to me, this was poetic justice, not to BA, but the man who started this whole controversy: he will remain anonymous, but we will call him murt casters..... he allowed for the coaching switch to be made.... i played for both coach flatt and moore and they are obviously great coaches as their records prove, but also great men and i consider them my friends..... bottom line is that the team did not deserve to lose that way, it was a coaching error, but people make mistakes so dont let this one game glare your view of the whole situation, for this one bad game there have been 10 games in which coach flatt has been bold and made the right move, its just taht the bad ones get remembered because people like to see him lose because they are jealous, liek steve spurrier, people hate a winner, just my 2 cents

BA had the ball on the McCallie 5 with 30 seconds left and instead of going for the win we let the clock run and tried to win OT. Dissapointing coaching decision.:)

 

He is. Look at his stats. He is about to become THE greatest. However, the bottom line is that he is getting old. He will be able to coach for, at tops 5 more years. Then someone else will be brought in to replace him. I think BA should have kept Tom Moore. I played under him, and he was a great coach, as well as a great guy. However, Flatt does know how to win state championships. He won 9 before the public schools voted us and 6 other teams out of their division. I think he should get 4 more and a couple national rankings before he retires.

 

ba should have kept coach moore. i played for him at mba, and as you said, he was a great coach and a great man. ba was crazy to let him go.

Why didn't you all hire him after Bowers resigned?

i'm not really sure. i had heard that they had talked to him, but that he had a job in insurance or something that he didn't want to pass up. that was the rumor i heard.

 

i was in coach moore's econ class my senior year when he got fired. i asked him if he was going to coach somewhere else, which he was completely capable of doing. he said that he was going back into pharmaceudical sales. he was not looking for another coaching position, but he was not sore about it. shocked, of course, but not sore. he is currently the db coach at cpa, but he is still in sales.

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.

      Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.

      No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.

      I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
