  1. Yes hated what happened to him. Great man and coach.
  2. Gwave...yep. I just named two counties but I did think about adding Sumner. Could have went even farther and included Shelby and Knox. Again metro has good coaches. Brunetti at PC has had a lot of success. East has had success with two different coaches, CR had one great year. But other coaches in other counties have had the same success. Back to topic, hope Overton gets a good coach. The good ones in the past stuck around awhile. Coutras, Mullican, and Anderson were all there several years. The last several coaches did not stay long. Any chance an alum comes home?
  3. Metro has had really good coaches, and really bad coaches. Yes kids get the credit when a team wins, and coaches take the heat when they lose. Always been this way I suppose. As for metro being the only county sending multiple schools to state...... Rutherford: Riverdale, Oakland, Smyrna Williamson: Brentwood, Ravenwood, Indy, Summit Only difference is these are schools that won, not just went. Come on now metro coaches deserve credit but don't act like they are the cream of the crop as a whole.
  4. I have heard a very intriguing name has applied for this job. I am honestly shocked this person would even be interested with the experience he has. I will be the first to admit I was wrong about Overton having a hard time finding a veteran coach. Only question is, will Overton see this coach as the right fit?
  5. Tough region to try and compete in. I hope I am wrong but I think they will have a hard time finding a veteran coach with experience. Overton should have fought to stay with the other metro schools.
  6. Personally I think it's very smart move. Great coach, experienced head coach, and knows the area well. LA is lucky to get someone with his experience and knowledge.
  7. Lipscomb no significant history......GM had a lot of success. He was one of the best coaches from the mid-state.
  8. Just saw where they are hiring DM. I thought they wanted personality. Someone to get the fans excited. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see this as an exciting hire.
  9. Announcer you keep changing your agenda. Is it magnet schools, facilities, or talent? Guess you just go with whatever you haven't used yet. Keep going. I'm done. Are you Kreager? His topics are all over the place too......classification by success factor, playing in a dome to avoid weather, oh and grilling.
  10. Not better, but just as good. Very similar schools with very similar resources. I see you are resorting to jokes since you have nothing else.
  11. Announcer, that is not at all what I said. But having good facilities does play a part. So does having good resources. Show me a team that has won a gold or silver ball in the last few years that doesn't have good facilities and resources.
  12. Not sure how east is now, but when I worked there it was a lottery school. Also, transportation was not provided. Most students walked, rode the city busses, or were dropped off by others. We also did not manipulate our enrollment. Again, I'm not there any more but that is how it was. Why don't you Mr. Announcer do some research and let us know what you find out. Also, why don't you look at the facilities and resources of those that win state championships this year. Do facilities make a difference, heck yes they do. If you think otherwise you are clueless.
  13. From the outside, it appears as though GP is about as good now as they have ever been. Some kids and some parents will always find a way to complain about coaching. I would say GP staff must be doing a pretty good job if they made it a few rounds into the playoffs.
  14. Melrose is an area just south of downtown Nashville.
  15. Glencliff was good when they got their third of Melrose kids. Hillsboro and Overton got the other thirds. Once metro shifted school zones, glencliff dropped off. Now with the free for all, glencliff is more of a soccer school if anything.
  16. Great country artists. I used to know Waylon Jennings niece. Waylon was a very nice man. But not a good mix to play at either school. Would be like playing Tupac at Forrest.
  17. Crazy. Play the music the kids/fans like. If the media don't like it, don't bother coming.
  18. Which media member? Schools always play the clean version no matter the genre. Schools usually play what the students want to hear.
  19. Not sure NCS. Would have made a lot of sense. They would have been more competitive in PCs region. Good first year for them though.
  20. Was the current coach already on staff when he was hired? I honestly can't remember. If so, it's been a little while since they hired an outsider.
  21. I am not aware of all the facts, so I will not pass judgement. So for those saying LA did nothing wrong, did the boys from Mississippi move here with the same parents/guatdians/siblings they lived with in Mississippi or did just the boys move and an adult rotated in? Did an assistant coach text a family saying he had talked to a booster that was already covering for families that could not afford tuition? These are what the allegations are. Did any of this happen? As far as the ruling goes, I understand the kids wanting to play and feeling like they did nothing wrong. I understand the parents wanting the kids to be able to play. However, this is a program consequence. It is what it is if the allegations are true. Follow the rules, keep things transparent and there is no problem. Should be real interesting to see what happens next.
  22. Have you been to a game? If so, did you not see any talent?
  23. I think most respect Hackett and the job he does. He hasn't forgotten how to coach. I think most like Webster but anytime your team doesn't perform, the noise will get louder. Watertown has all the resources to do good. Community support is there, facilities are great, talent is in the building/on team. Down years are going to happen, but H20 better right the ship or the support will fade away as seen on this thread.
