SHOULD COACH CLARK STEP DOWN ... "KINGSPORT DB"

Art, it is good connecting with you on CoachT and learning that all is well with you.  You are my bleacher buddy at DB, and I appreciate your sharing the nice comments Bruce Tranbarger made about me.  He is a super person, and he comes from a great family.  I was blessed to be able to coach him early in my career.  He could score on anyone, but more importantly he was the ultimate team player.  of course, we never lost to Johnson City when Bruce played for me.  We didn't lose to anyone else either.  Bruce was the leader of my first undefeated team.  If Bruce, DB's all-time leading scorer, designated me as the best coach he ever had, that just shows you how intelligent Bruce is.

 

Now for "the hill23" who I heard from in cyber space a year or so ago.  I appreciate your comments about me.  i want to remind you that I informed you more than a year ago that i no longer wear that t-shirt you're referring to listing all my accomplishments because even though it was extra, extra, extra large, I had additional accomplishments and i couldn't fit them all on that shirt.  As far as tooting my own horn, I don't do that any more.  I blow a big ole tuba because it makes more noise.  I hope that you can remember all this.

 

Sometimes I like to say whatever is on my mind because I just feel like it.  I hope it doesn't bother you a great deal.  I am not a good person because I brag too much and I am narcissistic.  My wife has tried to help me for years, but I only listen to her about half the time.  That is my secret to being married 44 years.  I am a sinner and I tried to repent several years ago, but it didn't work for me.  I have never done drugs, but I grew up in Florida and all that sunshine gave me a natural high.  I just feel happy and good about myself.

 

Now, let's briefly talk shirts again.  Since you are interested in my wearing a shirt listing all my accomplishments, why don't you buy me a shirt and list all the times my teams beat Johnson City.  You better purchase a really large shirt because it will require a long list.  Please send that shirt to the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce in care of Coach Mo. I promise I will wear it.

 

I know that you are a good person, and I want to share one more thing with you.  I want to brag about my special visionary powers and you are the first person I've ever told about this.  I can see it very clearly.  You are trying to guard me in a basketball game when I am in my prime and tearing people up on the hardcourt.  I light you up like a Christmas tree and drop 70 on you before halftime.  You start crying on the court and your coach takes you out of the game and accuses you of playing matador defense.  He says, "Son, you let the bull run wild, now sit the bench the second half and relax".  Everytime you tried to guard me, I jacked up that beautiful jump shot and said "In your eye, sucker".  I did miss three shots that first half because I got a little bored and lost focus.

 

To All have a great Thanksgiving.

Come on over to JC, and look at our GOLD BALLS IN THE TROPHY CASE. I will get a bulldozer to make the door bigger so you can get your head through it.  How about the great coaching job you did at Volunteer, (the year with Roy Richmond, Morelock and that group) probably had more talent than the Hill that year.  Went to the Regional and pulled out the ole North Carolina 4 corner and lost to the #8 seed.  I never hear anything about the Volunteer years. :mrgreen:

There are no other schools in the state of Tennessee like Maryville and Alcoa. In 6A of course its Maryville heads above everybody else. It's not even fair to use them as a comparison on anything. Their up there on the 10th floor and everybody else is down on ground level.

DB has the resources and the talent pool to be near the top.

DB fans, I think we can sense your overall frustration.    Namely that year in and year out you beat up on all the smaller 5A schools around here and (99% of the time) the only 6A school in our area.    But when you play other 6A schools your own size, i.e. the playoffs, then you lose.  But it has been mentioned here before and bears mentioning again, do not assume that a coaching change is going to automagically translate into playoff wins.   I don't know your coach but it seems that based on many comments from other who do that he is a good man and cares about the players in other ways besides just sports.      Best of luck this off season and we will look forward to meeting you in Kingsport in 2014 vs. Boone.     Actually we don't look forward to it because it's 99% sure DB will win, but we do want to come to your new stadium.      WIll it be ready for the 2014 season?

I was hoping they would put another new parking lot in and take out a couple hundred more spaces before they do the stadium.It's always amazing how smart people get together and do the dumbest  things.I'd still put a walk over on center street before a kid gets killed crossing for school or to play sports.Plus,I'd put a new baseball stadium over there.Basically move the visitor bleachers on the football field and use them at the baseball field.THEN,instead of a double decker,switch the home side and put our backs to the sun with a brand new monster home side.Then add handicap parking right behind the stadium along fort Henry drive for the people that love DB and need to be close.

Wow, that's very ambitious, but I like your thinking.    How about one more item, they link a secret tunnel from the bat cave that comes out under the new home bleachers

Nobody cares about regular seasons wins against lesser foes its about playoff wins against some 6a teams, bottom line still less than .500 in playoff enough said, lol

Nobody cares about DB's regular season games? That's pretty unique. If you're saying you don't want your coach anymore and you prefer a new one, you better be careful what you wish for.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
