Saying you want to get rid of Coach Clark is the most absurd statement that has been made on this website ever. Coach Clark is one of the greatest coaches to ever walk a high school sideline. I don't think the Indian Nation understands how good of a coach we have. The man is SECOND in wins behind a freak coach from maryville. Coach Clark has developed players for a very long time. If all you want is for DB to win a ring so that you can claim the success of being able to brag to your South fans at the Eastman that we won. Nobody truly understands what DB means to Coach. He has spent his entire life dedicating himself to DB or trying to get to DB and coach. This man is the only reason that people in Kingsport love football. He has awesome teams on display every year. There isn't a problem for him and coaching. The man knows more about reading a defense than Jim Cheney. Coach is the reason I am where I'm at today. HE gave me the utmost respect in the papers when I played bad , and when this whole website bashed the DB QB in 2009. And the dumbest thing I've heard in 10 years is that people on the QB Club get playing time because of that. I played with a hundred kids who's parents were on the Club and never sniffed the field. I've also had guys whose parents were wernt in it and played since their soph. year. And if you think he plays seniors just because their seniors you couldn't be further from the truth. I have seen a Junior STARTER get pulled going into the offseason of his Senior year. He is fair. He never gave any one player more respect than another. The man is in his office more than his house. I used to watch film with him on Saturdays afetr games from 8am-noon, and when I came back at 8 to run he's still there watching film and scouting. He single handedly got me to college football when no one elses gave me a chance. When everything fell through with my grades the first time around he got me to a prep school looking out for my best interests. When I came to Northeast State, it was HIM who got me a second chance here at Wise. Called Coach and everything. He assured coach that I can still play in which I was awarded a schloarship to play. He spends weeks making highlight tapes and calling coaches when you never asked him to. I play with a ton of guys now they tell all the time, "if I had a Coach to send my name out I'd be here or here." Yall don't understand there isn't another person out there who cares more about the entire PROGRAM out there. He wants to build a solid foundation for winning in games and life. Ask Science Hill what they think..if we get rid of Coach Clark get ready for about 5 coaches in 10 years. He understands tradition as well as winning.
And if you have anything you'd like to say to me personally my name is David Roop.
