riverdaleman Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 If memory serves me correctly Coach Wells wasnt the first choice over at Blackman. They had a tough time filling the position and finding someone they felt was qualified for the job...and that was after blackman had some winning and success so I think they will have some of the same difficulties however the few coaches at Wilson Central could be good and it also helps that RIVERDALE is down so imcoming coaches dont have to worry about beating us like they did back then...but i still think it is going to be hard to find a big name guy...also LOD Mrs. Vick is a great lady and she does want to win in football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masondixon Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 AGENDA seems to equal "masondixon"...what is it?...why can't he apply?...he is a free man in a free country...none of us know his motives for applying for another job...why hate on hester?...why hate on lavergn? the coach at wilson central applies for jobs every year and they just keep on winning...and other coaches do the same...let em look...let them explore...it's america hester has alot of credibility in the area for his coaching ability... as i say all the time...if you are going to rip someone on here...sign your name at the bottom...and "masondixon" ain't what i'm talking about dont think im ripping anyone. Just stating the facts. Why do i need to tell you my name, this is what the boards are for. People posting their opinions. My son plays at one of the middle schools that feed to lavergne. Why would i want my son to play for a man that doesn't want to be there. ive been watching the lavergne program, the 5-5 season had the most talent on any team. 5 game lost by a total of 10 pts, don't blame players that sounds like coaching to me. don't need to hate on a proven loser, so i guess we will be going to smyrna lol. ne1 know how to get a zone exemption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Poppa 17 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 about coach hester applying at blackman...i was just wondering how many people on here have seen lavergne's facilities? the locker room is barely respectable for a middle school basketball team. the weight room has equipment that i bet came with the school when it was built. everything that they have is antiquated, which explains why it is a steppingstone position. yes, they have a lot of talent, but in 5A football (next year 6A) everybody has some talent. i have only been knowledgable about lhs for the last three seasons because the son of one of my close friends plays there, but i believe that lavergne high school does not have the necessities to take that raw talent to a higher level. one more thing, and as i say this i want everyone to understand that I AM NOT RIPPING COACH HESTER...i just want some background, i keep hearing on here and on the tv game of the week this season against mcgavok, how hester is an offensive genius and an amazing coach. i have not seen evidence of this (6-14 the last two seasons). i do not know his background. was he the coordinator of an offensive machine before coming to lavergne? did he coach under an offensive genius? basically, how did he get that title/respect?

232323 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 It would make plenty of sense for Hester to apply at Blackman. Blackman is a better school to teach at, Blackman has more talent coming back, the facilities are newer and better. I did hear he did apply. Well the talent could be down if what I hear about Wells is correct, a few of the starters may be following their coach across town. And about the facilities, Blackman doesnt have anything other than a stadium....doesnt LaVergne have a field house and stuff?? I do have to agree with the school environment though, Blackman much better then Lavergnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAZEman Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 This is true. It's exciting. getting kevin dyson would be the worst possible thing that could ever happen to Blackman. just because he is a Tennessee celebrity doesn't mean he will be a good coach. I wouldn't put it past vick to hire him though. the athletics have gotten worse every year since she has been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all the time up there. That is another reason for Hester to leave. Remember Hester was going to go to Marshall County with Thomas but stayed. The team that went 5-5 lost games by both play and coaching. This passed year only had one starter returning and played a number of freshman. Hester has been at Lavergne for a number of years everyone needs a change sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
