Armstrong resigns at Sequatchie Co.

[awfl]

We just found out today coach armstrong resigned who do you think the new coach will be?

[secretagentman]

What were the reasons for him leaving? And who is a front runner for the job, will they bring back Barger this time or will we overlook him again. Would like to see him back in the valley again. he has done a fine job at Cannon County and now needs to wear the purple and gold again.

Bump:

 

And by the way this hire should have been made two years ago when the job opened up the first time and the Indians would not be in the mess they were in this year!!!!!!! Powers at be make the right move and right call and go get CHAD BARGER away from Woodbury and back to the VALLEY!!!

he left because he was not a good football coach. We need to get Coach Barger back

[secretagentman]

I thought Armstrong was a good coach just young. We do need Barger, whatever it takes to get him back the powers at be need to take that approach.

Dont see Barger leavin Woodbury anytime soon he has things in the right direction here and has almost all staters back form this year on both sides of the ball

[BallPark3434]

the school board at sequatchie will probably not make any attempt at getting him back they really dont care

[secretagentman]

Any word yet: I know it is early, but has anyone heard anything on what they want to do with this job. Hopefully they don't screw this up again and we get someone who will want to build a tradition and hopefully some stability to this program and the boys invilved in this program.

The players and coaches all have some fault involved whenever you're 1-19 over a two year period. X's and O's, I'd have done some things differently at times but it's easy to say that after something goes wrong. At times the team was missing smart play on the field, in the first half of the season during the easier part of the schedule penalties just killed them. A couple less here or there and they might have beaten Whitwell, Dade and Cannon or at least been in a better position to win at the end. The penalties dropped during the last half of the schedule but the schedule was harder overall so it didn't make that much of a difference.

 

I would have liked to have seen how the team would have finished had two starting linemen (one senior and one junior left tackle) been able to play 10 games, they were averaging 23 points and around 300 yards after two games (20-13 over Pigeon Forge, 28-26 loss to Cannon) and after that didn't surpass 14 points, most games didn't surpass 200 yards if I remember right. That's on top of a starting senior receiver being out all year and two or three linemen from last season not coming back and they'd likely been starting (one moved, one dismissed, one quit). One started last year as a freshman and had a good overall season. Line was a weak spot again this year, at least three first year players (two freshmen and a first year sophomore) got some starting action. Like I said in another post I think they'll be good players but you're not going to do much with players that young in the line. Coach Barger will likely be considered but that's his choice whether to even apply. I'm sure there will be plenty of interest again, crowd support was high until the end especially considering lack of team success, numbers were good with about 50 players (though there are way too many more who ought to be playing and aren't), facilities are unmatched compared to most of the similar schools in the state.

Good Luck to BJ. He is a good coach and a better person. I wish him the best. Maybe he can come to Middle Tennessee and help a friend out.

The scoop on this is that Barger is stayin where he is
