1) Richie at Goodpasture gets alot out of his kids.

2) Pickle at Columbia does a great Job in probably the hardest district top to bottom in the state.

3) Coach George was a great coach but now he is just a good coach.

4) Hardin Co. Coach does a great Job.

 

But If I were hiring a Baseball Coach for MY kid to play under I would hire Coach Pickle.

There are a few big names I have yet to see. Mack Hawkes at Oakland. He has coached more professional calliber players than Pickle. My personal opinion is Craig Reavis at Siegel. He won a state title at LaVergne, in his 5th year there. He took over a team there that was 1-21 the previous year. He has Siegel playing well, and competitive in a district with Oakland and Riverdale. All this and the guy is about 31 years old. When he took over at LaVergne he was in his early 20s and looked like a student because he carried a backpack. He was hard to play for because he was very demanding but he made us all better. If I had a son, I can honestly say that I would move to the Murfreesboro area and let him play for Coach Reavis. He knows the game, he teaches the game, and he keeps the players in line, on and off the field. His teams are the most disciplined, not always the most talented. Williams at LaVergne is a joke. Pickle was an adequate coach. I apologize if this comes off as biased but I thought he should at least be mentioned.

QUOTE(DaCoach @ Apr 2 2007 - 09:32 PM) 826428634[/snapback]Hey all you Farragut fans, is Tommy Pharr not on of the absolute best baseball coaches in the state of Tennessee! In fact, I would say one of the best in the country! He coached my nephew at Monterey, his first high school job in Tennessee, and he did a fantastic job. I know all you Concord people have to know just how good you all have it! Am I right or what? He is the only coach I know that as a coach myself, I can watch him coach a game and take away something that he either did or how he handeled a player or a situtation that would make me a better coach. And I coach football. Coach Pharr is CLASS! That's the best word to describe him, 100% Class!!!!!!!!!

 

You are absolutely correct about Coach Pharr. In his nine years at Farragut, every team has reached the state quarterfinals. Three state championships, three state runner-ups, seven district tournament championships, eight region championships, and he makes his players better people as well as better baseball players.

    • Hmmmmmm doe dee doe doe……sounds like they are leaving Geenback faster than the lawnmower will go in fifth gear.  Hmmmm….. you can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • West looked solid...excited to see this young group excel
    • When you have a school that right at 200 kids only half are going to be male and to get 25% of them to come out for football is a very hard task. Take away an 8th grade syatem and your you have another hill to climb up. If 5 kids are actually leaving your not going to have enough for practice. Your only chances for wins would be against the weakest of weak teams. At one time Greenback had kids coming across the wall like the Mexican Border and now their leaving town before sundown. A hugh mistake was made on not hiring Ryan back because of his ties to the community and his ability to bring in the right kids, not run them off. The last coach failed because he wasn't one of community so they go out and do it again. I'm sure Coach Clemmer is a good person because I do know people that do like him but he is caught in the middle of a fan base that will not support him no matter what and it could lead to a disaster if that many kids are leaving the program. The person that caused all of this mess has no business on the school board and needs to stick with hiding in the bushes giving out speeding tickets to out of towners coming through.
    • My outsider looking in perspective is Oliver Springs, Coalfield, Rockwood, and Harriman: fill out the top 4 good teams that beat up on the bottom and will all be in a good place to win in the 1st round with one team maybe making it farther. Midway: funnily enough in the middle an alright team that can beat the teams below them but not the top 4 misses the playoffs but still has a decent record. Oakdale, Greenback, Sunbright: round out the bottom each team has its problems and with a rough region and challenging non-conference records may not be pretty. Oakdale graduated lots of talent and experience, Greenback is in all sorts of internal turmoil with their new coach, and Sunbright small roster tough region not tons of Fb played. (Teams could be rearranged with other teams in their groups but this is how I see them finishing)
    • Kids quitting to focus on one sport could be a worry but multi-sport athletes transferring out would damage more than just football so I think the people who made this decision could find out they are going to get burned in multiple ways.
