Yes..He would be a great fit, was in the 90s but admistration says no. Also I cant think of any reason why Grider would leave South Pitt for Soddy.

[FIXXXER85]

Is there a specific reason the admin wouldnt want him? Did they have a falling out?

 

I remember going to the games when he was coach and Ryan being the OC but I dont remember why he left.....I was just a kid back then ha

They had good teams in those years. I also remember talent "just showing up" from other places that helped quite a bit.

You couldn't be farther from the truth Indian. The players on those teams played at the Soddy Daisy Kids Club and at MIddle Valley youth leagues. I have noticed over the years that you seem to spout off about some things which you don't know anything about. I would love to hear who you think "just showed up" because that is not true

I say it HAS to be coaching. Soddy has too many kids to not have talent.....they are always one of the most, if not the most, populated schools in Hamilton. It's more about coaching kids right and inspiring them to do more than walk the hallways.....inspire em to get on the field. I knew plenty who were great at basketball of football but never cared to play for the school. The right coach can fix that.

Tom Weathers was awfully torn up over it, back during that time frame. Did he not know what he was talking about?

You must be refering to 6 kids that transfered to Soddy from Red Bank when Price got the head coaching job. Those were the only kids that just "SHOWED UP" that I know of but those 6 did start on the first playoff team in Soddy school history so I am sure Weathers was upset but he still beat Soddy that year. When you get a good coach people just "SHOW UP" to play for your school. Look at Signal Mtn. and also East Hamilton they have tons of kids that just "SHOWED UP" but that is how it is and will always be.

I do not know who Indian is talking about either, but chances are those kids were probably zoned Soddy-Daisy to begin with and had "just showed up" at Red Bank because they had a better program.

 

And it is a shame what is about to happen with that 8th grade class from Loftis this year, that is unless a coaching change is made soon.

What is happening with the Loftis 8th grade class is not all that is a shame. Kids are not going to play next year that should be playing because there is not going to be a change. But football is not the only sport at Soddy Daisy suffering all sports at the school are headed in the wrong direction. With the exception of wrestling all sports will be worse this year than last and wrestling will start downhill after this year. The fact is Soddy Daisy administration pays little attention to athletics and it is starting to show. You lost 2 legendary coaches this past year (Henry and Kirk) and replaced them with unproven guys that have 0 head coaching experience (Higgins and Skiles) so why would they replace the football coach with a proven guy. Soddy fans if you are looking for the future to be bright the next few years are going to be very disappointing to you. If I had a son or daughter in Middle school that played sports I would be sending them somewhere else if I could.

Talk about future middle school athletes. Soddy does not even play a 9th grade football schedule. At least one against the other district teams. The reason is there are no coaches that want to do it.That is plain laziness on your entire staff. How are you gonna attract kids from loftis or soddy middle?
