I understand what some people are saying. I think 90% of the head coaches in the state of Tennessee could win state championships at Alcoa the last 6 years and in the future. That I will not argue. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Having said that, unless my memory is failing me, Riverdale was not the powerhouse until about 1990. Enter Gary Rankin and staff. However, I don't know if Murfreesboro was zoned at the time or not, but that was before siegel and Blackman were built for sure, which did allow for a lot of exceptionally gifted athletes in the 'boro to play football for the Warriors. Again, not arguing that point either. I never played for Rankin, but I do know him well and I can tell you that the talent he has coached is enough to make a lot of coaches sick, but I can tell you that has nothing to do with the fact that he is still one of the best football coaches out there, and on top of that, he always surrounds himself with a very capable staff.

I would also like to add a couple of things about Coach Rankin if I may! No doubt Riverdale and Alcoa have gifted athletes! As a HC Coach Rankin brings several other elements that have made him sucessful. Discipline, knowing how to use and where to play these gifted athletes and the one other important element is the strength and conditioning and the organization of Coach Rankin. He is truely one of a kind. :roflol: I have seen coaches who have had gifted athletes on their teams and not know how to utilize them if their life depended on it! :ph34r:

Very true statements. A good example to this.........Alcoa's 1999 team.

I do not agree with this. 90% is a crazy #. Huntingdon had a pretty good lead on Alcoa in the 2004 title game and they had the football in the 3rd quarter. Reid had to have done something right to get those kids off of the mat and back into the game that night. In 2005 yes Alcoa was just way too strong for Goodpasture. They could have hung 80 on them that night the way things were rolling at one point. In 2006 & 2007 though Goodpasture was a very good football team. Although the score wouldn't indicate it Alcoa did have to work hard for those wins. I believe Goodpasture did defeat David Lipscomb both of those seasons and both of those years David Lipscomb was in the 3A title game against Fulton if memory serves me correctly. 2008 & 2009 Milan was a very talented football team. Both of those Milan teams were very good defensively and on offense they were physical. Again Alcoa had to work for wins in both of those games.

 

Good coaches could win state titles at Alcoa yes but 90% is an insane number :roflol:

Scaldeddog17 I have to agree with you on the 90%. That in my opinion should be about maybe 20% or less! :thumb:

I guess Rankin must be real flattered to have all this discussion about him. I can just hear him saying "let the record speak for itself". Next subject please............-_-

Coach Rankin doesnt waste his time reading Coach T threads! :lol:

 

It is true that he doesn't waste his time reading CoachT - he is too busy preparing his team to make his critics look like a fool :lol:

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
