William Blount offseason thread

[jake]

WB should go hard after sweetland and give him both the money and the offensive reigns.

 

I wasn't going to be the first to say it, but I agree 1,000%......from what I have heard about where he is at, it is unlikely that he would come, but I would make him say no.

Isn't sweetland the oc for Farragut?

He was......he is in his third year at Alcoa, I think his title is QB coach as Rankin is the OC.

Surely Sweetland feels a little bit stiffled under Rankin's run heavy offense. If Alcoa wins the title I would think Sweetland would be open to getting back in control of an offense rather than teaching the qb how to open up for a handoff 50 times a game.

Another good pick would by William Blount would be David Gentry of Murphy High School(North Carolina). He's got a 64-33 record in 8 years at Murphy. His teams have been in the North Carolina Championship game the last 3 seasons.

You are right about that!

Sweetland's offenses at Farragut always put up good numbers despite never quite having the qb to run it like Sweetland wanted. Farragut was, however blessed with a stable of good RB's during his tenure. With the exception of a few Maryville and Ooltewah games I never really felt out of it with him calling the plays

Has anybody else noticed this about all the "spread" teams?

 

It seems like some teams can run it and get their better players the ball in space (usually on the run) where they can make the "splash" plays - like murvil and Oregon. I saw Campbell county play this year and those guys get the players the ball on the run and they are wide open. Others run the spread but simply run screens, draws, and occasionally throw it deep - like my vols and a lot of high school teams I see. It's like a lot of people love the offense but they don't know how to use it to set up easy plays for your players. For example, last week BC was able to successfully move the ball out of the 4-5 wide sets into the 3rd qtr. But after murvil adjusted to the crossing route, there was nothing ran off that play. The teams that run the spread the best seem to always be setting you up for a play later in the game. The worst looking spread teams seem to always be throwing it 20 yards for a 3 yard gain - again like my vols.

 

Is it my imagination or the red koolaid?

David Sweetland's next move will not be as an assistant coach. My guess, he is waiting on a Private to call, and they should. His talents are being wasted at Spring Brook Tech.

Alcoa^^^

I remember a few years back BC and I  flew in to Farragut for the Murvile game and Sweets had a 17 point lead just before half on the top-ranked Rebels...and kept on throwing the ball.

Browning got picked off for a TD and then Juhlin ran for a TD, Threw one and just for good measure caught a TD pass to lead Murvil to the road win.

UF had all the momentum and Murvil could not stop Purdy...bad decisions let Murvil back in the game.

Maybe. But I know if I was a good coach I would like the challenge of rebuilding a losing program and making it a winner..who knows maybe he has the same mindset.
