FridayMainEvent Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Some folks might disagree on Rankin. Some might, but you don't become the all-time winningest Coach with all those State Titles by routinely getting out-coached.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governm Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Some might, but you don't become the all-time winningest Coach with all those State Titles by routinely getting out-coached..I'm not enough of a fool to deny that he is a good coach. He does a good job stressing fundamentals and discipline. Having said that he is not a great coach. He has simply been in jobs where it is easy to win. He plays a 3A schedule with 6A caliber numbers and talent most years. How could you not win in that type of situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you not win in that type of situation? Ive seen coaches with more talent win less. He is a very good coach! Just food for thought and this does not mean it won't happen but Coach Shad never had a win against Rankin back when they were at Riverdale and Smyrna! Just saying.

Having said that he is not a great coach. He has simply been in jobs where it is easy to win. He plays a 3A schedule with 6A caliber numbers and talent most years. How could you not win in that type of situation? Its not like Smith County and Riverdale were loaded........... Rankin in fact only won 4 games his first season at Riverdale. There were alot of years that Riverdale overachieved and made it to the state championship game despite not being as good as some Riverdale teams. Rankin also built a powerhouse from decent talent but not good talent, did not have near the amount of D-1 players that you would associate with a big school power like Riverdale. Alcoa was the first job that Rankin has taken where the team was loaded to win from the second he took the job. Prior to him taking the job at Riverdale, Oakland was considered the gold standard among football programs in the area. He is the all-time leader in wins for a reason, not because of good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
