Who should get coach of the year

[westtnfootball50]

Tim Gilmer - Bruceton

Coach Gilmer lost one of the strongest players from a very small team just weeks before the season started (Detris Willis). Gilmer has brought a lot out of the team and the community. Good luck the rest of the season Tigers!

Jerry Joslin Cookeville High, lost 36 starting seniors and still won the Region, nobody gave them much hope at the beginning of the year

Coach Shaun Hollinsworth of Station Camp. Last year the team finished 1-9 under him, and so far this year they are a perfect 9-0 w/ the potential region title game to go.

 

I would have to agree with you on that one. Coming from 1-9 to 9-0 on the verge of winning a region title, there's no more you can say about that, but WOW! Not only that, Station Camp is winning convincingly.

 

Also, John Offutt of Springfield has really turned that football program around this year, which I'm extremly proud. Springfield is playing like a team and with much more desire and hunger to win. I've followed Springfield football for a long, long time and Springfield is usually known for tons of speed on offense (when they're good). This is probably the best defensive unit Springfield has ever had in a long time. My kudos to Coach O. (he should be Coach of the Year in Region 6-4A).

 

As for Cookeville, losing 36 seniors from last year's team?? That's a lot and sounds like half the team. Going on to prove the critics wrong and win the region is also a great accomplishment!

Could not agree with you more......Coach J has done a great job of getting his young players ready this season and it shows. Cookeville is 4-0 in the region thus far and 3-peating REGION CHAMPS! Great job guys and keep up the good work.

David O'Conner from Giles County has done a great job this year.

John McNiel & the coaching staff @ FCS 10 - 0 regular season and #1 ranked team in the state for 1A. Kind of speaks for itself does it not.

Coach Scott Blade at Hillsboro has done a remarkable job. In his first year they have gone 10-0 and are favorites to reach the finals in AAAA.

 

Coach Blade joined his team late and then lost most of the incumbent assitant coaches. He was able to put together a staff and then had to teach a new offense to his team.

 

When Coach Blade arrived, he inherited a group of great athletes but none had any experience running patterns or catching passes. Last year Hillsboro averaged less than 3 passes per game. This year they have completed 94 of 168 for 1575 yards and 19 touchdowns (with only 3 interceptions)

 

Good coaching is reflected in learning! Coach Blade should be recognized as coach of the year because he has taught so much to these kids.

 

If you would prefer to base your vote on wins vs. losses, then you need only consider his 10-0 record.

I agree he has done a fantastic job and should be considered.

Coach Adkins should get it for his consecutive undefeated regular season wins. 20 wins. also back to back playoffs.

Yeah, he' s another good choice for coach of the year! I happen to know him personally.

I think the coach from Bruceton should get the Coach of The Year because he has coached and helped his team through some tough times and look where that got them 2nd in their region when the were picked to finished 6th or 7th. So my pick is Bruceton's head coach!!!!
