QUOTE(rapbwood @ Mar 11 2007 - 01:38 PM) 826408117[/snapback]A lot of football coaches?

Assistant football coaches - Yes

Head Coaches - No

I don't know of any Head Football Coaches in this area at the primary large school classification doing anything besides concentrating of football. This is not to say small school classification with the lack of athletic programs or teachers within may have to pull double or quadruple duties in different sports programs at the school.

 

I would have thought a large school at Oak Ridge would multiple resources besides the Head Football Coach for the other athletic programs. If Oak Ridge has dependable offensive and defensive coordinators or assistant head coach to run the show, maybe nothing is wrong with the Head Coach running the track program during the spring. Hey, you never know, maybe golf is not out of the question during the fall football season.

 

 

A football coach working on track seems to be a natural fit. Teaching player how to run is an important part of football.

>From the Oak Ridger

 

That is part of a sentence from an article in Friday's Oak Ridger. That is all the article says in regards to Coach Stevens.

 

So to answer Ole Dad's two questions in his original post, no Coach Stevens has not resigned and Oak Ridge will not have to hire someone to replace him. You are welcome Ole Dad. Anytime I can help, I'll be glad to.

 

To Bounder,

Which assistant coaches left this off-season? I try to read the online edition of the Oak Ridger everyday but I must have missed that news. Thanks in advance for your forth coming information.

It's commom knowledge that Spees and Adams won't be back. And I know Rob left before last year. Minor and another unnamed asst. are looking elsewhere. If Jeff leaves his father Tommy will leave also. So your welcome sort of.

Coach Adams is the only coach who has left. Coach Minor has applied for a Head Coach position at Karns. The fact that he is being considered is a great reflection on the Oak Ridge program, not a bad thing. However, Coach Minor, nor his dad (both of whom I have great respect for) have left the Oak Ridge program, they are both still there, that is the fact. Speas left two years ago for personal reasons (his words, not mine).

 

Coach Stevens, not me, and most certainly not Ole Dad, controls his own destiny with Oak Ridge. Coach has a proven record that he can win so he knows how. He has the knowledge, he has the proven record, he has the position as a result of the first two. If he has the support of the Oak Ridge Schools leadership, then he has my support as well.

I see were you coming from Ole Dad but Stanton is trying to be around the children all times. If he is with the football program he is missing out on some of his players off season work outs. He has some good assistance to help him down in the weight room. The pass great coaches did not work with nothing other then football and they were very succeful every year. So this year will tell it all.

Pettus...you write like a 3rd grader. You embarass both yourself, your family, and your beloved oak ridge with that type of grammar and spelling. Please stop posting until you can pass the TCAP and/or English 10 Gateway. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

Must be one of Ole Dad's Cronies. There is another upside, he is also the only Oak Ridge coach to beat your beloved Warriors. /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Coach Monroe coaches track at Ooltewah. He has since he started at Ooltewah. I don't think that cost him the game against Smryna in the semifinals do you? lol Check around. Other head coaches do do this.Coach Monroe was the track coach when he was the head coach at Cleveland...he won the state in track one year too!

    • I grew up watching Greene Devil Football since I could walk and still close with a lot of the coaches so should know my history pretty well lol.  Everything worked out the way it should have but firmly believe McCurry would have won some State Title if he wouldn't been let go (Greeneville still runs the same D he brought here and he let Ballard run the O and stayed out of it when it came to calling plays.  Greeneville was put out in the Semi's McCurry's last year against Maryville and the next year Greeneville stayed in 4a and was State Runner up playing were they were placed for the first time by the TSSAA.). It was definitely a McCurry and Ballard show that turned everything around along with the Community buying in and revamping the weight room and field house. Since Ballard got promoted to HC every Coach after him has been within the Greeneville Coaching staff because your right, they know what it takes to win a state championship.  Ballard was a master mine on O and what i think Greeneville has lacked since he left and let some Championships or making it to the Championship slip away over the last few years
    • Sounds like you know your area history well. Going back and looking the records were better than I thought but mostly still beating Upper East TN schools. Ballard sounds like he came/was promoted at the right time.    I do think it’s no coincidence that them keeping the HCs as guys who were former guys on the staff. Too many times schools want a “state championship” leveled coach from the outside but they don’t know the landscape. Promoting from within will help with less turnover and keep the program consistent. 
    • You’re a fool if you think I have more than one account 
    • Looking back they had better records than I recalled against upper East TN.  But they still took off once ballard got there. And beating other good programs
