How good do you all see Oak ridge being with new coach? Do they have a good year this year or does it take a few years?

 

 

With a good coach, and I believe that we have one, I expect us to win seven games (if we beat Farragut, Maryville, or Clinton, that would be a bonus). That number should increase in future years.

We will be good, not great, but anything will be a improvement. We have a great coach and we will have a pretty solid team this fall. In a few years from now I think we will be competing for the state again.

 

 

I believe the cats graduated a large senior class but with the new coach coming in I would expect some more of the athletes to come out for football and I'd say Oak Ridge surprises some this coming season. I'd give them 7 wins for sure, maybe 8 or 9.

I will say with discipline that you will have under the new coach and you know more players will come out OR will win no less than 7 games this fall and will be back to glory days really soon! Hope the best for the OR family its always nice to see a program rise up to where it used to be and where it should be!

OR will do better than most people think, coming off a disappointing season last year

i think OR will win at least one against Clinton, Maryville, or Farragut

Coach Blade will bring a much more discipline attitude to the team, which will be great for the guys

 

 

Why do think that? Were they discipline at Hillsboro or athletic as heck. Because I hear the latter. I guess winning brings about discipline. Was Joe Gaddis program discipline when he coached at Oak Ridge? Someone told me to ask that. Both questions I am not implying nothing. I am just debating with my buddy from Nashville and I just want to get some thought. I hear Oak Rige is having organized QB and WR throwing with the coaches. I don't know if that is legal or not. Once again I hear this. I don't really care because I hear everybody does it. But my buddy tells me. I think his son plays for Hunters lane and he is just jealous. Get back on top Cats. Cardinal and Grey is back to stay!!!!!

 

Please beat Clinton. Stanton you my boy and all but darn you have to beat Clinton and Beat Farragut. Maybe you can go and help Graham out at AE, you did give him a shot. Lol

I know Gaddis and I know a couple of people who know Blade. First of all, Hillsboro was "athletic as heck" but very well coached. Hillsboro did not win with discipline being their strong suit, but lack of it didn't get them beat either. Gaddis was not a "stern" disciplinarian but had the discipline to win a bunch of games. Gaddis gave his assistants much more responsibilty than Blade does. Blade is a more "no nonsense" type of guy than Gaddis. Gaddis is more outwardly enthusiastic than Blade. Gaddis was what we needed when he arrived in 1988, and Blade is exactly what we need at this time in our history. I look for big things in the future of our program. I hope Blade stays a while.

I would say beating GQ & Maryville took a lot more than Athletes.

I agree.

I agree with the last statement. Coach Blade is a great coach. It's simple mathematics--the man has produced much higher numbers in the W column than the L column.

 

I, however, disagree with the earlier statement. I don't see OR beating any of those three teams. I also see them losing to at least one other 5A team in their district. Oak Ridge will be good, don't get me wrong, but I think it will take more time than some may think. Good luck to all involved.

You may be right about this next season, but I have a great feeling about our future. I say we will upset one of the teams most think we shouldn't beat, but we may lose a game that most think we should win. I will say that we will be 7-3, and win a playoff game, and finish 8-4.

    • 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. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
