I already know the answer to that question :thumb:

 

or should I say.......... :roflol::roflol:

Let the past stay in the past, As for football Mac is the best,Mac came to Moore Co. in 1987 turned the program around and took the raiders to the clinic bowl in 1988 .,Ever year during his reign at Moore Co we played 12 to 14 games ever year., Mac is a very good coach give him time and your program will turn in the right direction if the players are willing enough.

The veer offense is not what I would call misdirection offense you are running right at the defense, the defense just have to decide what they want to do. I would say it more of a timing offense.

You are right the veer itself is not a misdirection play, however I like to rum midline under center and run counter Iso the other way, which creates misdirection. We run shotgun 75% of the time now, and it has taken me awhile to come up with a good misdirection play off midline and veer out of the gun. I hope we can really get it down this spring. My problem is we have so much speed that it is hard to get our kids to slow it down to set up the counter Iso, so we are having to do somethings a little different to compensate. If we can keep people from recruiting kids from our feeder schools maybe we can get our numbers up. That has been our biggest problem.

As far as what I said earlier about Sp stoping the wing-t, if you can over power them fine, however if not they are just going to spill it and kill it with their speed in my opinion.

Yes you are right when you run counter plays and some trap play it become misdirection . Since you have so much speed you should be running the veer all the time that what it take to run the veer. Counter play are real good when you give the defense a lot of triple option and then hit them with the counter play. You just have to teach your running backs to take the step or make the spin the opposite direction to really sell the counter(misdirection)play for it to be most effective. The veer offense is all about repetition in the spring, fall and during the season for your team to run it effective.

Trust me having speed is nice, but you really don't have to have it if executed properly. That is why alot of teams with a bunch of slow white kids run it. It really is a 3 or 4 yards and a cloud of dust offense, but you are hoping it will eventually break open. However, the best thing about it is you can take the other teams best defensive lineman out of the game by reading him. I have said this before, my two favorite plays are the midline and counter Iso. However out of the gun, fear the veer, it is a much easier read. You are also correct about another thing, it really takes about a year, maybe two to get the option down, especially if your QB does not return. Our freshman QB got exposed to it two years ago, he took the job over this year as a sophmore, really looking forward to him running this next year. He also has a cannon for a arm, and with some idea of what he is doing. One more thing that we are doing that is fun, we run no huddle, run to line to run play, do a fake snap count, then call in the play, at times it is like taking candy away from a baby. We played one team this year and their end, if he put his outside hand down he slanted outside. If he put his inside hand down he went inside. Our Qb already knew what was up when play come down. This lineman was voted all Region in 4A. Like I said, I love the option, but it is best to run what you know best because in the end it all boils down to fundamentals.

You need to call that Childress man and tell him about this recruiting mess. If he finds out about it, he will make those coaches vacate some of their wins like he did that Price man this year. He made them vacate 6 wins. I garuntee you the next school he catches cheating will have to vacate their whole season. You think im joking but im not.

Roy, it is not the coaches doing it. Recruiting may also be a bad word, just tells me we are not getting it done. Alot of these teams are getting kids by doing well, academically and athletically. That is where we have to step up. How can you blame a kid for going to a good overall program if the opportunity presents itself. I will tell all kids go where you feel like you need to go, do what is best for you. If we are just in this to win ball games, I am sorry, I LOVE TO WIN AS MUCH AS ANYONE, I promise you that winning ball games is not the most important thing to me.

The WingT offense isn't some type of new offense. It has been around a very long time. Speed is still a big player in the wingT. Sweeps are still a big part of the game. There is also quite a bit of misdirection in the wingT. Some coaches tend to use a belly and speed series that features traps and counters from this offense. Alot of teams run a certain formation that might look like a wingT formation, but that doesn't neccesarily mean they are running a true wingT offense.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.

    • 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.
