any word on who the new coach will be?

Any news lately? I remember when Coach Watkins was caching there & they were very competitive. Good luck to kids and new coach.

you are right when coach watkins was there they were competive but mark beal made sure that didnt last.

I give the edge to the Hawks. One of the Eagles coaches has transferred to Rossview, and he knows all of the Eagles secrets. I think he will have Rossview prepared. With this knowledge from a former coach it will be hard for NE to be successful.

Winning will become possible for Northeast once they get out of 6-5A.

 

Not to point out the obvious, but they will be heavily challenged to win even one region game this fall. No tradition of winning, young untested rookie head coach, new staff, too small of a talent pool and overwhelming odds just to compete against even against weaker teams that have had the benefit of at least an offseason of cohesion. It just is what it is.

 

If I were them, I would prepare for 2009 season starting today. Use this season for experience purposes only and a chance for everyone to get acclimated to the new regime. In '09, they will at least have the opportunity to play against similar sized schools.

 

Good luck to the Eagles and chance to play with a clean slate.

 

The problem with 09 when they rezone, alot of athletes will go to west creek then for 2 to 3 years northeast will have 3a numbers but be playing 4a I cant see things changing for awhile at northeast but good luck to them

This guy had all the right answers in the paper. He may have a shot in a couple of years if hes allowed some fredom of hiring good coaches. We shall see. Its not about him. Its about how much leverage he is given. I wish him luck. This is truly stepping out on a limb.

 

Lets just be honest same adminastration same players same region 0 and 10 rezoining next year playing 4a with 3a numbers for at least two years 0 and 20 good luck to coach johnson.

No Wingy, do you know of anyone that would apply at this time to start building a program? At this rate for hiring a coach (This must be a TSSAA record for the longest vacancy). If this doesn??™t happen by week after July 4th, NE might as well suspend varsity football for 2008 and put a JV team on the field for local games in the community.

 

I cannot understand why the parents are not protesting at the door of the school system and demanding better accountability. If anything, let the varsity players migrate to other local high schools until this disaster is worked out. It is embarrassing to NE while the clock is ticking away on the season. NE deserve better treatment than this from Montgomery County/Clarksville school system. It not right for the player, parents, and the institution.

 

The reason the parents arent complaing is because they have the coaching staff they want now the parents are running the show thats what they want and they have it.

Was Watkins the former coach at NE? Did he leave or did they fire him? Was interested we played ball together in college.

 

Watkins was the former coach at northeast he resigned at the end of the season I think he was going to be fired if he hadnt though all of the other coaches were asked to turn in their resignations at a later date.

The A.D. at Northeast made a statement today in the paper about hiring a new head coach SHE said they were more concerned about hiring the right person to fit their academic needs and then a coach see all of the other schools have been doing it wrong.

If you want to know what time the scrimmages are ask the black knight. He is the one that scheduled all the spring practices. Or maybe all the colleges that are going to attend. I heard the black night(southerland) has told the guys many colleges are going to attend. Or maybe you can ask one of the 7 dads that are assistant coaches.

 

new developments questionmark1 Northeast now has 8 coaches another dad bought a whistle this weekend.

Newsflash the A.D. and principal at northeast just announced that there is no doubt by Oct 1 2008 they will have a coach in place until then parents and anyone else who has a whistle may show up and coach. Carlton Flatt applied for the job and was told by the administration that if he couldnt bring lester scruggs with him no way. Stay tuned for future announcements

Is Offutt officially the new head coach yet or are we just speculating????? Today on the TSSAA website he has a post on the very top of the bulletin boards trying to hire three new assistant football coaches at Springfield. He can't be Northeast's coach and still be making decisions on who to hire at SHS.

 

I really dont think there is anything to worrie about the way i hear it coach chris southerland and 5 coaches he has hired are leading the eagles thru spring practice so i am sure when the new coach takes over when ever that may be he will have a fine tuned machine

Dosent matter who the coach is if the same administration stays in place no one will ever win at northeast bottom line

I think RV wins this game by a bunch just like last year rv is much better and if anything northeast is worst

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW THE TEAMS FROM CLARKSVILLE WILL BE THIS YEAR

Should be better than last year, but will probably still be down..Depends on a few factors, but i don't expect over .500 for atleast two more years, if then...but to keep it on the topic....They still have a chance to beat Stewart county..

