Who is the former Woodbury coach that was well respected and very funny. Used to go around and speak a lot and tell a lot of jokes. I rode with him to Ga one weekend ...my memory is not what it used to be...Maynard?

Mike Mayfield

He single handedly set SC program back 10 years...worst in SC history. He had some great one liners. He was a great guy though.

On one trip the team stopped to eat and Mayfield went over his kickoff coverage in the parking lot of the restaurant for the first time - needless to say, the opponent ran the kickoff back for TD. SC could write a book on "how not to coach".

 

Added note: He was killed in a car accident - he was on Cannon County's School Board of Education.

I could tell you countless stories. I stole "we are small but we are slow" from him...lol.

Wittenesses to the accident said it appeared he had a heart attack or some medical condition and ran off the road and hit a tree. Single car accident.

That was the year they beat SC at Tenn Tech field. Exellent QB both on offense and defense.

Mayfield went 10-0 at Woodbury before he came to SC. They had Steve Bullard. I think he played at APSU...not sure.

So, I was in Woodbury last weekend for the jr. pro jamboree, and I'll give some thoughts on the state of CC football.

First, it's not a football community.

The citizens, for the most part, could care less about football.

It's shows that there is no more investment in the facilities. One toilet for men and one toilet for women in the whole stadium is ridiculous.

The weight room is a joke. There were hardly any weights in there and it's small. I don't see how it can accommodate a complete 3A squad.

And, the Jr. pro program was talked about earlier. I've seen them in action the last few years.

They've had athletes, but more times than not, they've not been very well coached.

It goes back to not being a football community.

The way I see it, if it isn't basketball, people could care less, and it shows in the pee wee leagues.

A good jr. pro program will help a high school program.

The 8-9 year old coaches yelling at the players was mentioned and that causing the numbers to be down for the bigger team.

I say baloney.

I've seen other teams coaches yell more and they have 40 players and a competitive team.

It goes back again to the culture.

If they don't really care about football, they're not going to stick with it when it gets tough.
