Good luck to the new coach

I am sorry but here's the truth... I've watched this program from its inception. The current administration is too lazy to do what's necessary to have a competitive program. If you care ask them these questions. 1) did you call the successful programs near you to ask if they have any coaches who might fit. 2) did you ask successful program administrators how they got the right candidate. 3) did you contact everyone who sent in interest on your job. OR did you just sit around and pat each other on the back and make excuses why you aren't trying to help your students. With current issues you might want to try to hire someone who can help

It's quiet in Meigs but not for long. Renewed fire and couple of hidden gems will get the Tigers back. Better not sleep on R-1 though because NOW they are at the dance.

Lol. Only program in the valley is SP.

I wonder if they have contacted any of the successful programs around about their coach or spoken with their head coach about any assistants he might have that would make good head coaches. The problem with most of these programs is they want to use excuses, not try to find a good coach, not think outside the box and stand behind their hire. Instead it's poor pitiful us... we just can't get the kids, the coach, the money... nope it's you won't work--- most of this is the administration being too lazy, too scared and too satisfied with their job to care about the players, kids or community.

Congrats Hampton.

Problem is TSSAA. When they defend referees, umpires etc even when they are wrong they destroy the accountability. I referee and umpire. I hate to hear the "can't get refs because of fans". Bull can't because theirs no accountability and good ones are rewarded and are stuck cleaning up for TSSAA putting subpar guys on the fields. Refs and umps who love and respect the players and the game still are appreciated by coaches, players and fans but shocking not TSSAA officials. Refs and umps don't even get passes to go watch games.

Congrats to TC. Great defensive football game. Not proud of the way things went down at the end. Now MC has to re-focus. The loss in 2017 inspired the run we were on and was fueled by our last loss to TC. How will this group react? TC good luck will be pulling for you.

TC no offensive answer against Meigs D. Once again MC coaches are playing chess everybody else playing checkers.

First- Do schools really want to win or is it lip service? I've watched high school football in my area for over 50 years and have watched good programs and bad ones. Good ones don't accept losing and figure out a way/ ways to fix issues. Bad ones just use excuses 1) no athletes 2) can't pay what .. pay 3) kids are different 4) can't get good assistants. if you want to win 1) find winning program and recruit their coach or ask who they have 2) think outside the box - don't be cookie cutter 3) be brave and supportive in hiring 4) give contract and expectations just like colleges yes it can be done, yes kids deserve it, excuses or answers

One of the greatest high school games I've ever seen and we lost. Baines ran wild Meigs threw it all over the field, dropped pass in 2nd Q in end zone, bad snap on the 1 and pick 6 for TC. Still remember the TC fans being horrible before but amazing after. Players still talk about the respect. TC Radio earned major respect that night.

Lol. True story.

Fact Meigs vs Trousdale is fun matchup. 2018:29-32 at Creekbank 2019:22-20 at Decatur 2020:16-13 at Bank. This is game where legends are made. Battles have been fierce on coacht, ferocious on the field, but Total Class after it's over by both programs.

Meigs is good. ER is not. Poorly coached, amazed at what SEC player plays like

Shout out to Coach Fitzgerald and Meigs staff. 5 semi-finalists in 5 years. Winning teams get awards: 5 Region Titles, 3 Trips to semis, 2 Runner-ups and a ?

Huge catch as a soph against Trousdale where he broke his foot. Missed state title game. Has worked very hard to get where he is. Congrats

Coach Fitz mentioned culture, standard of excellence 2014 6-5 1st rd 2015 4-6 no playoffs 2016 10-2 2nd rd loss to Forrest 2017 12-1 quarterfinal loss to Rockwood (last home loss) 2018 13-1 semifinal loss to Trousdale 2019 13-2 Finals loss to Peabody 2020 14-1 Finals loss to Peabody 2021 9-0 thats culture that's a standard but it's ALL of Meigs Baseball, Softball, Girls Basketball, Boys Basketball, Volleyball, Boys Golf All to state tournament in last 7 years Good coaches, Good Administration, Good players, Good Hometown Support Great is a word often confused with good, & good with average At Meigs we're good close to great

Didn't say beat--said play. And ok. I love how since 2017 that's all Meigs heard. "Big boy football" yadayadayada. But Meigs PROVED and everybody will be trying to excuse it away.

All that needs to be said is Meigs can't play in the valley lol. And Meigs is better coached, much more physical and is on a quest

Meigs vs Tyner at the Home of the Tigers. Meigs 29 straight at home. Best Home crowd in 2A. Bet? Have not lost a region game since 2016.

Which region may I ask would you eliminate? Just because you "think" a 3rd place district tournament team could win another district doesn't make it so. South Greene, CSAS, Sale Creek. All pretty solid in the East

Polk County comes in after a close loss to an always powerful Cumberland County squad while Meigs just squeaked by McMinn Central.

What ya got?

Congrats to Meigs County. Would love if someone could post pre-game. Meigs taking care of business "if you will". Hamilton County football though is awful? Why?

Bledsoe, their coach, their administration and their entire county should be greatful. Instead of having a mercy rule game they get the Covid 1-0.
