  1. That's what they call having the common touch. I believe most truly great football coaches have it
  2. Thanks Barney, I always found it curious he left and I know Maryville folk talk about him like Bama folk talk about Bear Bryant
  3. I had heard he put he supported all the local programs not just Cleveland, guess I heard wrong. I'm not much for moving around once I get inside so I didn't mind
  4. Question for some of the Rebel folk.... What led to Ted Wilson leaving Maryville and ending up at DB?
  5. You can take Goodpasture off the list, just hired Tyler Turner
  6. Daune Morris would be the first one to tell you he doesn't do it by himself. Ashton Jones will def factor into the running game as well. Every year I hear fans from every other team say Oakland is too 1 dimensional and yet they've won a title 4 out of the last 5 years. The fact that you can't spell Bradley and think Houston would "kill" them tells me all I need to know
  7. I think Page would fare pretty well in 6A. Each title run is pretty special bc it's incredibly hard. Hopefully Page can score one for Middle TN in 5A
  8. Best thing Glencliff can do is to co-op. At least gives their kids a chance of being involved on a team with a hope of making the playoffs
  9. Lol was just my way of turning it around on Barney, don't expect that to happen but it's a entertaining thought seeing what he could do with a roster like that. Oakland is probably one of the very few public schools he'd consider if he came back to coaching HS
  10. I'm a Oakland guy so don't have to sell me on anything I just think it's incredibly difficult to make that big of a jump, even for a coach as good as Creasy. Quarles had a few years to acclimate himself to FCS and went 6-16. If Creasy has his eye on coaching, the Tennessee Tech vacancy is a better chance for success than mtsu would be
  11. Obviously so. Then again, maybe Central's requirements are toO high. Gotta figure there's a good assistant or 2 in the area ready to be a HC
  12. There's a reason why Stevens hasn't been a HC since 2019, how he was allowed to coach at LaVergne for 10 years is beyond me. I know Cummings has had some problems, but if it's down to them, it's a no brainer
  13. Until he struggles to adapt to all the other things that being a HC at the college entail. Like MM said, maybe at the FCS level. Huge personality isn't Creasy
  14. If Central wants to torpedo their football program, hiring Stanton Stevens would be a good way to do it
  15. Exactly. Don't think I can recall of an instance where a coach made the jump from HS to FBS and was successful in doing so. I know some Middle fans have pointed to Insell and Breeden for making the jump to college but Football is a completely different animal
  16. They're breaking ground on new facilities and the fan support is poor bc they got tired of just making a bowl game as the bar set for success The next coach will have to be a go getter while being able to recruit well in-state and across the southeast. I'd be surprised if Creasy even gets an interview
  17. Has more to with that albatross of a contract the athletic department drew up based off of 1 good season. It's the fault of the university for setting the bar too low. MT has too much going for them to go under .500 over the last 20 years
  18. BA has some stuff to fix before they can get a coach of Creasy's caliber on board. MTSU is about to undergo a major upgrade in facilities. Not gonna find a better person than Stockstill but he had a sub .500 record against FBS competition and a poor record of recruiting his own state which has been putting out more and more FBS talent. MTSU can do better
  19. There are going to be better candidates than Creasy who have been successful at the college level. On second thought, maybe Oakland can replace him with GQ.....
  20. With the way Page is growing, they'll find out eventually
  21. Same here, in a good year they'll be in the hunt for the 4th seed, which could be next yr, alot of 3-6A teams will be in rebuild mode
  22. PC is basically the 4A version of Oakland
  23. Oakland's numbers actually are down compared to 15 years ago, but for RuCo schools that's largely bc of the addition of new schools. Until its growth slows, I don't think schools in Middle Tennessee have to worry about numbers at the medium and large school level any time soon. Like you said, being able to have guys go one way is a luxury
  24. I believe the ESPN game (MRA) was the 2nd game of the season With the current state of things in HSFB, I don't really concern myself with rumors, they usually balance themselves out, or they have for Oakland. Last year TT Hill transfer to BA and Morris transferred to Oakland not even 48 hours later.
