Grundy County


Recommended Posts

Franklin County may be a lot better than expected. They will have more talent than in the past few yrs...they will be very young and more speed than in the past...new off coord which will help. Grundy has some talent and I hope they do well. They used to be known as hard nose and tough.

Go rocks!

not as long as them Bryant boys are still coaching.  same ol routine.....part time coaches with full time pay.  glad to see coach tate back at grundy to coach them little jackets.  I know it wasn't them Bryant boys idea to let him coach the middle school.  they have never showed interest in the middle school program.  does anyone know why they are not using the high school weight room?  it seems like that would be the perfect place.  I think that knocks a lot of kids out of playing on the north end to have to drive all the way to tracy.

Maybe he wanted to put distance between himself and the high school program. How many kids are playing from North End? How many from Tracy?

I believe that scrimmage was 6-1. On a bright note Grundy went 4-0 @ fc 7 on 7. BTW fc old Coord had a 4 year average of 26 ppg, the best average ppg in 25 years and 4 games in the top 10 ppg with the most @ 69. Yea that should help! Lol

To my understanding we had a coach that stepped down during the off season one who had been with the Bryant's from the start. Do you think he finally realized he wasn't coaching material and decided to move on or was it for other reasons? If him realizing and finally opening his eyes was the problem I wished it would get contagious and more would follow suit. What's your thoughts?

Someone should have gone after that SP coach that went to Boyd.

Lonnie it's like this, the people of GRUNDY does not like change. They still like the good ole buddy system to be in place. Our athletic programs are in desperate need of facelifts. Yea they should have done lots of things. I saw on our local channel 6 (GCTV) that a board member promised there was gonna be a difference in our football program this year. He guaranteed it! Well, We still have the same head coach so therefore nothing at all is gonna be any different. Look at UT nothing was ever gonna change as long as Dooley was there. Now they are headed in the right direction. Let's face it, change is good. Mr. Board member only time will tell. But after this time and things doesn't change will this be the nail in the coffin for this staff and let's get someone here that will turn this program around?

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
