    I think it is very possible FC will win 7 games. I never laughed at your prediction. I am just implying that FC will not have a losing season like in the past and that .500 isn't a losing season. In my opinion if FC has close game with La Vergne  or wins the game, FC will win rest of the regular seasons games if they stay healthy. I have been laughed at for saying that and been told that my screen name fits LOL. 

    You where called delusional when you said Scott Smith would have success at FC. I'm still right about that one. I think Mac will have success running this new and improved offense that FC has never seen before . My only concern is at what cost does the success come.

  2. Radio station said its McCurry about 3 hours ago.

    Well if this is so I guess FC will be going from the ole Miss mascot and adopt Idaho's. I couldn't resist that one. McCurry will do well there, but I can't get past the character issues and support that hire. What are we teaching our kids? That you can do whatever you want as long as you win? If this is there call I will have to find another team I can support. I just think there is more to high school football than wins and losses. Guess I will know for sure tomorrow.
  3. Will the new coach have the opportunity to hire assistants or will the current assistants be in place.

    It would be a good idea if they let the new coach pick his staff, but that has not been the way it has been done in the past at FC.  If they are smart they will allow the new coach to at least pick his coordinators, but FC being smart is a big IF these days. 

  4. I have heard some names thrown out in town.  Don't know if any of them are even interested.  I don't think there is a shot at getting Carson even if the Siegel job was not available, but with it being open I would say he is out for sure.  I have heard McCurry, which I personally think is a no go due to past indiscretions, but who know I am no expert.  I know that would not be my choice.  I have heard several assistant coaches at other programs mentioned as well, but will not bring up any names because they might not be interested.  Some are former Rebels and some have played the Rebels a lot in previous years. I have also heard a name of a current Rebel assistant.  My vote is for one of these up and comers to start a new trend in Franklin County.  I would hope that a new coach whomever it is will be in place by Christmas so they can start working on a staff.

  5. Reed is too smart to take it!

    I did not say he would take it, I said he would be a good choice IF they could lure him away from Huntland.  There are several other good choices who have been at FC in recent history as well.  Brewer, Roberson, Christian, and Jennings would all be great choices too.  All of them have been coordinators at FC besides Roberson, and he was the Head Freshman Coach that won with the same kids that Smith could not win with.

  6. I am almost certain that McCurry never will get a call from FC. I don't think they would have fired Smith if they didn't already have a deal  set up with who they want. Leads me to believe Carson is their man.

    For once we actually agree on something.  I hope that Franklin County would not give McCurry a call.  Unless they need a fresh coat of paint on the field house that is.  I do however disagree with Carson being their man.  While I agree he would do a good job at Franklin County I just don't see him leaving Rutherford County to become one of the lowest paid head coaches in the state.  Maybe if FC came off some money and let him bring in a staff of his choosing, but I don't see that happening.  But we did agree on part of it, so lets build on that Mr. Marshall.

    Maybe some are out there that knows the program and the kids. Current or former assistants that would be interested. 

  7. You think it is Smith and not talented enough yet? 

    I think they are graduating a group that went undefeated as Freshmen, and have a group of Juniors that beat Riverdale's Freshmen in the Lions bowl and had only one loss that year.  Smith has had two years to develop those young men and they have gotten worse.  The talent is as good as it has always been if not better and they are not given a chance to win.  So yes, I think it is Smith. 

  8. Inside source says Scott Smith will be dismissed Monday.  Has anyone else heard this?

    1 out of 7 chance of getting it right, which Monday and what year?  If it was Monday 10/31/2016 then I think you got my hopes up for nothing.  If it is another Monday please let me know so I can continue to be hopeful.

  9. they need someone that runs a wide open spread offense that excites players and gets them out to play.. also needs to be young so he can relate to the players bc a school that size with that many athletes shouldnt be that bad

    Take Scott Smith from Franklin County please.  His offense is wide open.

  10. Just listened to the interview. Don't get me wrong, I too sit in the stands and second guess coaches. But I'm not suggesting a change in head coaches, I'm wanting see more investment in the entire football program from middle school up. I want to see the middle school programs come together as one team (instead of two) and begin running the High School's system. Buy into the program instead of going on their own agenda.

     

    I'm reminded of hearing people bicker a while back about removing a head coach because his system was considered to be behind the times. Well they got their wish with a promise of change going forward, with a modern system and more excitement...And I believe the head coach they replaced was named Phillip Fulmer. That rushed decision backfired and affected the program for years. So if you wish for change, be careful what you wish for.

    It has happened at FC Before too.  People wanted a change from the I that Mantooth ran so you get Britton and Atkins.  They both lasted two years each.  Then after people are tired of the Wing T with Carr they go get another "spread Guy".  Wonder when people will learn.  I for one am tired of beating this dead horse, so I will not be posting my feelings on here any more since everyone seems to get upset with me that I feel a big problem is that the powers that be decided to out two home town guys that actually cared about Franklin County and its kids.  I think mistakes have been made and will probably continue to be made.  I don't think Smith was the right guy for the job, but no one ever asked me my opinion.  I will continue to hope that the kids do well and pray that the leadership comes to their senses and finds a better mentor for these young men.  As I said I am finished posting for now on the topic.  maybe after the season I will decide to make my opinion known again.

  11. Was not referring to any player as a hot wheel. Was referring to FC defense being over powered by the same 2-3 plays. You would think that FC would make adjustments.

    I don't know that Smith has ever known how to make adjustments. When his teams are winning because they are a private school that recruits the best athletes, and then he lives off that easy championship for the rest of his career why would he need to make any?  FC needs to go ahead and cut its losses and find a coach that can do something with the players they have.

  12. FC should be a force in that region... Terrible decisions by administration on the SS hire.. They need to go after somebody that can win.. My sources tell me there are 2 candidates in mind.. MM and TM....

    I don't know that FC would ever hire MM.  They have had several chances and have not yet.  Don't see it ever changing.  Which I think is good.
