Absolute best hire you guys could of got. Interviewed him a couple of times at Powell. I was shocked a bigger program didn't give him a shot before now. Mistakes were made at Powell, but I don't think anything intentional happened and he definitely learned from it.

 

Good luck to Dresden and Coach Rang.

We sure hoping for best FreeAgent. Around here it was a big shock that the current asst. didn't get it, Chad Hodge, who had great credentials and record himself, and "99%" of folk wanted him, but looking at Rang's credentials and all, he is only one possible that could have trumped the coach we had and whom we all thought was a shoe-in. And Coach Rang (and others) will soon realize, though 1A class (smaller program), our Dresden Lions can compete with anyone, any class.. hearts of champions who expect to win and are willing to pay the price to do so. .. this attitude thanks to the program built by several of our recent coaches (esp. Hewett & then Hodge brothers). Coach Rang has great stuff to build upon and take us to the next level: an elite, always in hunt for gold ball type team (like his HS alma mater). After the "surprise" of this choice wearing off, methinks the excitement is truly increasing around here as we realize the calibre of coach we did get. Our existing coach was top-tier indeed, and coach Rang seems to be as well. I trust the collective wisdom of decision makers who picked Rang and believe time will prove it will be a great fit for everyone. Big surprises come in small packages (like dominating powerhouse "dynasties" even amongst 1A schools), which that has to start sometime, somewhere, so why not right here, right now at Dresden under Coach Rang, a"young gun" who has potential to be a coaching legend like his mentors.. why not, eh? Again, the foundation laid for him and the raw materials ARE definitely here to accomplish such a rare feat, so I say.. LET'S DO THIS!!! ARRGGG! Let the era of Coach Derek Rang begin! The sky is the limit.. GO LIONS! #1 ALL THE WAY! :) <if we gonna have dreams and ambitions, why not make it the BEST, highest goals possible?>

It is funny how rumors get started.  I have not heard about players not playing if chad doesn't get the job.  I also talked to the qb's dad the other day and point blank asked him if they would move i

Not like Huntindon, you will still be just Dresden. Just another win on on the schedule for teams that play real football.

Exchanged texts with Coach Rang today. I'll have him on the Friday Night Main Event just as I had Coach Hodge numerous times. Last time I spoke to Coach Rang, he holds dear to him the values taught to him by my friend George Quarles. He WILL be a popular guy there if your fan base give him a chance. You'll be surprised at his football IQ and he'll definitely make a believer out of the kids!

The only problem that I see with your post is the part left out...I said earlier that the only reason to be lingering over the choice would be if the administration had a "target" coach that they were waiting for...looks to me like they had one. Rang has to be counted already as one of the best in the west from background alone, the only potential downside being that he isn't a hometown guy, and success breeds bigger offers. No disrespect at all but Rang has inherited the perfect vehicle to land him a top tier job in a short while, provided he wins and keeps his nose clean. Dresden is good enough to be taken up a level by a coach of Rang's caliber already, and frankly, the only reason that he was available was the question of his character...put in a couple of years with no incidents, make some serious noise in postseason, and the chance will be there for him to go bigger/better/closer to home. Embrace the hire, back the team, and enjoy the ride...somewhere in the near future the search may be on again, but the program should be in a great place then too.

I have told them that. Have known him for 3/4 of his life. Good young man and parents and siblings are solid. Good man for the Lions

If Coach Quarles is a mentor to Rang Dresden has a for real winner in him!!!

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
