0-10 is a rough way to begin your tenure as a head coach

Go Cougars!

That dont say much for Oak Ridge.... Halls shut them down first half...lol A bunch of no talent kids almost beat Oak Ridge....

AC## Hey man young guys or not those boys have talent and your son is one of them. Thats all I am going to say.

.....yep.

No disrespect intended here but AC didnt have much defense last year, they just had an offense that kept them in the game. I dont think I would blame this years defense squarely on a new coach but I would expect him to make the changes needed to improve the defense. And while i am on a rant, since when is it so wrong for a player to go both ways? AC has alot of offense guys who need to play on defense. OK, now on to Halls.

.....agreed.

Time will tell...

@ Opie....No, Thanks. (on the Kerr trading)

@ mavhead...I agree with a LOT of what you're saying. I think part of the problem IS that the COACHES don't know their talent or what exactly they ARE (the talent)is capable of.

@ Oskie...NOT all of it is coaching, I agree. I understand there are some extra curricular activities going on with some team members. Let's just say what you do OFF the field DIRECTLY effects what goes on, on the field.

@ ACM22...I hope you're right. Maybe they will gel at the right time...

@ RR....I'm still NOT impressed with Hammontree. Not yet. I sincerely hope you're right about him and I do realize these "things" sometimes takes time. We shall see.....

@ ACM22...if your son is ashamed of how this Maverick team has been playing, maybe it's time HE stepped up and took the lead. Just a suggestion. It will be hard for him being an underclassman. BUT....if there are others that share his vision for this team, then THEY need to step and support your son's efforts. Go Mavs!

Do the words "balanced offense" mean ANYTHING to coaches ANYMORE??? We have went from one extreme, running the ball during the Kerr years, to another, which is passing the ball under the Gillum years. A strong running game is what opens up the passing game and TOUGH defense is what WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.

@ THEMANCONAN...I don't think this kids dad is either WHAT you think he is or WHO you think he is. I know this gentleman personally and I'm here to tell you he's worse on him than ANY of his coaches are....maybe part of the problem. I don't know. I do know that this team is gonna have to pull together if they expect to start winning. Receivers, qbs, and DEFENSE.

@ ACM22...AGREED!!! THIS TEAM...THIS WHOLE TEAM DOES NOT WANT IT BAD ENOUGH. If that's the case, then I'm with you. Move over and let the younger players that WANT IT, HAVE IT!

@92D...I think you're a good guy (even though I love aggravating the heck out of you) and I respect the loyalty you've shown your Dragons over the years. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE MAVERICK FOOTBALL. PERIOD.

.....Oh, and did I mention, I'm NOT a fan of the new DC? NOT YET, anyways. I hope for the teams sake, he proves me wrong. Just because you played football, DOESN'T mean you can COACH FOOTBALL.

We can play the "who's you daddy?" card all we want to and with any team you want to play that card with, however.....ALL qb's throw interceptions. Period. What is highly suspect? Receivers have got to RUN their routes. Receivers have got to FINISH their routes. Receivers got to CATCH the ball when it hits their hands. DEFENSE????? I believe that would entail TACKLING. NOT arm tackling. LOWERING the shoulder pads, WRAPPING up, and DRIVING through.....! WOW.....just expected so MUCH more from this team.

WHAT IS IT????? Just because AC has this "air raid" mentality, do we NOT need to practice TACKLING anymore???? I'm seeing this in the middle school AND high school level. I know I'm old school, but Mav fans...WE ARE SOFT! DEFENSE? WHERE ARE YOU?

LOL Now that is big problem with Clinton this year. 92 always trying to make the Mavs look bad. LOL 92 better be getting the dragons ready for CCHS instead of doging the Mavs. We can get the film footage for the game if that will help. Just playing with you Dragon! But seriously you now may be the only Anderson County team to lose to CCHS if you don't get your act together. Go Dragons!

lol......True dat, jeopardyperil! CC over Clinton. You guys "herd" it here first!!! Go Cougars!

Just read of this young man and his injury...As a parent I can't imagine what his parents are going through....So I ask everyone to take a minute and lift up Tucker Montgomery and his family in your prayers to our Lord Jesus Christ....

