  1. Old adage of coaching...what you see on the field and on the film is the result of coaching....good and bad.
  2. Is this the same game that didn't play until 1 am b/c of Kentucky's jinxed up rules? Good move Alcoa....I consider Kentucky to be like Memphis.. I wish I could post my "dirty" pronounciation of Kentucky! :;
  3. Tennessean story Would this have anything to do with it????
  4. The kid wasn't hurt. Why is it a "story"? Maybe Donathan needs a blog to expound upon it, but I'd like to see the Football forums be about football, not car wrecks where no one got hurt, in fact there is a whole lot of silliness and off topic material that should be transferred to the open discussion.
  5. Didn't claim to be making that decision, just not sure we need a thread with little information about a kid that wasn't hurt in an accident... and of course the other threads are relevant to High school football in 2006. TC Jennings is a "where are they now" thread. Yesterday's news.
  6. excellent point....Do the Tigers have a game changing quarterback?
  7. I heard that Tom, Dick and Harry had applied.
  8. Was he the coach before Hammontree?
  9. Purely 2nd hand info....but the reasoning sounded logical. I can't really comment beyond that.
  10. That would be a shocking surprise.....Made a phone call and it looks like pretty reliable info....Still shocking.
  11. Let me teach all of you a new word: Nepotism. Mr. Williams the AD/principal would have to retire under most county policies for one of his offspring to be the head coach....I don't know about Shelbyville.
  12. Don't be ignorant yourself. I've spoken to Taylor and know enough about Shelbyville to tell you without question that He could have continued as coach for as long as he desired...
  13. I'm no fan of the private schools, especially the one created as a direct result of integration of public schools....but your post and accusation is out of line. USJ is probably guilty of some recruiting that can't be proved (which is like speeding when no cop is around to ticket you) but this is an administrative problem with an unfortunate result for those young men who gave there all.
  14. ...and John Allen isn't the head coach.
  15. Any word on whats happened in Gainesboro? They are advertising for a new HC on the TSSAA bulliten board.
  16. Success at the Jr. Pro and Middle school level doesn't mean success in high school. You/Dekalb needs to consider there opponents at all levels and the quality of coaching, as well as the quality of the opponents coaching.
  17. Defensive line coach in the CFL and I believe he no longer has a wife.
  18. Unbelievable. RESPONSIBILITY. Lets spoon feed the little kiddies to prepare them for life. If ANY high school kid can't pass high school, its usually (99.9999%) the fault of the kid and his parents. No head coach in the state can magically motivate a student to desire academic excellence....I'm sure next thought will be "sit them down for bad grades", that might work until the losses pile up and the "sit" (ie. fire) the coach for lack of performance. If and kid wants to go to college, then the responsibilty of there PARENTS & STUDENTS is clear...encourage hard work in the classroom, discourage the notion that athletics is the "free ticket". It isn't. Athletes and there parents are responsible for balancing the academic and athletic demands placed on these children.
  19. Heard from a BGAster today that the HC should be named next week....No name was offered to me.
  20. Them there emails started popping around right after I posted that this morn!
  21. Eye of newt hair of frog leg twig of virgin pine... Stir the pot for ..... Reliable rumor......nuff said.
