Metro Coaching Carousel

It's hard for 5A Metro teams (always matched with the Sumner County schools) and 6A Metro teams (always matched with the Williamson & Rutherford County Schools) to be as competitive in the playoffs. This includes Overton who may actually be the best M.N.P.S. of all but never gets recognized because they play in a "loaded" class. Two other classic examples of this happening to are this past season's Antioch & Glencliff teams (both had nice seasons) who were each a quick exit in the playoffs.

 

Pearl-Cohn & Maplewood have a much easier road in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs (playing rural county schools and/or west-TN schools that aren't what I'd call football "powers").

 

East Literature & Stratford can't take advantage of this because they are taking away from one another and as a result numbers aren't as high or quality as many think. If they were to still co-op under one football program then it would be a power just like PCHS & MHS.

 

Whites Creek was improved this year but all of their coaching change in recent years has caused the football program to suffer a major "setback". Hopefully Murray can turn the Cobras into a contender once again before he leaves for another job (which is bound to happen).

Totally agree with this post. Can Maplewood or Pearl make a run in 2012?

Pearl returns 9 starters to the offensive side of the football. They have 2 good backs in Hogan & Vaughn. They have to replace the fullback Miles (who I have no doubt will get signed somewhere). They lose McDonald as a receiver. They return their line which will be anchored by Hooten (6'6 325). Both Gordon & Knight are back to run the show at the QB position. It will be interesting to see how they decide to do this next year. Will they play just 1 of them and move the other to WR? Will they keep the 2 QB system?

 

Defensively PC loses all 11 starters. YIKES! They'll have the athletes to step in and play I am sure.

 

Being a Metro Magnet School I'd venture to say that a couple of really good athletes could potentially fall into the laps of Brunetti and his staff. They've done a great job developing key additions (i.e. William Johnson in 2007) to their system and winning with them in recent years.

    • Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row
    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.
