Hey shadow. Before bigchief got us sidetracked we were talking about some of the best Metro staffs. I believe we've had 70's Maplewood, 80's and early 90's Overton, 80's McGavock, 90's Startford and Hillsboro's current staffs mentioned. I also threw in some of your SHS staffs were pretty good. I'll add some of the old Dupont staffs to the list, too. Any thoughts?

 

I agree , the bunch at MW had the best collection of coaches, and most of them ended up head coaches elsewhere. Bill Brimm at Madison had good staffs in late 50s and 60s. McG when it opened, and the Creek when it opened had several to be head coaches. Coach Frost at Good. had an outstanding staff during his tenure, and MBA and Ryan[not public] always had good football staffs. Some of this stuff dates me , but it was the greatest period of time to be a football coach.

What is the biggest difference between coaching staffs today compared to coaching staffs of yesterday. Most times today there is not a staff(enough coaches).

 

 

Most assistant coaches [back when] had ambitions to be a head coach. They studied, went to clinics, bought books, visited college staffs and talked football with each other during the off season. Head coaches also helped us by discussing buying equipment, filling out paperwork, and other off field duties. The schools competed on friday nights, but the coaches spent time with each other talking football. We even had a coaches basketball and softball team that play in metro leagues. Important-- we respected each other's work ethic.

 

P.S. Coach Dunn had some really good staffs at AHS.

I don't like metro football....Mcgavock, Whites Creek, and Glencliff are the only teams i think could maybe contend somewhere else....Antioch will have NO preston or cole, meaning no offense....

 

 

r u serious come on now antioch would always be a contender in any other division and hunters lane has a solid defensive backfield this year led by upcoming junior dallas payne the kid has great speed and great hands i wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt lead his league with interceptions and tackles

u wouldnt know a good coach if u seen one why do u think hunters lane brought in the guy from stratford to take your job its cuz u couldnt get the job done and every year that shows when hunters lane is done playing after the first week of the playoffs

If there was a hall of shame for the dumbest posts ever on coacht this one would be a first ballot inductee. Love shadow or hate shadow (and I assure you he couldn't care less), but if you don't respect him and what he accomplished in 31 years as a metro head coach, you have no sense at all.

You are right about Coach not caring if you like or dislike him. It is all about respect. Nobody cared about kids or worked harder than he did. He won alot of games and did what he thought was right, that's all that matters. There are coaches winning now that have sold out their values just to win. They are not happy because they know it is wrong. This game is not all about winning at this level. Look at the highest levels of ball trying to win with super talented players. It is not even working at that level.

I forgot to mention earlier, just to show how ill informed you are, "the guy from Stratford" you mentioned is Richard Campbell. He wasn't brought in to replace coach. Greg Abner was there for a year between the two before he went back to Glencliff.

      Actually that young kid was in an offense that loved to throw the ball I believe.    Biggest problem for MC is if the coaching staff can figure out which mouths to feed at the appropriate time.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By thefootballguru · Posted

      Have you ever been in education (administration) or a head coach? You’re responsible for all aspects of your program. If you were not checking the kids information correctly and left it up to someone else and they mess up. You’re held liable because it’s a failure on supervision, implementation of TSSAA eligibility and your school’s eligibility. Remember the wording in the article for him “CONTRACT NOT RENEWED” coaches are on a year to year contract and don’t sign the contract again until July. Do I believe he still should’ve been let go? Yes because you’re responsible for the total program and should be aware of everything going on. Do I believe he knew about the grade changes? No and that’s because nobody brought his name up until things got really bad and there is no indication with any paperwork showing he did. It’s just word of mouth from a teacher trying to cover herself.

      New Clinton Headcoach

      By sx1234 · Posted

      TSSAA won't ever issue a death penalty, worst case scenario would be a post-season penalty that makes Clinton ineligible for the playoffs for a year or two (I believe 3 years is the most I have ever seen).  But TSSAA only does that in extremely rare circumstances.

      I just want to echo that sentiment. Coach Woodmore is a good man and he is going to do things the right way and expect these kids to do things the right way. He will help grow them into fine young men. The wins will follow. I think Bolivar hit a home run.
