  1. I am not going to go into why Covington does not send more players to Power 5 schools, we all know why that is, and it really doesn't matter. Multiple onside kicks.....hmmm... did Haywood not do the same thing on Friday? Do you not think there will be teams in the playoffs that do it as well? Might want to figure that one out. If it happened week 1 and still bit you in the rear in week 9 then it needs addressing...You are speaking directly to my point about the coaching staff not putting the players in the best place to be successful.
  2. You can like the current coaching staff all that you please, but the fact of the matter is that the previous coach had no problem beating 3A, 4A, 5A schools yearly. Clearly I know that Haywood is a 4A school, and you make my point by bringing up the fact that Covington beat them just 2 short years ago, even with this same staff! Are you telling me that Haywood has assembled a team that is 50 points better than Covington in two short years???? Haywood is a great team, I agree, but there is 0.0% chance that they are 50 points better than Covington over the past two season. Talent wise they match up very similarly. Munford finally has the talent to hang with Covington this year, and what happens, an absolute embarrassment happens. That is not the Covington of old, which you should know since you have been going to games since 1982... You are also making my case bringing up Alcoa. Was that not under the previous coach? I can assure you that Alcoa would not need a late score to win by 7 over the past few years. I am not running down your team. I respect Covington and respect the tradition that it has. I have simply stated that they are getting embarrassed by teams that have equal or more talent than them. If you can't see that then I do not know what to tell you. Maybe take the rose colored glasses off and you might see it.
  3. I hate to break it to you, but east nashville will absolutely embarrass Covington. It will be a rerun of last night and apparently the Munford game as well. East Nashville has the athletes to match up with Covington and thus, will win easily. That game will not be close. Covington will never be expected to beat Alcoa, that is a fairy tale, but Covington went to back to back state title games not that long ago. That should be their goal every year. They can beat up on their region teams that they play, simply because Ripley, millington, bolivar, and whoever else do not have the horses to beat them, but Haywood and Munford do have those horses and you saw those results. An absolute beatdown by both teams.... Maybe that is the new Covington, I dont know. I simply am on the outside looking in. But It was not that long ago when I would make the drive to Covington and watch them beat really good teams in dominating fashion. I hope they get back to that. I am a fan of good football and Covington used to play a bunch of good football.
  4. Covington can beat teams with far less talent, but they simply cannot beat teams with equal or more talent than them. They run an offense with zero scheme and the coaching staff does very little to put the team in advantageous situations when playing better teams. It seems as if the game plan last night was to run the ball up the middle and then hopefully use that to open up other parts of the offense. A blind man could have seen that Covington was not going to run the ball up the middle consistently on Haywood. The Covington coaching staff is fine but they are in over their heads when it comes to trying to out scheme a team better than them. They simply cannot do it. It’s been that way since Coach Wheeler left for East Tennessee. I’m not sure Covington has won a game where they were at a talent disadvantage since then. haywood is a great team, and there is no reason to hang your heard when losing to them, but I expect more out of Covington as an outsider and I’m sure their fans do as well. If 8/9 regular season wins is the goal, then you will get that ever year at Covington. If state championship appearances is the goal, good luck. That’s not happening.
  5. Covington will not line up and run the ball right at Haywood with any success. If that is the game plan, then Covington needs to be prepared for a long night. I suspect that will not be the game plan, but I also do not believe that Covington will be able to throw the ball with much success either. I look for this game to go much like last years contest did. Haywood big. Covington is a good team, but Haywood is better than anyone Covington has seen this year.
  6. Haywood will win this one going away. I think Haywood is better than they were last year and Covington is probably about the same. I would be shocked if this is close going into the second half. Haywood wins big big!
  7. Could be more actually. Covington goes 4 and out to start the game. Runs roughly 1.5 minutes of clock. Gets ball back with a fumble recovery. Scores on 3rd or 4th play of drive with long run. Roughly 1 minute of clock. Munford get ball, 5-6 minute drive results in TD. Onside kick and they recover. Another 6-7 minute drive that ends in TD. Covington 3 and out results in punt. Roughly 2 minutes of clock passes. Munford gets the ball on their own 2, drives it down inside the 10 and half ends without them scoring. That’s your first half and Covington had the ball maybe 5 minutes of total possession time. And I’m being generous with the time amounts. munford gets ball to start 2nd half and scored on long drive. Covington fumbled the kick so munford gets it again and scores again in a 3-4 minute drive. Covington got the ball back with maybe 4 minutes left in the 3rd down 28-7 and finally got more than 1 first down so maybe they had possession of the ball for 10 of first 36 total minutes played. It was not a lot at all.
  8. Agree. Covingtons offense was on the field less than 7 min of game time until the 4th quarter. That is not a good recipe for your defense in week 1.
  9. Agree! Munford OL played awesome early and kept it up after that Covington defense was on the field for 90% of the game.
  10. I can't speak on that directly, but I would doubt the last coach was worried about playing Haywood. Haywood was down then and Covington was rolling.
  11. I can't speak on Coach Calhoun. Don't know much about him, but I have watched Covington from a distance over the past few years and I have been less than impressed with their coach. If they go into a game where the talent disparity is even, they almost always lose. Kirby loses more evenly matched games than most. The old coach who left a few years back would almost never lose evenly matched games and hardly lost to superior opponents.
  12. They ran the old fashioned wing t, tho not very well. Munford did a great job of keeping covingtons offense off the field but even when they were on it they didn’t do much. I heard rumors that Covington had been running some different offense all off-season and then went back to wing this week. Not sure how true that is, but if that is the case then the coach needs to answer for that. Covington looked very poorly coached and this is not the first time I have said that over the past few years. Not sure what is going on up there in Tipton Co but Covington has too much talent to be getting embarrassed like they have the past few seasons…
  13. What a complete and utter butt kicking munford just handed out. Covington looked terrible. Not sure what is going on up there but this was an embarrassment of epic proportion.
  14. Yea I will be shocked if this is a 21 point game. Munford is legit. If I was setting spreads I would have Munford favored based off of the scrimmage season and the "jamboree" each played. I look for munford to shock the Chargers this Thursday.
  15. Listen I'm not saying that JR Kirby can't coach. I am saying that they lose games now that they did not lose under Marty Wheeler. How many state championship game appearances does JR Kirby have? I rest my case...
