I don’t know why this is still going on but when they were in 2a it was the coaches 1st year and I bet if they hadn’t moved up to 3a they would have not have just made it to the 3 rd round but would have gone to state . Would of could of right? But anybody can coach the talent that alcoa has. Soo one more time . If all the players zoned for Austin east went to Austin east we would be unstoppable. Kids are going to central now that’s why Fulton is not as good. It takes a great coach to coach up not just coach talent . Enjoy ALCOA!
AE the last few years have been successful and competitive even to alcoa . True they don’t recruit like other schools do . However, if all the players that were zone for AE went to AE then they would be a powerhouse like alcoa.
They have been more successful then some teams in Knoxville. They may not have won a championship in years like Alcoa but they have had a winning seasons.
That’s what coach Phillips was trying to do . He had to coach up the kids that he had . The ones that stayed true . I wish Good luck to the next coach .
Coach Phillips did a great job at AUstin East and will be missed. He and his staff worked hard to get the program where it is today .He helped get a lot of kids in college and he really cared a lot about the kids as young men and as athletes . He wanted them to succeed not only on the field but in the classroom . Wishing nothing but the best for his future.
I totally agree just about anyone can coach talent. I would like to see some of these coaches coach at Austin east. Phillips got coach of the year not coach of the best players on a team.
There are several teams that have players play both sides of the ball and they win.Not getting those transfers as much anymore hurts. It’s not as hard to coach talent.;
Well a good coach can coach talent any day but a great coach will take what they have and coach them up. Fulton is a great example. Fulton is not getting everybody else’s kids anymore.
I shouldn't have said "punch". cheap shots in the pile etc.. agree a lot of personal fouls for greenville and I ageee early the score is not what they expected . But! AE is good !!! We Know!!