Prayers going up for Tucker and his family and this football community from Anderson County, S-N-B!!! We had a scare similar to this Friday night with one of our players. Was a clean hit...BUT helmet to helmet!!! T$$AA needs to address this ASAP.

Sounds like a great idea, HTV. We wish you much success!

So what teams are you thinking you will lose to?

....so what teams you think Clinton will lose to, 92D? If CC beats Clinton....THAT will be HUGE! lol

According to this story in the News-Sentinel back when the announcement was made that the Prices were leaving for Campbell County, Coach Gillum will serve as his own offensive coordinator:

 

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2011/jun/09/justin-price-be-named-campbell-county-coach/

 

"They are getting good coaches and good guys. They've paid their dues," said Anderson County coach David Gillum, who'll take over the offensive coordinator duties.

Yeah.....I read that article early this morning, HTV. (A little behind...!) He's gonna have his work cut out for him, but I'm sure he'll do fine!

....still ya gotta wonder.

Trey McCoy and Josh Maze (AC)

Mobley and McPhetrich (Powell)

Ryan Francis (West)

Josh Mayes for sure. McCoy...big IF. IF he does, he'll have to do it on offense. Defense, unless he's greatly improved, can't figure out WHO to block. Hopefully he can work on this weakness and be ready to tear it up on defense! Go Mavs!

But when Kerr got there you got some big name kids from up there that all started for the Mavericks. JAMMY CHADWELL MADE ALLSTATE, DAVEY GILLUM ALLSTATE DANIEL BERRY ALLSTATE, JUSTIN PRICE ALL STATE, THESE MADE ALL REGION 1,2 YEARS SOME SHOULD HAVE MADE ALL STATE. RUSS GILLUM, RODNEY ELLIOTT,MATT PRICE, NICK DERRY,SEAN CROSS IS JUST A FEW....LOL BEFOR THEN I THINK THE BIGGEST ONE THAT LEFT WAS BRAD WOLF......

YEP.....kids like to play for a winning system with a coach that knows HOW to win. Plain and simple.

Not on OC/DC but we got new d-line coach today, dont know his name yet?

Who's the new d-line coach, ACM22? Any rumors or rumors of rumors on AC/DC, yet?

OK, folks...who's it gonna be?

Players have been transferring from Campbell Co since Lake City had its own High School and Anderson Co was non-existent. No one had a problem with all of the CC transfers until Big Kerr got there. There were not anymore transfers to AC during Kerr's error then before. It is just more people had a problem with it when AC started winning. The Price twins will have a tough task, but if there were 2 guys to turn it around it is them.

You're exactly right. THERE wasn't a problem til AC started winning...!

evidently no one holds a grudge

......TIME will tell.

I hope not, for the kids sake.

Easy there oppressed Im still on your side of the field. I certainly am not a "band wagonner", my blood runneth blue. Lets just let the boys on the feild do the talking. We got a couple or 3 Qtr final appearences to boast about. Coach Gillum and his staff has us going in the right direction. I just prefer to get as far as we can with class. Thats how my son is taught at AC and thats the way I brought him up. No since in jabbing back and forth. Bad as I hate to say it, The Ridge is way ahead of us on long standing tradition and championships. The Mavricks are loaded at the underclassmen level, lets see if we can cut into that over the next 3 or 4 years. Remember, Im on your side. We just go about it differantly.

????...wasn't EVEN thinking about you ACM22. 92D jumps on which ever band wagon is ahead at any given time and can suck up to...just saying. If Powell is winning, he's BIG buddies with the Powell faithful, etc... ( I guess cause he don't have MUCH to brag on about Clinton?????!!!) I guess it makes him feel part of the FOOTBALL community. But anywho...glad you joined us on CoachT. Welcome. I'm NOT as low class as SS and 92D would have you believe. I just thoroughly enjoy getting them going!!! (DON'T tell SS but that ONE win against OR has NOT really made me a "happy man"! ) As long as you're a MAVERICK fan...I DON'T care "how you go about it!" Good luck to your son this year and GO MAVS!!!
