I do want to put this rumor to be about Coach Smith at Independence, even though the money is attractive at BGA, he will not leave the eagles, he loves it there and wants to stay for many years...Smith will not go to BGA, he wants to win more gold balls at Indy...........wish he would give it a try, works very well with the private school athlete...would allow love to coach with him again, private schools make it easier to coach at their school

Smith won't leave the county....ok...But don't say he is not interested....he may not have APPLIED but he has expressed some interest......right Green lantern????

 

The man can't stand to lose. If he doesn't feel that he has the skill players at Indy...esp at QB......he won't last there.

I only know what Smith tells me and he feels that they can compete for a state championship in a few years, really starting to get players transferring in...will only have 6 or 7 seniors next year but heard they are getting some studs transferring in....he lives so close to the school and all...i just say that if he went private it would be easier for me to get into coaching with him again

How is he getting players to "transfer in"? Wouldn't that be the evil RECRUITING? Please do tell.

Part of what he is alluding to is the awful job of redrawing boundary lines in the district. Let's just say that he has been very "blessed" with the way they were done. Recruiting....nahhhh....just "transferring in".

Please let me say this, Smith is many things but cheating is not one of them, the thompson station area is growing at an incredible rate and people want their kids to get noticed, especially quarterbacks.....they will win and they will win the right way.....williamson county has a really odd transfer policy and several kids are not happy with their present coach in the county.....just want to have fun....again, i think he will stay no matter what the offer

So how long does it take to find a coach? Of course, the sense of urgency isn't as great in high school as it is in college, but two DII jobs - this one and Baylor - have been open for at least a few weeks now. I would think that both would attract a significant number of applicants from which to choose.

 

Maybe we'll see some movement in the next week or so now that the holidays are over.

Come on now Shotgun5wide, I mean Green Latern, I mean Scott, all you have to do.....and I quote, "Public school coaches need to quit complaining and get to work".

 

Some guy, a few years ago, when blessed with no less than 3 D1 athletes on the 1A level, said that. Of course he was at a private school, so he obviously knew what he was talking about. I think he faded into obscurity somewhere..........what was his name again??? :lol:;):thumb:

    • Trust me, and I am speaking for everyone in West Tennessee. Based on what you just said, I know for a fact you never watched this kid play in person.
    • Coaches,   I hope that this note finds you all doing well.  I know many of you have or are working on your schedules for next season.  I wanted to pass along information for the 2025 CBHS Duals.   We still have a few spots available for the dual and are looking for teams to help fill them.   This year we are shifting the events back to the CBHS campus and back to our traditional weekend of the third weekend in January, the 18th to be precise.    If you would like to reserve one of the spots in the CBHS Duals please reach out and let me know.  Similarly, if you plan to send a squad for the JV event then let me know.  You do not have to attend both events, but our hope is larger programs will take the opportunity to get their full squad on the mat.   We plan to accept 12 teams for the duals this year with the shift back to our high school campus.  Even if you have previously discussed attending with Coach Harrison, please confirm with me via e-mail.   Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.  Those of you that know me and our events know I take great care in running excellent events and this weekend's activities will continue that trend.   Thanks, Garrett House Coach - Wave Wrestling Club Tournament Director - CBHS Duals / JV Clash (c) 901-289-3795 garrett.house@gmail.com
    • Georgia commit DL Stephon Shivers announces he will leave Humboldt High School in Memphis to attend Brentwood Academy High School in Nashville for his senior year. Good move for the kid. Himboldt was awful, and somehow getting worse with all their players leaving for other high schools in Memphis. A very underrated prospect moves very fast for his size, and his releases off the line are insane. A very good pick-up for Brentwood Academy.
    • Great post and on point about the LB's. I would look to see Mason Batten get alot of reps and fill one of the LB's spots. Defensive and offensive line should be very good.  On the offensive side, Tate Surber has weapons all around him.  Backfield could see a mixture of RB's but I would anticipate Timmy Airline and Colt Norden getting the majority of the totes.  Norden will also be a big threat down the field in the passing game along with Cole Brown, Jacobi Melton, and Martez Teague.  Jacobi Melton is probably the fastest kid on the team. He can flat move.   As far as the offensive strategy, the weapons are for sure there to run that 4/5 wide no huddle.  But, do we have the depth to run a fast pace, no huddle and keep kids fresh for four quarters?  Time will tell.  One thing is for sure, the pieces are there to make a deep run, but we don't want to put the cart before the horse. 
    • McKenzie has to replace some very good players on defense especially @ linebacker. I am hearing the roster numbers are way up so far this year . A couple players from the 2022 team are back out for their senior year I  heard. Hearing the main offensive philosophy  maybe  moving toward a no huddle 4/5 WR and very fast paced. After exceeding  expectations last year and even holding their own in the championship game with what this team has back they  should be deep into the playoffs again this year. The defensive side of the ball is what I will be paying close attention too. I thought down the stretch last year, their defense was what really carried them through the playoffs.
