What a hard fought game. We stick with the run and we win that one.

 

agreed except hixson adjusted to the option we were so successful on in the first half. but why we never threw a slant to number 13 with hixson corner playing press coverage with no over the top safety, I HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT!!! 13 lined up to the wide side of the field the safety playing on the hash. a 2 step drop and a quick slant scores everytime. oh well maybe we can learn from it.

Wow! I dont like to second guess coaching but that was crazy. Up 21-7 and Hixson hasnt stopped you all night. The only way they get back in the game is with turnovers and instead of pounding the ball you come put throwing? At least pound the ball and eat the clock up and make them earn it, dont give them a pick 6 and then turn around and give them incredible field position the next possession with more passing. Now some of the blame has to go on the Qb, he should have never thrown those passes but if they would have stayed in the I and ran #9 down their throat you wouldnt have been in that situation. He ran all over them in the first half and might have carried the ball 2-3 times in the second half. CRAZY!!! Also sweeps to the right towards their tiny corner worked all night. Their defensive ends were crashing and not containing and their corner was mismatched all night on the run or pass. They only threw on him one time and it was a long touchdown pass and he wasnt within 10 yards. That game should have never been lost by Central. Im not sure what was up with the phantom penalty call on the botched punt either. How do they call it a first down, spot the ball and set the chains and then let the opposing coach come onto the field and talk them into calling a penalty 5 minutes after the play? If you dont see a penalty and throw a flag how can you come back and call something you didnt see?

I don't much speak of play calls either...but darn..maybe some things I just don't get. If it aint brokd don't fix it ya know. My kid worked his tail off and he sure was upset. Let me restate that...all the kids worked their tail off. We controlled the line most all night. Ran it real strong. Then in the 2nd half it seemed like we just quit running. And the play that got called back...boy. What an emotional night. Very anxious to see what next year brings. Coaching changes? Kids leaving? New kids ? Who knows.

Well zebras got the call right.we did have men downfield but i dont see how u spot the ball and move the chains then call the penalty 5 mins later

 

There probably were men downfield but if you didnt see it during the play and call it you cant and dont rely on the opposing coach to call it for you. lol

Ive only seen them play a few times this year but I can say I was very impressed with them last night. I saw the Howard game and it was a nightmare. I was very shocked last night at how well they have responded to all the adversity this season. They looked like a very good football team last night and should have won the game. Thats the way it goes I guess, hopefully things will improve for them next year. Maybe all these close calls will light a fire in them and they will live in the weight room between now and next season. That and the return of a few injured guys and maybe some that are not playing could turn this thing around.

it is his second year and i am one of the few saying i still think Allen is better than his record at Central. some others are ready to run him out of town. I am solely judging him on this season for this season, not as a whole for the program. I just see a lot of negative that has to be fixed. i am one of the few that thinks that central has some talent but not the talent that others on here think we have. and i also think we have zero depth, and are extremely young.

 

My biggest complaint is that i don't see depth being developed and not enough chances for the young ones to get their feet wet with game experience.

 

I know it takes time to built a program especially at a school with losing tradition. Central has not had but maybe 2 winning record seasons in 25 years. it aint going to fix itself over night but i am going to call it like i see it. and right now coaching is not where it needs to be.

1st year...........

So how long does John stick around?? Won 5 games in two years and from all accounts has a young team so don't appear to be to successful next year with a young team. So what's everyone's thoughts. Does he stay for a few more years and try to build the program or skip out for something else. If Greene leave Rhea I can see John trying to go home. Thoughts??

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
