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?

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.

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

    • Agree 100 percent 
    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
