I believe we are talking about the same coach, and from what i have heard it is. I don't know who the others that Heritage is interviewing are, but the coach from alabama is one heck of a coach! And a good man. If this guy gets the job you folks will get a excellent coach. I also think that this guy would be a great fit at Heritage. Good luck own your search!

Lets build a program!! Amen.

Let me slow this down for you again Slowber. OK in the I we have are fullback who is lined up behind the QB right. (are you following me so far?). Then you have your I -back right behind the fullback right!(I hope this is not to fast). Remember when I said we had 2 tightends alright. That means that they are both in tight, right next to the tackles( I hope you know who the tackles are, because if you don't you will not get this.) Being that we are in a tight formation, that other back is lined up tight also. That being at the WING.(take your time and read real slow, you will get it). Now when we move that I-back over at the other wing (you know the I-back, the one who was behind the fullback). Bam, we are now in a Double-wing set. If you really think hard you will get this. Maybe get some crayons & paper and try to draw it out.

And this is for Slowber. The 1st difference between the two, FORMATION!, Let me say this again real slow. I T S A D I F F E R E N T F O R M A T I O N. Heck I can take a I formation with two tightends, move that tailback over behind the tightend and I now have the Double Wing. You know Y. Because I changed the formation. And Y would a coach who ran the WingT want to move players around so it would look like a Double-wing? Because he wants to change formations. To run plays that are more effective out of a certain Formation than they are out of another Formation. And here is another tip for ya. If you want to run a Crossbuck, please do it out of something other than a spread double-wing. Are you friggen kidding me. And your a LL coach?

Key words here "build a PROGRAM". Your right, got to have a good feeder program. Very, very, important.

Good post! One of the best examples of this is Polk Co.

Your post is very accurate. These two offenses are very different. It is a variation of the wishbone, but with its spread formation it makes it much more dynamic. The main linking still being the triple option. This is a very tuff offense to defend because of all its versatilaty. Much easier to throw the ball out of this formation than the bone because you actually always have 4 recievers spread out. Also when using the deep motion this offense can be very much like running the I formation. Also like the wishbone this offense is neutral. Which is to say by alinement you are not strong to either side. What you can run right you can also run left without tipping off the Defense. I also agree this offense is not the wing-T by any stretch of the imagination. I watched Georgia Tech a couple of times this year. It is a thing of beauty watching them run this Offense. They had over 400 yards rushing against Georgia, I bet you would be hard pressed to find the last time a team ran the ball all over the Bulldogs like that.

We have no middle school teams. So how has that hurt the LL? The only thing that has hurt the LL is the LL its self. Both of these LL programs are always down toward the bottom in total wins in thier league. Sure there might be a team here and there that will be a little better than .500, but thats about it.

Your perception is pretty good. The students have never been the problem at Sequoyah, its the adults. For the most part it is a minority of folks but that small group yells and screams pretty loud, and they know enough of the right people to really stink things up. As for the rivals part, I don't think that is as much of a problem that it is made out to be. The real problem seems to be that with the 2 feeder programs kids play certain positions and have certain roles on their LL teams and when the get to High school, all the sudden there is alot more compitition for positions and playing time. Instead of LL coaches and parents preparing these kids for this and accepting it theirselves. They try to control things as much as possible. When that does'nt work they start blaming coaches and everyone else.

I like your post. You are right about several things here. I also think that Seqouyah could be a very good program. The feeder teams is very important for any good high school program. IMO I would like to see a middle school team or teams put into place. The key to this would be to make sure the right person was the head coach( the high school coach should make this decision.) From my understanding this was talked about last year but ran into alot of resistance from some of the LL coaches. To many people around here worried about themselves instead of having a good football program. For the most part both these LL programs struggle.

With all that has gone on, this team responded well. Good group of Seniors, not the most athletic bunch but they played with alot of heart & desire. Still a long way to go for this program but you have to start somewere. If we will leave the coaches alone and give them a chance we will see?

To say that Central or Howard have not had the athletes the last 2 years is just wrong. I watched Central play Greenbriar last year and Dekalb this year in the playoffs. Central was bigger & faster than either of them. Definatly more athletic! The difference is in the coaching. Halftime of the Central Dekalb game was tied at 14 each. Second have Dekalbs coaches 14 - Centrals 0. I do agree that we need middle school football in this region.

I also have been impressed with these young men. I think you have to look at these Seniors & Juniors and give them alot of credit. With all they have been through in having 3 different head coaches and then the complete let down in the unfortunate events of this Summer. Which might I add in both cases have been caused by what are suppose to be adults! These kids have rised up above all this junk and pushed their way through these muddied waters. These kids come out every Friday night and give there best even though the deck has been stacked against them. Some of these Seniors who have been put down around and about and on these threads continue to go out and give everything that they have got. Well I say I tip my hat to you guys. What a fine example you are for my kids and for this area. Alot of us adults around here could learn some much needed lessions from these young men! I would also like to thank Coach S. for his comment in Sundays paper about these Seniors and what kind of leaders they have been for this team. As for the team I also agree the Offense is starting to come around. The coaches have done a real good job the last couple of games in their play calling. Coach S. stated in Sundays paper even though he would like to throw the ball, but when the horse is running stay with the horse. This offense gives these kids their best chance. Also since we are on certain kids. I think #21 & #44 have also been playing well. #21 pound for pound may be the hardest hitting player on this team. Watching him during games on both sides of the ball he is always flying around looking to lay a block or big hit on someone. Both these kids seem to give Max effort all the time. Also the Defense has steadly improved all season. Go out Friday night and play hard Chiefs! Sequoyah 35 - 7

Sequoyah handled East ridge last night with no problem. Central will kill them. Central 42 - 0

Great job Chiefs!! Way to go out and get that "W". Good job by the coaches calling the game. Once we went to that double wing and ran the veer and those misdirection plays east ridge could not stop it. I don't know what we ended up with, but we had to have over 300 yards rushing last night. After watching these first 5 games there is no doubt that this team is at its best when we line up and run this offense. The wings had a big game last night. Carson & Breeden both seem to be getting around 5 to 6 yards a carry. 1st time i have seen us do this all year and stick with it. Great job by the Oline, big holes to run through all night. We did'nt throw the ball near as much but when we did we did it out of this set. I think that is when we are most affective in the passing game. Also the Defense is getting better each week. Our secondary was really hitting last night, knocked some balls loose. Defense is alot better than we were at the first of the season. Work hard this week and lets go get Tellico. Don't over look them they are much improved and they will play us harder than anyone else they play.
