STILLNUM1

I wish but dont feel good about it.Feels like Joe had his guy months ago.If somebody like that really put in and was passed up for anybody at the school now or at HV its gonna b ugly.

I think you missed it again.But the main point is lets dont act like bad language is so bad when other coaches have done far worse.And Liberty is another road you dont wanna go down.They hired and loved H.Freeze and his resume was a lot worse than somebody that uses bad language.And I think Liberty is a great school so no hate toward them but lets be real when it comes to sports.Liberty,AC and many more care more about winning than always doing the right thing or caring about morals.And to be fair I dont believe Oak Ridge got rid of Scott because they really cared about the bad language.Im not saying it is fact but it is looking more and more like Joe and some others just didnt like him and found a way to get rid of him.If Oak Ridge hires someone close to Joe than I think it confirms what he was going to do the day he took the AD job no matter what Scott did

Yes exactly. Coaches looking other way and showing kids winning is more important than doing the right thing.Seems a lot worse than bad language

The girls have continued to get better.I would love to see them get healthy and see what they can do.It seems like every time we get one back another one goes down.Another blowout win over Clinton.The streak goes on

Our Wildcats didnt play great again tonight but pulled away and pounded the Dragons.Always fun to watch

I dont think an AC fan wants to go down this road.Dont forget what your coaches allowed, and it is a lot worse than bad language.I personally like the coaches who dont use bad language but in no way do I think its something you fire a coach over.Especially when that coach had no warning or was ever told a few parents had a problem.And lets be real it was only a problem when the player didnt get to play.Funny how that works

This country could use more Marines and less of the type of people worried about grammar on a football message board.You dont have to yell and cuss to get through to these kids but its not gonna hurt them.What hurts them is the parents or parent who dont hold them accountable and blame everyone else

I was told to go back and think about what player or players parents may have been mad about their kid not getting playing time and you will figure out what parents started all this.Anybody close enough to the program also knows Joe wasnt crazy about Scott from the jump.Never heard a reason but just know he wanted someone else.Maybe Joe wanted his staff and Miner to get the job.Maybe he has a past with Scott.Ive never heard a real reason why he didnt like him.Also anybody that was close enough to the bench the last game of season got to witness tempers flaring on sideline with Ast coach and player.Plus some of the parents who complain every week was showing their backside even more knowing it was last game.Until someone shows me any reason to believe otherwise I think it all comes down to Scott wasnt friendly enough,used vulgar language and Joe and admin jumped all over anything they could to get what they wanted anyway.I just hope somehow all sides can come out better because it would be a shame to let a few people ruin it for so many.

Man you really covered some ground wit this board.I bet its the 1st time Gulmire,Pankey and Webb have been on the same list with Rankin.Thats like listing UT-Martin,Carson Newman and Austin Peay coach with Sabin on a list

Yes they have a ton of Oak Ridges 21 staff.So no thanks as of now but I would be open to him coming back down the road.He still has a lot to learn as a HC before I would be comfortable with hiring him here.Not crazy about his staff and dont wanna go back to that.I hope he does great at HV.

I agree with everything you have said but bringing Minor back.He was a good DC and Ive never met anybody around the Ridge that has a bad word to say about him.But we cannot go back down that road with that staff.At HV right now is almost the exact staff that was here minus Joe.We really need someone like Scott who is willing to invest in the youth and middle schools.Someone who is about year around weight lifting and knows how important it is.To me that was what had everyone happy with the hire and we need someone that knows how to do that.I think coaches like the Price twins are great coaches on the field but we have deeper needs than play calling.Scott had to takeover a complete mess and I dont think a lot of people would be happy to bring back that whole staff that left the mess minus Joe.I still wanna here some names of who was crying to admin.This secret stuff is not right and we need some answers.Joe needs to hit a home run because this isnt a great start with him as AD.

Congrats West.Lets go with one of most impressive seasons in 5a since they went to 6 classes.West HC is a really likeable guy so happy for him

Another big win tonight. Go Cats

Another big win tonight.GoCats

Boys looked great again tonight.Love watching them get down.They go hard

I look forward to checking in on this game.My AC buddy has thought they could win in the past and was disappointed.But this yr he thinks there is no way they lose to Greenville.He says the message around the program has not only been to win this game but to physically whip Greenville.I have not seen the Mavs since week 1 but according to most they have huge advantage at QB and think Greenville QB is a liability.But even with a good QB AC plans to pound it down Greenville's throat all night.Ac also feels really good about shutting down the Greenville run game with some great LBs.I dont know if I buy the win big and whipping Greenville physically.But he does have me convinced Mavs win so I say AC 35 Greenville 20.I feel weird picking against the Devils but the confidence on the AC side is real.Good luck to both teams

Coach Ayers and crew have really done a great job this yr.Do you think our offense can get anything going?Most people are picking us to lose big but I think we can hang in there if we hit some big plays

You just love being negative.McMinn is not an awful offense.We just played great defense.Give this team and staff credit for taking us from one of worst years in our history to final 8 in one yr.People love talking about who is and isnt a good team but the fact is who is still standing and we are 1 of only 8.Lets all hope Oak Ridge wins so you are impressed.

Oak RIdge led all night until the last 3 mins or so.The Lady Cats are missing 2 key players for the next 2-5 weeks so they are gonna have to tuff it until then.They was gassed by the 4th qtr.

Well said

No doubt.I am proud of how hard they fought all night.I also thought we really struggled with the wet field and football.We kept throwing those short screens low and dropping passes.Few plays around outside with room for big play and we would just slip trying to cut.How bout that boom big stick by Hey on that last drive.That kid was not gonna let them go down without a fight.Also was proud of Garza moving around in pocket and hitting Rogers for a huge play late.Finally shout out to coach Cummings for some great play calls on 3rd and long that last drive.This team hurts itself a lot and has had a lot of bad luck but never quits and fights till da end.Go Wildcats

Oak Ridge QB had it and the McMinn Co player tied it up like a jump ball in front of ref and somehow gave it to McMinn.Should of never happened because Jai scored play before with half his body in endzone and ref somehow spots him short.Plus 2 plays after fumble calls huge P.foul late hit on Rogers for holding the runner up from running into fence.Wasnt close.And then a huge facemask call that wasnt close to being a facemask.Refs tried their best to take McMinn down the field.And the huge drive by Oak Ridge to get to the 1 they had to overcome at least 3 holding calls.It was bad and after refs ripped off Oak Ridge last yr when they called back the game winning TD in final seconds on an awful call.That was bad but these refs dont need to not be back doing any playoff games

McMinn should have big advantage at QB and the weather looks to favor them.Im thinking McMinn 28 Oak Ridge 13.Oak Ridge will need some big plays through the air to pull the upset.I hear McMinn can stop the run which will be a major factor

unapproved website says Rhea Co has a RB that ran for over 2,000 yds last yr.How has he been this yr and that QB that was a freshman when we played 2 yrs ago.

Ive got Oak Ridge 27 Rhea co 26.Rhea Co has showed they can play with great teams and I think we see that team Friday with the season on the line.After watching the coaches show Im really nervous bout this one.Hopefully we can just play a clean game and not beat ourselves.RWR
