The 2021 team was by far a better football team in terms of “team”. The 2020 team was certainly more athletic, but not better. I also believe that offensive play calling got better in 2021 due to choking against Nolensville in 2020.

Here's my $0.02 worth..... Far from a powerhouse region, BUT.......other than the number of top tier athletes - Columbia, FC, Spring Hill, and Shelbyville will always have 1 or 2, and sometimes 3 kids that are as good or better than most in the state. Tullahoma, Lawrence Co., & Lincoln Co., sees those top tier athletes less frequently, but they do come through. Travel, gate, and atmosphere will all certainly improve, particularly for Law.Co, LincCo., T-town, and FC.

Barely, or not, a "W" is never measured by the score differential.

true, which is exactly why some are still talking about it. Troll another board cuz your stuff is as fresh as the Sea Man in yesterday's sock. You've been a member on CoachT for a whole 4 days and have nothing but troll posts.

I disagree. Witten calls the offense. Sisk calls the defense. Sisk>Witten. Proven last December

I'd hear my buddy say it over and over again about his coaching days..... a coach's ability should always be measured by what he does with an average athlete. Anyone, even I, can coach the superior athlete, despite, or in spite of themselves(myself). Coaching a far less talented athlete takes talent from the coach. I've watched less talented kids play with much better technique and more aggression, thus making them a better football team than this year's team. I have no doubt, that if given the opportunity, Coach Sisk will remedy the deficiencies that currently exist in the program, hopefully beginning with the most glaring positions on the field....QB's and offensive line. Play calling does not translate to completions and first downs, but properly coaching said positions may yield better offensive performances.

Tullahoma should win tonight, but stranger things have happened. Hopefully we'll quickly realize the need for the addition of a couple of coaches to the staff. Tullahoma most definitely has a need for an offensive line coach, and a QB coach, as is apparent every Friday night. It's been painfully obvious that neither position gets coached. I understand the line coach retired and was not replaced, but what about the QB's? What's their excuse?

. The Wing T can be very effective with simply running a sweep, trap, boot, and counter. You run variations off those four base plays. I've seen it installed over a summer and implemented well in one year. Now grant it you have to have the discipline of actually practicing it so you may be right that Tullahoma wouldn't have been able to install it in a year. The Wildcats definitely have the personnel that is more suited for it than what they are trying to do now. It'll be interesting to see what offense they run next year. Hopefully there are some changes on that side of the ball. This is way too funny!!! I hadn't even wondered where Shasteen was until this post......and you couldn't have nailed it any better. lmao

Bratcher and Delaughter are just like Fulton.

There wasn't a school in the state that would've "throttled" Tullahoma last year. Not in 6A, or 5A, or 3a for that matter. Beat, maybe, but not throttled or beaten the brakes off of. Coaching, if anything, might've gotten in the way, but even then, it didn't get in the way on 12/4/21. Just saying. You really feel that way? I watched a team last season that could have easily competed with Oakland, Summit, or Maryville. Only depth of talent would have caught up with Tullahoma. First teamers on first teamers, I'm confident Tullahoma would have stood toe to toe with any of them.

I too watched that game, that night, after watching T-town beat Betsy. Tullahoma could have easily hung with both of those teams. 11 on 11, I would've taken taken Tullahoma. Tullahoma would've ONLY been beaten when it came down non-starters, as is evident with what we've fielded this year. I know there was NOT a team in the state that would've "beaten the brakes off of Tullahoma" last season. That's a fact. But then again, we'll never know.....so this is pointless.

Most of what you say is reasonable and makes sense, except for........."No Way they Win a St Champ in 5A last season." In fact, they could've not only won 5A, but could have competed against both 6A teams last year. FACTS.

@PercyPeabody, I'm curious to know why you dropped the Cascade logo?

We'll agree to disagree. This year's team is getting flipper slapped by those baby seals...

I stand corrected, thank you. And yes, it's hard to win a ball game when you can't score.

I understand the logic, but I'm not convinced that those teams were worse than this team simply based on their "O'fer" record back then. I remember those teams producing points, something this team has yet to do. In 2015 the team scored a total of 105 pts on the season. In 2016, 166 points. In 2022 through 8 games, 51 pts.

I've seen him play QB. 3 times this year, as a matter of fact, and several times last season. He's an athletic kid, but not a QB. If you watched any 2nd half games or JV games last year, you knew then, that he's not a QB. My point is, you don't leave healthy athletic kids on the sideline. Find a place for him. I've watched a coach of two on that staff turn kids from a backup at one position into a starter at another. Kid has to want it too. Good observation and analysis. Well said. Some strong and valid comments. I believe youth and inexperience, from a coaching standpoint, are more visible offensively because of the loss of talent that could cover up coaching mistakes. Of the 3 aspects of the game, Tullahoma's weakness is definitely the offense.

I look for Ttown to be geared up and ready for this one. Kids have had a week off from being in the classroom, so the only focus should've been on beating Montgomery Central. After last week's changing at the offensive helm, maybe we can consistently muster up a little more offense.

repeated bad decisions come from the lack of coaching, taking coaching, or he's simply out of position. Either way, it's the position coach/coordinator/HC to make the change or correct the problem. Watching the offense has been atrocious. I'm sure this is a humbling experience for those involved, particularly those coaches that weren't around when the team was 0 and whatever a few years ago. I would guess that coaching was rather easy, or easier the last few years, and now it's time to start coaching again.

Sometimes, as is the case now, kids just aren't as good as the previous class. Last year, Tullahoma was bringing 20# sledge hammers to the demo parties, this year they're bringing 12 oz craft hammers.....a huge difference. It does appear that the QB's lack a basic understanding of the position. It may be coaching, or simply he's just out of position.

I've been in T-town's stands 3 times this season, and my observation is this; Nowhere near the talent on the field this season as last year, or the 2 seasons before then. It's painfully obvious that the offense is NON dimensional right now. Play calling is suspect. Athletes appear to be out of position. Defense is back to giving up crucial downs. Kicking game is weak. Sometimes programs are full of good kids, just not athletic, or athletic enough to compete. I keep hearing, and I witnessed it last season, about how much playing time these kids got, and it's true, I watched them play much of the second half all year, and I'm assuming most, if not all, played JV games too. I believe that experience should have contributed to a more competitive team this year, but it hasn't. I can't imagine that the coaching has changed that much from last year, so maybe it's just as simple as these guys aren't as good as last year's guys. No parent wants to hear that their kid is not as good as the kid that was in that same position the previous season, but it's a reality. It's what's going on right now. I'm guessing these guys have had the same coaching as last year's group, so what gives?

I’m wondering how it is you’re on coacht when you should be coaching a football game. Kickers, isn’t it?

Agree with all except Shelbyville, and FC. There's never a reason why Shelbyville should ever be down. Have you seen the kids over there? Those on and off the field? More talent than the surrounding areas with the exception of Lewisburg, and yet they fail to compete. FC should have more successful seasons than not, and they too have failed to utilize the athletes they do have. Tullahoma, and for the most part, Coffee Co. and Moore Co. do a good job with athletes that they do have, which are typically quite a bit fewer than Shelbyville and FC.

From what I know, there’s a perfect candidate on the staff already, so why go elsewhere? I’m not sure about the others, but the one I know is more than qualified, he just proved it to the entire state.

An outside candidate is not a good option.
