Question for the Oakland folks...


Football Man
 Share

Recommended Posts

grew up in west tennessee, believe he played college ball somewhere. was a DBs coach at riverdale from 2000-2005. went to BGA in 2006 as a defensive coordinator. took a head coaching job at moore county in 2007, taking them from a 1 or 2 win team to a 7 win playoff team in one short year.

 

he's in his late 20s i believe, the players will love him and go to war with him. a very intense coach on the field, very professional off the field. expert on fitness and the best teaching position for him at oakland would be in the weight room.

 

 

coach mac played football in college at tennessee tech. i was at riverdale as a player for his first two years there and loved being around him, although he wasn't my position coach. he is EXTREMELY energetic and knows how to get all of the players on a team motivated. but, off the field, he is as personable a guy as you'll ever see or want to meet. i got to talk to him this weekend for the first time in years and i really hope that oakland lucks out and gets him because if so he will take them far!

I am not talking bad about Coach Macdaniel but it should take more than just 1 year of being a head coach in lower class level playing Moore County. What happened to the bigger name coaches, With more experience? Did they all turn Oakland down? If Coach Mac is the coach, good luck because this county 's level of play can not be compared to that of the region of Moore County.

 

 

A couple of the finalists withdrew...JJ from Cookeville and Perry from MJ...I believe McDaniel can turn it around, but it will take some patience on the part of the fans and community.

i feel exactly the same way. great coach, great teacher in the classroom. he takes his profession seriously but is very down to earth.

 

his brother was a freshman coach at riverdale a few years ago also, dont know if he has been coaching since mac left for BGA and moore county but i wouldnt be suprised to see him on staff at oakland.

Guys, don't know if this is true but T-Mac is who I was talking about a few pages back. I played under him and he is a master motivator. He is very blunt with players and tells them what they need to hear. Great in the weight room. VERY organized, professional off the field and intense as they come on the field. Can't say enough about the guy, he turns boys into MEN.

 

Honestly, I thought it was just a matter of time before he took a more high profile job then Moore Co. His work there certainly speaks for itself. He knows this region, as he was assistant at Riverdale for 5 years under Rankin. Congrats to Coach Mac!!

Rumor is that hes taking the whole staff of white and gardner with him and possibly snow.

 

i was thinking white would stay at MC, try to hop in as the head coach there. i know he lived in that area, even while working at riverdale, so he was taking a job closer to home than murfreesboro. plus his wife is the head girls basketball coach at the school aswell.

 

was snow also at MC? i thought he was still at eagleville, but saw him at the blackman/smyrna game this year at random so i had no idea where he was at now.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
