tdntn is correct. The renovations were on the drawing board when Tim was still at Oakland. Butch has pushed for the IB program and the drafting program, and has plans in the works for even more things. He has tons of ideas and resources to make Oakland great. The Booster club is responsible for the amazing indoor facility and has worked tirelessly to see it accomplished. They deserve ALL the credit for it. The players, parents, and current staff were involved in a lot of fundraising for it as well.

 

Oakland isn't the work of just one person.......it is the work of many wanting to see it return to greatness.

Now back on topic......I am hearing two names in the forefront coaching wise......Bobby Brown from Lebanon and Wes Elrod from Wilson Central. Got my info from the City Cafe in the Boro.

 

I like the idea of Coach Elrod coming to Oakland. He knows his stuff and is the main reason for WC's success this season.

We have had problems in Franklin County since Mantooth was forced out. You know this. Mantooth was done dirty.

Ask anyone from Jackson-Central Merry if they would let their teen-aged daughter be alone with Collins in his office. Ask around and you will find out why.

 

Smyrna fans need to ask why Steve Carson is calling Oakland daily when he should be worrying about Lincoln County.

 

Oakland fans need to ask why Carson is Rick's #1 candidate? They also need to ask in FC why Carson didn't get Head Coach when he applied. Rick told Steve he was conducting all interviews..

 

 

This is getting really old reading all this bashing of good people and good coaches. Carson has not had the first contact with Oakland or any other school for that matter regarding coaching positions, but he would make a great head coach for somebody. It's also time to lay off of Britton, Collins, and Mantooth. This post is about possibilities for our Patriot opening. GO PATS!

Question for someone in the know can it be done at Oakland and will they make the commitment to a proven winner with a championship and a track record of getting it done where others couldn't. What kind of booster club support does the program have? What kind of time frame are they looking at?

    • Yeah I am on board and plan on coming down from the Ridge for some home games, great Friday night atmosphere there.  I'm really hoping SC can get them back going and have some success for those fans and community.  
    • Yep I was field level on the scoreboard end throwing ball with Benny when we had that brief lead. Everybody got very excited but it was short lived as Murvil regrouped and went into machine mode. But yeah,  that hit sounded like the crack of a black powder rifle being fire.  I believe Dozier took one like that as a Soph up at Greeneville after on olay block.  
    • Ole Benny boy lol. I forgot about Harder. He was tough as crap. He graduated in ‘09. I went to the OR/Maryville game that year (great game, btw) and he collided with Jacob West (I think was his name) and you could hear it clearly at the top of the visitor bleachers. Man, it was a stick. He could lay some wood son. All those guys were tough, Elliott included.
    • They do have good community support for sure and did when I coached under Z for 4 years. (I was on that staff that turned them around a little from winning 1 game a year to actually being competitive).  Great Kids and Great Community over there.  They have done some good things with the facilities from when i coached too. 
    • I personally will not mind that one bit.  It seems like a really strange fit to me from the git go.
