Where Has Riverdale's Once Proud Program Gone?

[warrior82dad]

I don't see the meeting affecting Maryville unless things not on the agenda are brought up.

It was not only brought up at the last meeting, its was voted on to bring the topic for further review. Tuesdays meeting should be very interesting. What will eventually decide the direction will be the lawsuit that will be brought by the division 1 schools claiming unfair practices for the open enrollment schools accepting tuitions.

Off line needs improvement..that alone will help a lot...when line can protect, it is cause and effect...ask Tullahoma...same problems with the line

If you all think this coach cares about this program and its delevopment you need to go to WGNS Radio website and listen to Coaches Corner Podcast from the past two weeks where he takes no resposibity for this team and blames it all on the players. Take a listen and tell me we have the right coach...Its time for a change.

 Hardtackle , why is it that you believe Coach A is the one and only coach who can Coach Riverdale ? You must think there's no way possible for Riverdale to get a better Coach . The possibility that maybe a new Coach could do a better job never enter your mind at all ?

I hope they do get a new coach. Why is it you think a change is the answer. I never said a new coach would do worse or better. Never said coach A was only coach for Riverdale I am just against the people who say coach A is not good and Rankin this and that. All a bunch of IF's. Only way this will ever be solved will be a new coach or return of Rankin. Tired of hearing people say the savior left for other reasons other than he saw writing on the wall. Also no one said number of college players under Rankin and players under coach A.

Rankin did not have that many college players because he never met with the recruiters and if any tapes went out the PLAYERS did it and NOT Rankin!

 

Any players that got offers was because they FINALLY got seen in the State Championship game. Not because of anything Rankin did. He didn't even make the players aware about having to register with the NCAA to even get offers.

 

This with the lack of concern about grades was a major source of conflict between us.

I bet there are more players that played in college with rankin than coach A. Also college coaches know who can play long before the playoffs,dang LOD, you know this.

Yes I do. It was mostly getting seen while we were playing other schools that had players that needed looked at. Or if they were up for Mr. Football like we had almost EVERY year since about 1997. That still does NOT excuse him (Rankin)from the fact he did not tell EVERY player about having to register with the NCAA clearing house BEFORE their Senior year.

Signing up for NCAA clearing house has nothing to do with being recruited or even signing a scholarship.. That is something you do after signing to gain NCAA eligibility.. You should know this.

I do to this also. Thing is Rankin told his players NOTHING about the process period. I have to give Coach A credit as he does at least do that for his players.

Who was the AD in Rankin's era?

 

I was at a school meeting (not an meeting for athletes) for parents of Juniors last night and the NCAA clearing house was on the agenda. This was presented by a school advisor not in the athletic department.
