big time. however crawford is not an innocent. he was contacted by keydel about a month into the season about coming back to bwood. they waited until this week to announce to try to hide that fact.

Ain't gonna be posted. They have had their guy for a while.

Wow! You sound very unbiased. Are you his wife? I have no idea what was told to him during the year and I do think 2 years is too quick to pull the trigger. With that said, let's be brutally honest here. The guy was a sub .500 coach in metro and he went 5-15 in 2 years at BW. Everyone can say what they want about the brutal schedule. It was, but throw Blackman and Oakland out and the important stat is that the only Williamson Co team he beat was Summit. If Summit hadn't opened he'd be 0-W Co. in 2 years. His only real claim to fame is winning it with Rector and TC Jennings and lots of guys could have done that. Bottom line, no matter how many seniors they lost before he got there, Crawford and a lot of other coaches around here wouldn't have gone 5-15.

i am very biased. i coached with him for years and known him for a bunch more. the job he did at antioch was outstanding 38-39 record, playoffs 5 times,the number of players that were able to go to college, pretty dang good. have your opinion, i good with that, but i got mine too.

They just got rid of the best choice. Don't matter who they hire. Being from Lebanon all this parent running the administration has a very familiar feeling. But on the bright side look how good Lebanon has been over the last few years.
