You have no idea. Worse than you think.

Except Halstead is a good coach who kids want to play for apparently.  West is a lunatic who scared the kids away from wanting to play.  

It must suck to be you. Trash talk a coach that routinely bought players cleats, gave some money to eat on and drove 2 all the way to Kansas for a visit. Also his offense went to the playoffs 4 straight years. Coach Daniels offense got shut out by Sycamore and his defense got hammered by East Hickman. He put the Nose back to return kicks and a lineman at QB. Terrible coach and a very petty human being. The entire team and parents are glad he's gone. Looking forward to seeing how much better the team will be. 

Wes Proctor, great guy and coach,  probably won't be coaching this year. I believe he's expecting another baby. Coach Hobbs will be! 

The players that make it through the summer with Halstead will be ready for football season!

Glad we finally got a good coach.  Wenning and Boyd made a good hire.  

If you didn't like West you won't like Halstead. That's who taught West a lot about coaching.

Anybody heard anything on this yet?

Gary Halstead

I've talked to other parents and if he is even considered to return as a coach that will be the last day they allow their boys to play.  He's unstable and a terrible example for kids that age.  I still can't believe they let him coach so long.  

Are you talking about the parents he sat with every game in the stands or the players that ran over to hug him after every game? There's no need to make things up. The program has enough issues as it is

Are they not letting Coach Daniel come back to his original spot in the school system?  Not sure they were better when the coaching additions/subtractions happened.  They were shut out in a couple of games by bad teams the 2nd half of the season, but they did give up fewer points down the stretch.  East Hickman was bad and scoring only 20 against them is not better.  But, it was a tough situation for everyone involved. 

Haven't heard about whether or not he'll stay at the school. He's not a teacher so there's no telling what they'll do with him.

They tried to hire a couple of coaches.  One didn't want it because of the insurance situation in the county.  The other had something from his past that showed up.  Maybe they should just let Daniels be the coach.  I think he did a good job after he got rid of West and brought his buddy from Dickson to call the offense.  

Broadway is a good coach but doesn't want to come back. They've already said Coach Daniel isn't coming back for obvious reasons. West was asked to come back but he isn't. 

Tough job for whoever takes it. 

Coaching a "successful" season at Cheatham is not impossible. Coach Finley pushed through hard times and had good seasons... Hatley took less than 30 kids to the playoffs. It just takes hard work from all of the coaches and good support from the parents. They went from 0-10 to hosting a playoff game in 3 years. They have good tough kids. Now they need a good tough coach.

They should have hired Michael Jackson in 2013 when him, Hatley, and Jakobik interviewed for the job at central office.  When he was here our teams were strong and winning playoff games.  We beat Fairview when him and Cody was coaching here.  We get killed now every time we play them.  We led the state in rushing in 2012 too.  My son was one of the linemen on that team.  

You had a son on the 2012 team and the 2019 team? 

I'd say most Fairview fans would agree that the 2012 team couldn't beat any team they've had since. Especially on the defensive side. Then add a few studs running the ball. Hard to beat. A few years ago they almost beat Fairview but the special teams were terrible that game. Killed us. 

The 2012 Cheatham team was obviously good. Physically beat people up on the line. Until this year Cheatham hasn't had a line that big or strong. 

Also the region now plays much better competition in the playoffs. 

None of that should matter since Coach Daniel said he's the first coach to come through Cheatham County that taught proper technique and prepared kids for college the right way. 

What number was your kid?

As said in the previous thread this county will never hire a quality head coach again. The current HCs in the county wouldnt cut it anywhere else. 

Add to the fact that the sport is dying in the county. All three high schools have 90 total kids playing combined. 

People said that 5 years ago and Eric Hatley walked in and took Cheatham to 4 straight playoff runs. Including a home playoff game. Under Hatley more players got offers to college than the previous 5 coaches combined. Also led 3A in rushing two years in a row. It'll take a coach that's willing to put in a lot of work.

Having two small schools 10 min apart hurts numbers. They need to combine Cheatham and sycamore. You'll see 80+ players on the same sideline. 

Halstead is no longer coaching. Been talking about it for a while. 

If Coach Carter applied he should get it. Good guy that the kids actually respect. But he seems to be pretty busy at Cheatham Middle. 

Good luck Pearl. Let #3 get loose!

Not looking too deep. Just calling it like I see it. I personally want Tony and Twin to go get a ring. I wanted Tony to choke the ref when he tried to call timeout before halftime. That shouldn't happen. Especially a game that important

Man hammer I have NEVER seen so many sack riders on one post. Do yall let everyone jump on the train playoff time? 

So if yall pick your team to win that's fine. When other people pick your opponent they're "sack riders"? Could be that Alcoa is just the best 3A team in the state. FACTS!!!

21-19 Pearl 

19-14 East

Keep thinking that @crow6424 The mistakes was cleaned up and even with their QB and WRs back PC wont throw the ball much. I think it will be another low scoring game. We got nothing to lose!

Better get the offensive line ready. Pearl owned the line of scrimmage the whole game.

We are not focused on last year or two years ago. This team is focused and hungry. Plus these kids are playing for something special that's in house business. So you can continue to hate, or as you say legitimate question all you want carry on!!!

There's absolutely no hate. Just the facts. I didn't ask the question. Just said it was a legitimate question. Most everybody on here respects PC. Clearly there's no hate. Carry on!!!!

Last few years has nothing to do with this year! But what I do know is our defense has finally caught up with our offense, taking alot of pressure off that side of the ball. End result first 10-0 season in school history, so we'll see what happens its one game at a time for us. But yeah his whole comment about question is who will upset PC was pure hate!!!

If you've blown games in the playoffs in back to back years its a legitimate question. Not hate.

the hate is real!!!

Seems more like a fair question than hate. The last few playoffs haven't been good to PC. 

I don't know who #55 for Pearl Cohn is but he gets after it!! Small for the line but he's nasty. Like watching him play

#3 for Pearl is the best player on the field tonight. Kid is unreal

#88 has a bad ankle. High ankle sprain. Normally he's also the punter. Great player with a high motor. Just not healthy. 

I've been there for the Mater Dei vs Reitz game. Great stadium.
