UBanksRulz Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I noticed other coaches on here get blasted for dumb decisions but no one has dared to say anything about the almighty Rector who gave the game to Lenoir City and also put Eubank's defense in a tight spot. From The Tennessean Then in the second quarter Centennial went for it on fourth-and-1, but Darius Steele was tackled for a 1-yard loss on a running play, which gave Lenoir City the ball at the Cougars’ 33-yard line. Coach, did you really feel your team was so desperate against the Panthers that you had to roll the dice in the 2nd quarter only trailing by 10? By not punting and giving the defense a chance to hold, you gave a short field to LC which cashed in easily. Being down 17 to 0 was just too much to overcome. From The Tennessean “The first half was definitely all Lenoir City,†Cougars Coach Brian Rector said. Not taking anything away from LC but the first half was not just all Lenoir City. They had great help from some bad coaching. From the Tennessean “If I would have made a couple different calls it might have saved another seven points or so on the board, but you take those chances. No you don't take those chances! At least you don't take them that early in the game when your team is battling that hard. Punt and play defense. Use your strength and not your weakness. From The Tennessean And our teams are never going to be the type that we’re just going to play it safe and let things happen.†How about playing it smart though? It was the wrong decision at the worst time. Hats off to Eubank's defense for attempting to keep Centennial in the game. Eubanks is wasting his time there. It's time to go find another HC job.

CHSteamplayer Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 So tell me again why you arent coaching on Friday nights? This person has been a pseudo fan since joining a week ago. Don't pay them any attention. Rector took an awful 2-8 team and in less than a year got them to round two of the playoffs, as far as the school has ever been. Anyone that knows anything about football or Centennial knows this is a huge feat. Rector is a great coach. Don't let an on board terrorist raise any ire, lol. Great job, Coach Rector. Great season. It's the start of much bigger things. Armchair idiots that quote and use the Tennessean as their source of argument don't have much to offer in the way of intelligent conversation.

You need to stop causing chaos. I know whom you are. You need to be breaking down film and getting your boys ready for their trip out west. Stay off the threads before I expose you. CHSTP Centennial has made the 2nd round of the playoffs three times now so it's nothing special. 5A is watered down. I look forward to seeing what Centennial will do at the 6A level in a couple of years. Edited November 14, 2011 by TheDanPatrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeonardandPercy Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 4th and 1 from your own 30 something is awfully risky that early in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volsrock Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 coach rector and coach eubanks are great coaches...if you have followed coach rectors career you would know he has gambled all his career, in fact if he had not been so daring i doubt his ravenwood teams would have won a state championship and lost in another one.....everyone can guess after the fact, until you have been there and studied film all week knowing your team and your opponents...good luck cougars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a 2-8 team from horrible to the playoffs is a feat. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHSteamplayer Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Did I say it was the furthest they have ever made it? Nope Reading comprehension is an issue for so many these days. You might try re-reading what I posted and what you responded with. Did you get what I was saying? Nope Great season to build from Centennial. It was something special, especially when the previous two seasons were 1-9 and 2-8. Rest a few days and get started on next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
