Congrats to the tigers, so far. I wouldn't give all the credit to the coach though. It's probably better that he not seek the glory lights just yet. It's the kids that stepped up despite controversey all around them. Go Tigers.

Its going to be funny when they get to state and with a lame duck coach who just happened to make the wrong "daddy" mad.

This would not even be a topic if the mommy's and daddy's of high school politics, oops, I mean sports would just leave well enough alone. Give credit where credit is due. Ripley won with the talent put on the field by the coach. No, he didn't actually play, but he prepared his team for the battle. He, along with the rest of the staff, called pitches, set the defense, called for steals and all of the like. This is supposed to be the best days of young athletes lives, and it is being ruined by, of all people, their parents. And it's not just here, it's all over the country. Let the man with the word head in front of his title of coach be that. Back off and give the kids free reigns to learn from outside influences. Contrary to popular belief, 99.99999999% of the time in sports, mommy and daddy don't know best, coach does. Parents are one of the biggest problems with the youth today. The kids grow up thinking that they are better than everyone else, or they are not givin the respect and guidence that they need. Either way you have a messed up kid. One striving to fail and the other failing to strive. If it were not for the parents being as they are, I would probably still enjoy coaching. But as it is, to quote the great Johnny Paycheck, take this job and shove it! Seriously, how can a kid succede in life if they are taught, or not even taught, that the people teaching them life lessons are always wrong. Get a grip parents, be just that, and let the folks who do a job or service for your kids do it uninhibited. Neither side is always right, or always wrong, that's what the kids are supposed to decide, it's called GROWING UP!

Do you even have kids? You only have part of the details of what has gone on. There are other concerns out there. Those who do the hiring should do better background checks. There are reasons that educators are not rehired in other school systems.

You are exactly correct 1historian! That realestate guy spouting off the coach was not rehired due to a disgruntled parent is way off. Give the education administrators the benefit of the doubt everybody. If they didn't rehire every time a parent was upset, there would be no teachers/coaches left in the school system. There are other concerns that are much much more serious than an unhappy parent. There is no need to publish them here. That would only serve to hurt the coach. They need to finish the season and part ways.

 

By the way, I don't have a kid on that team, and didn't know there was a problem until after the decision was made to not rehire him.

It must be your kid that is pickin' splinters pal! Coach Messer has done a good job with that UNTALENTED team. You all have one pitcher who throws in the low 80's(if that) and a catcher who MIGHT play college baseball. So give the guy credit, he led that team to where they are today! His gameplan versus Dyer County was good because DC out-talented them by a long way.

      Camp season 2024

      Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.

      You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.
