Meigs looking for new coach

[gold33]

Meigs has good talent, all they need is a good coach someone that can get the boys to play hard. they lost two games last year that they had won and bad coaching lost them the games. They look so bad last year because the coaching was bad, we just need to get behind the boys and hope they hire the right guy. I think it will be harder finding a good coach than it will be fixing porblems on the filed.

Well...... Lets see your list "Tiger Pride"?

 

 

Sorry mr whistle I'm not in the list speculation business. Some of the names you listed, Baker, Martin, Hampton, no way they will ever be back. As for the new names, only the man doing the hiring knows for sure. Howard wanted to come to Meigs early in his career but was rejected. I think that decision will bite Meigs for a long time.

 

 

Well, you can forget about Howard coming. If he was going to come, it would have been for the head baseball job. He has it made at Mcminn, He is not going anywhere. I am sure Mr. Baker will make the right choice. I hope the best for Meigs Co. , I have always had alot of respect for Meigs Co and Coach Baker

Was the coach bad when he coach the team to the state title game 15 years ago? When I saw Meigs I saw very little effort from them, I don't think they crossed their own 40 yard line against the opponent's starting defense, but the coaches can't be out there on the field blocking and tackling.

I don't know what you saw 15 yrs ago, but he is not the same coach now. If you'd watched him a little closer you'd have seen him mowing the grass during practice, he didn't go in the locker room at halftime, and was very quiet on the sidelines during a game. How many head coaches act like that?

I can top the guy with all the names. You heard it hear first. On friday I saw Fulmer get off I75 S in Sweetwater and turn right. He had to be headed to Meigs to apply for the job! Several unrealistic names. If Coach Martin wanted less money he would've taken Sweetwater job. Multible interviews. Pay the Coaches Monroe Co.! All joking aside I hope things workout for the Tigers!

15 years ago, Meigs had the best coaching staff in its history. Martin, Baker, Webb and a younger Eller. I may be wrong but I think Robert Greene coached the middle school team. Not a bad staff!! Also remember that group of kids was the most athletically gifted group that ever played at Meigs. Eller had niether the support staff nor the players he had 15 years ago.

This is what mean by bad coaching, They had a kid a year maybe two years out of highschool coaching DB's who wasn't that good himself. 15yrs ago Eller was the DB"s coach but i guess he had his hands full with other stuff. They had one of the slowest kids on the team probably in the distric playing safety and should have been a LB at best. Had the best DB they had at safety and should have been the lockdown corner, he didn't have great speed but we could have gave him help over the top with a faster safety. offensively we cant move the ball cause we can only run one play, we have to find ways to get the ball to other people because other teams new who the ball was going to everytime. Play calling was terrible and we still blame the players, it's not there fault the other teams were better prepared than they were.

No matter what is run-and you all did see 10 of their games compared to one for me-the players ought to still give effort. Only the bare minimum effort would result in not getting the ball past your own 40, no first downs that I remember.

One thing to think about is adding wrestling. It could also intice the right coach to come knowing that football players will be working thru the winter and be in shape athletes. Wrestling always helps a football program and makes them much more disciplined stuendts as well.

I just think they need to bring a coach in that the kids will play hard for and knows the X's and O's of the game. Putting forth good effort also comes from good coaching, Eller was dull and thats how the kids played dull. Half of the guys playing were sophomers who didn't play any freshman games and the coach expected them to play at a high level. Those boys are greener than the grass in my back yard. Sports can teach a kid life long lessons and if the coachs put forth good effort so will the players and the players that dont needs to be on the sideline. Eller had a winning team in the 90's cause he had a group of guys who new how to win and he didn't have to put a lot of effort in to his coaching skills. This group needed alot more coaching and he didn't have the skills to get the job done these boys won't to win they just need to be coached and motivated.

There has been a lot of names thrown out but are any of them even interested in the job? Has anybody heard of any coach that has actually applied? What is the timeline for hiring someone?

[Whistle76]

Dont know if they are interested, but contact was made with Spencer Riley and Brad Bennett
