My last post was in reference to fighting irish's suggestion that someone tell Eugene and Roy that they can't come back and be water boy's anymore. These guys have had it rough with their dad being in the hospital. I think God has a hot corner reserved in h#ll for anybody who would belittle or harm special needs people. I don't care if people don't like me or not, I'm gonna stand for whats right. I want drugs out of here, teacher's preying on students out of here. I want this place cleaned up.

 

Spit it out Josh, tell us what you really think. Clean it up.

I want to remind everyone of the post I made on 9/26/2010. I searched my old posts and copied and pasted it below. Get Ready.

 

Well I don't know if Coach Lunsford would consider coming back to Cloudland or not, but he probably would. I know when they hired Robbie Turbyfill he was willing to come back at that time. He told me so himself. I think he'll always have a big spot in his heart for Cloudland football. I'm also sure that there are a lot of people in Roan Mountain that would love to see it. I talk to people all the time and that is a common topic. The only problem is we are entering into the Birchfield era. I think they hired the Chambers guy to take over basketball so Matt Birchfield could take over the football program. The Birchfield's have already took over the Junior high football program at the appropriate time and I feel it will be the same with the high school program. They have a lot of good kids in the junior high football program but I am afraid they are all playing for the benefit of one player. That is if they choose to stay at Cloudland thru high school. I have heard a lot of talk from different parents that they are considering different schools for their child to possibly play at in high school. This is a shame but everyone feels that the junior high team is being/and will continue to be manipulated thru high school. The Birchfield's tried their best to manipulate the team when Tim Clipse was at Cloudland but Coach Lunsford was too stubborn and knew the kind of talent Clipse brought to the table. They won't allow him to come back because if there is a more talented player then the one on their agenda Coach Lunsford won't allow them to manipulate the team and will play the better player. It is my opinioin the Birchfield's want control and would not allow this to happen. It's happening in Junior High as we speak. The best kid on the team gets very few opportunities to shine. The Benfield kid is by far the best player on the junior high team but he's just there to hand it off. I was talking to a guy the other day and he said he watched a junior high game and it made him sick. He said it was obvious it was all about one player. Cloudland really needs a coach that is coaching for the whole team. The choice, if he would come is an absolute no brainer. You either hire a coach that's never coached a highschool football game or one of the most successful coaches in the entire state in highschool football. A proven winner. You would even get a bonus as his son would probably come with him and I have heard a lot of talk that he is very knowlegable of the game himself. He and Jordan Hughes would work very well together. Both of them have a lot of passion and love for the game. I would just like to see Cloudland get back to where it once was but I'm afraid with an agenda in the mix this won't happen anytime soon. With the number out for football as low as it is now and kids coming up from junior high talking about transfering (kids are smart they see what's going on to). I'm concerned we won't even be able to field a team in a couple of years. I'm not a profit but I don't have to be everybody knows it's going on. It's not that big a deal to me, but I would like to see Cloudland get back to where they once where with kids loving it. I have a lot of friends who are not happy with the way things are going that do have a stake in the future of Cloudland football for their sake and the school's I hope I am wrong. My next post will probably come in about five years. Hopefully not.

1 player doesn't win championships. And they are all about competing for championships. Seems to me that the jr. high has won 1( 2009),lost a close one(2010) and is playing for a 3rd time in the champ. game next week.(and I like their odds in it) (oh,and for the record that's 3 championship games in the 3 years they have been coaching the jr.high) Because they use Colby to pound the ball(more carries, bigger back) and come back with Austin(faster back) to get big plays(huge chunks of yardage) you think they are wrong? Carries may not be equal but I'll bet if you check the yrds from scrimmage it's pretty darn close. Mine was part of that 2009 team and I can say from experience they know what they are doing.It's all about getting kids out to play and teaching them the game, and they do both pretty darn good. Their focus is on the line,every practice,because they know that's where this game is won. Those last 2 sentences Sound like a previous coach we had....anyone......,anyone care to guess who? :thumb:

And line coaching is why their Jr Pee Wee is even so good!!!! We played the Jr Landers well for most of the game ....but our off line stmatters...imploded way too much....Im just thankful that the off line is built and stressed in high school (where it really matters)....We have YEARS of great football left pal

i had heard that the job would probably go to someone on the staff or close to the administration? have they had any interviews yet? is coach tubberfield still teaching at the school?

As far as I know ,Robbie is still teaching. As far as interveiws goes, I don't think so.My guess is they already know who they are planning to hire,just not letting the cat outta the bag.
