Great post! Every year we hear about how great Greenback is and its the best team they've had in years and everyone in 1A better watch out....then come the playoffs...we heard how Coalfield made it to the state championship game during the worst football for 1A in the east in as long as people can remember...so what does that say about Greenback? I'm excited to see the Coalfield-Greenback rivalry stick around.

Didn't you pick Greenback over Coalfield in the playoffs last year?

No one said he was afraid of losing to Coalfield. But from what I here about irate parents after losing to Coalfield this past year, you'd be stupid to not assume that made his decision easier. All we've heard from the past few years is how much better a team Greenback had than Coalfield, but at the end of the year Coalfield proved over and over again that better doesn't always convert over to wins. Our kids had a lot of heart and played their butts off so quit taking their success this year away from them by saying it was the worse season in East Tennessee football that you can remember. I hope he is successful in all he does in life.

I don't think he was acting like an idiot at all. If they beat Coalfield this past year, I'd bet money he'd still be the head coach today. I understand family and all, but success makes it easier to stay. Good luck to him and Greenback in the future.

I disagree with NCS being the obvious second best team.

Congrats to all the players who earned their way to the All-State team!

Merry Christmas from the Coalfield Yellow Jackets! May you all have a safe and happy holiday with your families and a blessed New Year as well!

Thank you for the prayers. He missed his junior year after surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff. He dislocated the same shoulder in Week 0 against Copper Basin and played all year with that injury. I'll be praying for a successful surgery and recovery for your son as well.

Thank you for the prayers.

Thank you

Just wanted to let you know that his surgery is scheduled for December 30. I'll let you know how it goes. I'd appreciate your prayers for a safe surgery!

Lake County fans sound like Copper Basin fans...

Thank you for the compliments...he has a heart that can be matched by no one.

Congrats again to the Coalfield football team on the most successful season in school history...that Silver trophy will look great in the trophy case and you should all be proud of your accomplishments...to the four seniors, this chapter of your life is over so its time to open another...I hope all of you pursue your dreams and have happy, healthy and successful lives....and to 34...I am one proud dad and I love you very much.

Thanks...same to you and your family...it was great meeting you...hopefully we can get together again at next years game.

This thread is pointless now I agree.

No offense, but Lake County would not beat Coalfield.

Thank you and yes there are several that are after him...he's weighing his options on his future.

Thanks Bass...

Thanks Rudy...