Thanks Gotgame just wanted to know what you thought. From what i have heard from some fans at Houston Co. it could be a long time before Houston Co. wins another game because they are so young now.

Houston stinks but Stewarts freshman are the only players with a winning record against them, so where does that put you?

I mean what bragging rights that last years seniors go out with ...5-34 and one forfiet. Shewwww now that is greatness. Not to mention.. of the 5 wins two were against first year programs, one against "stinky Houston", and two other wins...Not to mention only 2 region wins..Should I say more?..Look buddy just do me a favor...Get the highschool preview book this year read the grey boxes with the records in it and read Stewarts last playoff appearance........(for those unable to view the book it mentions that they never qualified)...Just a prediciton...The book after next year will not change in the aspect.

Gotgame what kind of team will houston co have next year

The NW coaches do a good job and criitcizing them for what goes on in a penalty situation is ludicrous. When teams in Clarksville win they are well coached and when they do not the coaches get maligned. Remember the only schools ever rezoned and diluted are NW-Kenwood and NE. This has happened regularly over the past 9 yrs. In addition Clarksville coaches get little of what they request. There are no jr high programs--So dont be too hard on the coaches at NW--they are trying the best they can in some economic situations that border on more problems. David Lipscomb is a fine school with a great tradition----but there is a reason the public schools have voted out the private for yrs now---- because only an idiot would believe it is on level playing ground. I am quite sure you have visited numerous private schools and admired thier special ed and iep programs for disadvantaged kids--oops forgot they dont recruit special ed kids.- Remember it is not the public schools fighting to keep the privates--it is the privates fighting to stay in--.And for all those that can help NW--then please join the coaching ranks and join NW--or any Clarksville HS--because there are always openings --they are just hard to fill because teaching slots are not tied to coaching slots. So coaches at Clarksville schools are really trying the best they can. Go Nw- but go all Clarksvuille schools.I can promise you if Clarksville schools were only playing sports at three schools---we would never have these conversations I bet.

But no coaches should be cussing atheletes period--and find that hard to believe--and hope it is not true.

Lets give Harpeth some credit they are a much improved team and i think the coaches from rossview will have their team ready to play so this game will go to rossview.

1newwildcat fan--thanks--had heard several were hurt for chs and did not play in jamboree. CHS will be good fb team with all their starters playing. NW made huge improvements in game against Station camp--hopefully can get on a roll. From reading about Rossview--hear they are loaded and thier coaches talking about state champiuonship--so figure the coaches must know or wouldnt talk in papers like that. Also heard NE best running back left and went there--so that is why I say Rossview by 18. MC is hard nosed and should win. CHs if starters back---and Kenwood looking real good early so should win easy.

can someone tell me if all of clarksvilles starters played friday night against mont central

Congrats to my Vikings---good start. Whats the word this week--I say my Vikings by 10 Sat, I dont know much about Rossview but heard they are much improved--so will say Rossview over NE by 18. I say Clarksville and Kenwood and MC also win. Whats everyone else think.

I think Rossview wins this game from what i have heard northeast is down this year.

MICHAEL LIGON (me) will be Coming To An Endzone Near You in 2005.

I THINK (me) WAS SUPPOSED TO BE (ne) for northeast high school where michael plays he is not the kind of person to say something like that to bring attention to himself. He needs to have a great year for northeast or it will be a long year for them playng in 5a good luck to the eagles.

Northwest is young this year but they should be able to compete. Clarksville high will be very competive since they have moved down to 4a they have some key players to replace from last year but they should be able to do that and make the playoffs.Kenwood was much improve last year and looks to make a push to the playoffs. Rossview is still young and maybe a year away but they will be improved. Northeast lost several seniors and moved up to 5a so it could be a long season for them.

How come northwest is not playing northeast this year?
