If D-B fans could choose the next football coach, who would it be, realistically ? (sp)

 

I guess if GC decided to hang it up, there's only 2 in the state that I can think of, then you're lookin at going outta state. Maryville's coach isnt going anywhere....ever, so the only 2 that I would ever consider is Rankin, and Ballard.

DB has a future Tennessee hall of fame coach that is DB through and through .He wins most of his games but is unlike many of us on coacht,he is not perfect.Your not going to get Maryville or Greeneville's coach,but you might lose a great one in the process that has been much more than a football coach to many of our young men.Be careful what you ask for.

Gary Rankin is the current head coach at Alcoa. Was at Riverdale prior to that and I think Smith County before that. Both of those have benefited from having very talented programs as well.

I may be wrong but i think at Alcoa,RANKIN is the head coach, he brought in two more coaches with him that were head coaches at other schools one to run offence and one to run defense.DB keeps Clark as head coach,Carter to run the offence,Jenkins to run the defense now that would get it done

That is not the case at Alcoa. Rankin calls his plays NO ONE else touches his offense it is all him. The defensive coach is Brian Nix who is young and very talented and has turned down other jobs but has never been a head coach. He played at Maryville ironically but IMHO will be Rankin's replacement someday. Gary is one of the absolute best and no one builds PROGRAMS like he does. However I cannot see his family moving further East than the Knoxville area. If they move anywhere it will be back to Middle TN or another state. Plus I'm not sure Kingsport can pay as much as Alcoa. He likes to have him some talent though and won't go anywhere he cannot win. This whole conversation is useless though as I don't think Graham would be forced out and honestly DB is lucky to have him.

I was at the Greeneville-Alcoa game earlier in the year. A lot of Alcoa fans were giving the coaches some flak for their play calling. ;)

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
