Thanks ambassador. That's the 1st time I think you've agreed with anything I've said. I feel like I should get a free coacht shirt or hat. Seriously Pickett had some really good years in the early 90's with them mountain boys. Never could beat those good teams that KC had then but always competed and jasper new they were in a fight. One class won 3 out of 4 against S.P. That was when you could consider games with Grundy to be a rivalry. Would be nice to see Grundy compete year in and year out.

you need to add 1990 and 1991 to that list also. Still the pirates have dominated the series. Grundy has had a lot of issues over the years. lets hope the program is on the rise. Grundy has had some good years, but those only came under quality coaches like KC and Pic. Hopefully Tate can push the program in the right direction. Only time will tell.

So six years ago Grundy hired a guy with three years as an assistant. Now Grundy has hired a guy with three years as an assistant plus one year as middle school head coach. Good to see Grundy learns from past mistakes. Hopefully Tate will do a good job, but unfortunately it looks like they have gone again with the least experienced and cheapest option for a head coach. So was this really the best option considering all of those who applied or is the just same ole Grundy politics.

The teams that Grundy has beat this year are a combined 12 and 38. They have not won a game against a team with a winning record in four years and that won't change this week. McMinn Central 52 Grundy Country 19

And that is just Grundys coaches... Won't this make Grundy 2-4?

[quote name="TheAmbassador" post="3211131" timestamp=" With Coach Bryant you have a coach that is dedicated and probably isn't planning on leaving. Here is part of the problem (dedicated). He has never put in the time to make this program better. He hasn't supported his feeder programs. He has had 6 years and still can barely put 30 on the field. Grundy is a large 3A school and can't dress as many as any of the smaller schools in the area???

Ambassador you haven't had to deal with subpar coaches who put out subpar effort for six years. Grundy's QB is the key to this game. If he plays Grundy has a chance. Either way Grundy has no defense and hasn't in a long time. I pick S.P.By 13 and as long as Grundy keeps these coaches continued mediocrity...

Your logic is mystifying. One win over a very down S.P. and all is forgiven. Grundy will never do any better than .500 with the Bryant's running this team. You have said in here that you just have to trust S.P. Coaches, (who by your post you don't appear to be thrilled with) would you still support them after six years of no improvement? That is where Grundy is...

There is no doubt that Signal has a great team, but when was the last time Grundy gave up 70 points? With the mercy rule it should be a lot harder for this to happen.

After the Sequatchie game there were several on here praising the Bryant's great job of coaching. "great job jackets and the bryant boys! where are all the coach bashers now?????" Now following the loss to Silverdale where are all of the Bryant boys supporters? This was a game they should have won according to most on here and I believe they were picked by everyone in the Chattanooga Times. After Sequatchie there was some talk of a possible 7-3 run. Now with the QB getting banged up what will the rest of the season be like? Opie predicts 4-6. And after that everyone will say they just need a little more time. Have the Bryant's ever followed up an emotional win with anything but a loss?

This will be ugly early and often. Maybe Grundy will try to run the ball more in this game in hopes of running the clock a little more than they usually do. Signal 62-12.

I believe, the key point is have these coaches put out the effort required to help has many kids play somewhere at the next level? Where ever they may be. It also appears grundy has followed up the big overtime win against Sequatchie with an equally disappointing loss tonight at Silverdale....

I was not impressed at all by either teams D tonight. Was very impressed by the heart that players from both teams showed tonight. An unexpected win from Grundy. Will this be momentum for Grundy or a sign that sequatchie isn't that good.

Where there not two experienced coaches who applied for that job? If memory serves they were both told they were not needed. Both guys went back to the to the good years working with Pickett. Why should we bring in experience assistants to help out these guys? Sounds like another way to help them do there own jobs. They should have never been hired. The job should have given to one of the guys who had experience and then if they failed the Bryant's would have gained experience and would have been the logical next step. As normal in Grundy skip a step for politics and not for the good of the kids...

You have to get coaches who understand those concepts.
