Stealer007 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Heard that Rankin May retire at the end of the season? Any truth behind this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuniorsDad Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I was told last week that Coach Rankin was moving to Georgia after the school year. If I remember correctly this same type of talk was on the boards last year. I have the utmost respect for Coach Rankin and I hope he stays at Alcoa for many years to come.

Gerry Bertier Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Only way I see Rankin leaving is if the talent level is going to drop at Alcoa, however there has been no indication of that by scores of the varsity, jv and freshman.

BCsportsfan Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 ................Coach Rankin's son, JT will be a Senior next year. Plus his daughter will be a freshman................I give him a min. 4 more years before taking an out of state or private school job.

howdoitknow Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 The poster who said that Rankin's run will continue is absolutely correct. Rankin is not going to move while his son is having so much success with his peers. I don't believe that he would allow his son to go through years of playing football with the same group of guys just to separate him from them once he is finally a senior. Also, as of last night Rankin is 316-60 all-time as a head football coach. This is his 29th season as a head football coach (1982-1989 at Smith County; 1990-2005 at Riverdale; 2006-PRESENT at Alcoa). He is gunning for what could be his 9th State Championship this season. I believe that the idea of breaking the all-time record for victories and state championships for the state is something that Rankin cannot pass up. Gary Rankin will be the head football coach at Alcoa in 2011..........MARK MY WORDS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, he is not going to move with his son being a rising senior, and I don't blame him - most parents wouldn't unless it was an absolute have to!

catback Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I don't think Rankin is going anywhere until his kids finish school, this kind of thread comes up every year, even when he was at Riverdale. And, even if he left, Alcoa is still going to be Alcoa, too much talent not to succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
