Underrated Coaches

I'll give you an over rated one, is young Cisco from union city. If any of you can recall, when he first came to union city he was a par coach and had a few average season's. Not until his father came around did he actually start winning and winning big. He's an average coach don't get me wrong but he gets all of his fathers credit /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />. Anyone from union city knows it's true if you will admit it or not.

 

So what you are saying is that dad won the state last year? So what was he doing looking back to see what play dad wanted to call next? /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

David Baumann ... William Blount High School. Lost 7-8 seniors off of last year's team. Started 4 juniors all season. Only 3 seniors on team ... only 2 of them played significant minutes. No one over 6'3" on roster. Only had 2 letterman return from last year's team ... only one of those really played significant minutes. Plays in one of the toughest regions around--with Bearden, Maryville, Farragut, Lenoir City, etc.

 

Still managed to win 15 ballgames this season. The improvement of this team from summer till end of season was absolutely remarkable. David put a good system in place--based on the personel he had--and got the guys to buy in. That's a mark of good coaching. If the guys will continue to buy in and spend the off season in the weight room ... WB can be pretty decent next season.

i think that derek wallace at AC deserves some consideration. he has done a great job since the departure of mark eldridge to maryville. in three years, he has led the mavs to two district titles and almost pulled off a monumental upset against the defending state champs (fulton) in this years region tourney.

i also put Chris Kessler in the mix. He took a team in Knox West that won 2 games in the previous year finishing dead last in the district and then in one year they win 15 games and place 4th in the district and with only one senior.

 

 

 

I agree here as well.. Coach K. did a good job with a very young team. I think next year it will be West and Central battling for the top spot in th district.

Young man from Gatlinburg Pittman has done a darn good job. Tied for 1st in the district in his first year and then played in the district championship this past year. Took over a program that was rich in tradition in the late 90's and early 2000's led by Ken Wright (now at Sevier County) but had only won about 20 games from 2002-2006.

CoachT information states they have been 15-10 and 17- 10 in his first two seasons. How old is this young coach?

Not next year. West was moved to 4AAA where they will do battle with Bearden, Catholic, Farragut, Heritage, Lenoir City, Maryville and William Blount.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
