Did not say that Joe Gaddis was not a good coach. Just said that he would not be hired. I believe there is a difference. There are more factors in hiring a coach than him just being able to coach. Only time will tell if the "secret" committee makes the right choice. Some will be pleased and some will not and of course there will be some unhappy no matter who is hired. Don't know of anyone that does not have respect for Coach Carringer. Did not know that I said there was a lack of respect for him. Just said that he had his hands full. I did not know that being a part of a discussion had a requirement that someone cares who is selected as a coach of a particular football team. If you don't want to read my comments on here so be it, its your choice and its my choice to say whatever is on my mind as long as it is appropiate and does not violate the rules of the board.

Cat- PackScratchWatchLOSERS:

 

Personal vendettas are ugly, especially when they are aired publicly. It's a shame your son/"daughter's" high school football careers didn't live up to the expectations you hoped for, especially after your "careers" :lol: fizzled - yes, I know who you are.

 

Ask any current Oak Ridge football player, or any Wildcat from the last 10 years (except for your son/"daughter") who's best suited to be the head coach. To a man, they'll say RON GRAY. If that's not enough, look at the numbers - his offenses have averaged well over 35 points a game over his time as offensive coordinator.

 

Head Coaching experience? Give me a break! If you don't think Gray has a detailed plan as to how to take the 'Cats to consistent glory, then you haven't been by his classroom ANY Saturday or Sunday during the season (as any of his players do) to witness his commitment, work ethic, or dedication.

 

GET A LIFE, you "true Wildcat fans"

Well well Well! Someone ask why Stevens can't beat Fulton? I put it this way, it's hard beating a team two times. Every coach, player, fan, and anybody else knows that. Stevens can beat anyone he wants, if don't get the OR job he can bring his Roadrunners down to the Ridge and they'll beat OR. But give Stevens a chance. I hope he don't take the OR job but if he does, he'll be the right man for the job. He'll take OR back to Boro and he have the community behind. Right now they're not behind him because they're not giving him a chance.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
