C'mon man. Lol 4-6 isn't good but it isn't terrible either. And wasn't Stanton the coach in 05?

To what we are accustomed to at Oak Ridge through the years it's terrible. Although we haven't been as great in recent memory, we still hold our football team to excellence here. And yes he was, but I could've coached that team to a state title.

I understand that programs like Oak Ridge and Riverdale have extremely high standards, which can be a good thing but if can also be a bad thing. Its bad because fans can have unrealistic expectations. Look at Riverdale... They were calling for their coaches head after a 4-6 record last year when he had taken his team to the semis only 2 years before. The team started 0-6 but won the last 4 games. To me that is a sign of good coaching.. That team finished the season strong and improved dramatically... And I'm of the opinion that bad coaches do not take their teams to the semifinals or state, it just doesnt happen. When your team has a bad coach, its easy to see. When you hit rock bottom you know it. Just look at WB.. We had a great coach and we had our best season in school history under him.. As soon as he left we became a sub .500 team. We havent made the playoffs or reached a 5-5 record since... That is bad coaching... Good coaches take teams to the semis and state. Bad coaches do not do that, i dont care what anyone says.

Stanton got ran out of OR more for other things then he did for coaching. I wont go into detail about i'm not like that, but their are people who know (especially OR fans) He wasn't a horrible coach, but he wasn't that good. We just had awesome talent in 2005. If Lussier (our coach before him) was Coach in 2005 we more than likely would've been state champions that year. To be honest with you Stanton had more talent on his teams then Blade did in 2009 and 2010 and Blade took us to the semifinals in 2010 with very little talent. That team was slow as molasses overall, but he took us to the semi's. Now that is good coaching.

See I can believe that .. I can see a decent/ok coach taking a talented team to state. But I highly doubt a coach like Gregory or Ridge could take a talented team to the playoffs, let alone state.

Good morning Merryville jocks! I want you to follow my Owls 2014 season.We have a very good team. We just don't play as many cupcakes as you do in our district. Yes we need to separate from the better teams in our district and if we plan to make some noise in the playoffs. No go on and get your grill started. And quit clogging up my thread talking about much of nothing.

If they had crazy talent they could. It's possible.

Maybe... But William Blount doesn't have crazy levels of talent.. As I have been saying for a long time... William Blount has the talent to be atleast 5-5 or 6-4 "Most" years and have an occasional team that is good enough to be legitimate state contenders. We haven't won more then 4 games since 07.. That is unacceptable... In '11 we had the talent to make a deep playoff run imo and we still finished below .500

    • Hope the catcher on baseball team come back out and play's football . He didn't play last year if I remember but I don't remember much after that wreck anyways.. But he did play his freshman and soph years and I thought was a very good player. He's put on some size now, so I'm hoping he's thinking about playing again.. 
    • Pirates are young this year.  Gordy can sleep on them. 
    • They’ll get it worked out eventually.Farragut is too good of a program to be down for long. As an OR fan, I can’t really say I’m too distraught about it though.
    • I didn’t even see that until you said something, but I don’t think it’s that bad. Yes, the coaches can’t get along with each other. But I don’t think they’re openly taking shots at each other right in front of the parents. If they are, that’s pitiful though, that’s really pitiful. I sure hope they’re not, but yeah, I’ve heard the same thing from players over at Farragut getting fed up, and I feel as though what the coaching staff has been trying to keep under the prying eyes of the parents is now out on full display.
    • and there is definitely a reason for that—more than just Catholic recruiting.
