1 Coach, 1 assistant, no money, no crowd support. Play them in BB, thats another story. Think this about covers it.

Are there any volunteer assts. trying to help? The Tennessean article about them a few weeks ago told how they had no one to even go up into the booth to help spot etc.

Let's try to be positive on what they can do to improve, it's easy to just get on here and mock them. So far these have been alright. I think such schools should be allowed to play complete non-region schedules while they build, it doesn't do them or their opponents much good when they're playing Trousdale and Friendship Christian.

RBS has always had a few good athletes, but they have never been able to put much together! In 1999, if I am not mistaken, I think they went 4-6 and would have been 5-5 but they were called for not enough men on the line of scrimmage on a GW FG and after the penalty the FG was blocked! It looked at that point as if RBS may start something, but it never came together!

Thats why I respect those young men so much. Its sad when there are teams that have full community support, a stocked coaching staff, awesome facilities, money galore and cant even field a decent team.

 

If I lived close to RBS, I would volunteer to help anyway I could. To have kids show up to play through that kind of adversity is every coaches dream.

RBS hasn't won more than 3 games since the late 70's. As someone posted earlier, Head coach and 1 assistant will not win you any games. With 25 players they need at least 2 more coaches. RBS will never be any better until the administration gets behind them and hires more coaches. Lack of support will cause anything to crumble!!

Yes I saw RBS play in the Jam at CELINA back in august and was surprised that they had that many players. Seemed to be 40 or so and some of them were very big. It's a shame that these kids don't have the same opportunities as other schools do. It's a credit to their character that they even try. Best wishes to those kids.

One would hope some retired pro football player or coach would read about this and get out of his rocking chair and go help them as a payback to the sport. Any takers?

[MrSandman]

I do not know much about RBS except there basketball is exceptional. The community is proven to be sports minded. So why isn't there any support for the football program? Lack of winning is an easy answer, think of something deeper.

Yes, BB is the sport of choice over there. One thing I've noticed about the RBS Football program, the roster is small. A friend of mine in the community told me that they've never heard of the team or booster club having a fund raiser such as a chili supper or ham breakfast. I remember my days in high school, the various clubs and groups would get out and have a car wash, sell donuts, candy bars, etc... It would seem they need to show alittle interest so that the community would be more willing to give them support. Despite their record, enthusiasm goes along way.

If they will hire me as head coach, I promise we will go 5-5 by next season and 8-2 the one after.
