Your talking Wing  T blocking schemes. Terminology can differ from playbook to playbook but possibly get same results with different techniques. 

Those are not exclusive to the wing-t.  I am referring to more of a single back or two back set with no motion from the tailback. 

Wanted to hear peoples' take on lineman having rules on gap scheme plays.  

Some teams have hard fast rules(Gap/Down/Backer) (Gap/Down/On) where others do not. 

Also be interested in opinions on pulling guards in gap scheme. Single back power? buck sweep?

Well, has anyone watched Clinton during Spring Practice? I've heard from a couple of people that they are loaded with talent and have the potential of having a special year. 

How has the defense looked? That's what my main concern is this year. 

I had a friend who has been to almost every practice. He said they do seem to have a ton of potential in terms of having talent, and the defense seems to be doing well even though it is just spring. I think the important thing for this team is the battle between the ears.  I think it is going to be important for this team to set realistic, achievable goals week in and week out to strive to be the best Clinton they can be.  It will be more about blocking out how good this team is "supposed" to be and the actions that take place on Fridays. My friend overheard people at practice saying "just be us" and "do your job". If they can be humble and driven relentlessly, they can win enough games to make it to post season and host a playoff game in Nov. and that is a goal I'd like to see this team get to. 

Prayers for his family and friends. Willie was always a class act. May he Rest In Peace

Me too. I had faith in Coach Gaddis and he got us a good coach to take us to Championships.

Now is time to come together again and WIN BABY!

I would love to know exactly what was said or done to make Coach X so mad. 

From what I have heard it was multiple things over time that caused the situation to unfold.  People tell me that X would complain about Keith's toxic nature towards players on the team.  X's points whether unfounded or not may of been valid, but to display the anger after a game in front of kids is the wrong way to approach the situation

It's good to know that you're serious and I don't expect you to divulge your source, but how accurate do you think your source is?

 

I heard the next HC is Dwight Hundley

Not to many rockstar ILBs at WHS in 1999 like yourself.... 

Who doesn't know you? You averaged like .5 tackles per game. Coach Rogers loved you though

I don't know, some would argue that it's much darker now.

Not shocked you did though...I remember you making all kinds of joke like that in HS

He’ll be there tonight but you won’t get the answers to those questions but I’m sure he’d love to hear your opinions on the subject. I directed at least 8 people on Saturday to him. For anybody who knows him, he’s very approachable and I’m sure he’d love to speak to you. Tell him Little brother sent you.

darn right I will stand up for David Clary and Coach Gaddis. RWR! Coach Gaddis has been good to me. Clary works his bottom off to bring the Oak Ridge Community Wildcat sports,

Awesome show of loyalty Willie!

Ah I know I look old for my age but can’t I be Gaddis’s younger brother? He’s 12 years older than me. I’ve never considered myself to be a media guy but thank you for listening. 
One of the differences between what I do and what keyboard people such as yourself do is I am willing to sign my name to my thoughts and opinions. Same with live radio. It’s out there for all to hear. What’s your name by the way and how do you know things ? 

What a classic "show your face" comment DC.  You don't look old, its the idea that you feel the need to stand up for Joe just like Willie.

That is the farthest thing from the truth and your sources are incredibly wrong or just starting to stir things up. The job officially closes Sunday. There are between 40 and 50 applicants for the job from all over Tennessee and the country. They will begin the process next week. Coach Gaddis has no intentions of being the coach and he loves what he’s doing now. Feel free to call or visit him. His door is always open. 
David Clary

DC you need to focus on the radio and stop acting like your Gaddis’s older brother. All you know is what joe tells you and everyone knows that Joe sells bull all day long. The truth is that many have already turned down the offer to coach and the job is not what it used to be anymore. He is more worried about stealing a coach from a neighboring high school up I-75 in CC or in Clinton. 
 

typical media personality. Always the one who knows the most. Focus on the radio and leave those that buy their printer ink by the barrel alone! 

No I haven't

Rumor in the community is that the fedora is resigning soon... can 92Dragon give more details?

I heard that too...

It’s crazy to me that everyone keeps going towards the “big names” and completely overlooking a juggernaut already on staff. Kevin Day was with Scott at West in 2014, coached college for some time and then came back to work with Scott. He could keep what offense has already been put in place and has the brain for the job. Worth considering in my opinion

He must have been encouraged to play somebody non region.  He said on tv interview that they were going to schedule "cupcakes"  for non region games the last 2 years. He said some wins would help their confidence and their "recruiting"   He actually said "cupcakes"  and "recruiting" several times on the TV interview.  Lol

By the looks of this schedule cycle, his region games seem to be the cupcakes. Maybe someone convinced him making it to the post season is better than a winning record…

doesn’t hurt that all he may need is one region win to lock in a post season spot. heck, with this schedule he could finish 4-6 and be the region champs

Let me tell all of you this. You wont find a better kid. A more respectable kid then Malaki Dowell. He makes really good grades.  Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves trying to say him not getting award because of character or grades. He is not a hood rat. 

This seems a bit misread. I don’t think folks were making fun of the kid but simply asking/stating what may be used as judging criteria. Just cause he didn’t get it doesn’t mean he’s a “hood rat”. I may try to avoid the term “hood rat” in the future

Young Buck, I have been asked to and have sent in a nomination ballot every year since the late 90s.  

And although I haven't been one of the selection committee members, I am friends with a couple who are part of that process.  Just because I am retired from active media doesn't mean that I don't still have friends in media and coaching.  

But whatever floats your boat, YB.  

My apologies 

2 minutes ago, HTV said:

That is correct.  Contrary to popular belief it's not an award given to those who receive the most "votes".  Media and coaches nominate individuals, and those nominations are tabulated and then the semi-finalists selected. From there an independent committee makes the selection, and none of those can have any ties to schools or nominees.    

It's not a popular vote.  

Thanks again Bill for filling us in once again on a process you have never taken part in before but no a guy who has.  We will take your word for it.  Hope this doesn't get me ignored

Yes.  the vast coordinated conspiracy was succesfuly executed.  WTH are you talking about?  A bunch of reporters vote.  They're all biased, and most of the have only seen their little world.  No one cares enough about it to conspire or cheat.  Every year there are winners you could argue, and no one cares.  Get over it. They're all good players.  No one stole anything.

Let me be the first to apologize for having my own opinion that's different than yours.  Should of know mine was wrong and yours was right to begin with. That's my bad 

12 minutes ago, HTV said:

Believe what you will, but that's not how the process works. 

Didn't they give this award out in years past before the post season or right at the beginning?

Mr. Football is an award based on the regular season and is selected before the playoffs begin. 

Bishop was absolutely deserving. He didn't steal anything. 

People and TSSAA can say that they only use the regular season to chose but I'm not buying it. 60% of the winners' team won the state(1,2,3A) and it really seemed like Latham was passed on so that the 'regular season" aspect of this award could be preserved. Just my take

West wins 21-7 as Chandler's D' Fence hold the Page offense to one score
