I wish I saw the same "Tarzan" players you are talking about.

 

#Delusional

You are delusional if you think that Farragut should not have been better the last 2-3 years. I guess it has just become the status quo on that "side of town" in regards to football. No need to worry though, baseball should be getting fired up! Enjoy.

A track record of underachieving?     Scott took a program that had had little success and saw potentially good players leave the zone on a regular basis prior to his getting the head coaching job t

I agree 100% Farragut has under achieved, but I think you are wrong on how long. I graduated in 1996 after a pretty good run which includes a semifinal run my senior year. I went away for college but

Thank you for actually getting this right. West wins with good talent mixed with some exceptional talent and most importantly now with some success - good depth. The coaches put the right kids in the right positions and give them the tools to win. To say that West just rolls the ball out there and just lets the athletes "do what you do" is a disservice to both the coaches and the players. Tennessee came to recruit at several West games this year - but they were mostly looking at and signing our opponents.

 

PS - George Bullock for President - man I miss him - a great kicker is a real weapon

Yeah I still remember that UT committ off John Sevier HWY flying off #7 trying to make a tackle when they played in November!

 

Also let's not forget West rarely plays anyone both ways when many teams do, which also helps with staying fresh and concentrating on one side of the ball. I hope the new coach stays with that strategy.

 

Go West!

Go West

 

Players played both ways quite frequently when I played back in 2009. Going towards one way players only has definitely helped as well.

   It seems that this topic like many other topics on the T has gotten off task. It has gone from a discussion on who will be the next coach at West (to replace the legendary Coach Cummings), to a discussion on how loaded West is with players ( and if Knox county politicians conspired to help the down trodden school get the players), and if Coach Cummings had a hand in coaching these players up to win a state title.

 

    Does anyone know if there is going to be a real search with real interviews with real qualified coaches that are certified teachers or are they going to listen to the players and return to the T-ROD era with a non certified teacher to be the head coach. Where are you HTV when we need you to get us back on task and headed in the right direction to help West find a new HC. 

 

  Ii seems that there was much more news/opinions about the Powell job than the West job. Has a decision already been made? HTV?

 

  As far the forum discussion on how good a coach Cummings was at West vs the success being a product of Knox County School Board  favoritism toward West will be decided on the success of Cleveland and West on the football field in the near future.

Odds favor an inside job!  May not be --------- but the odds favor that.

It's been surprisingly quiet.  The posting closed last Thursday, and I have talked to a handful of candidates whom I know have applied and not one of them have yet to get as much as an email or phone call.  I don't know for sure, but I don't think the West administration has made any contact with applicants yet.  My guess is that they will most likely begin doing something in terms of setting up interviews by the first of the week.  

 

I don't think it's a slam dunk that the "inside candidate", or should I say "inside candidates" since I know of more than one current assistant who has applied for the job.  I honestly believe that it will be a competitive process.  There are several good candidates, some with current or past head coaching experience and some very good up and coming coordinators and assistant coaches from the area.

Yes, there is a search committee.  They have it narrowed down to a final list of 5 candidates and are in the process of setting up and conducting those interviews.

 

As for the talent at Cleveland, it looks to me like they just graduated about every starting position on the field last year.  From what I've been told,there's not a whole lot left, but the freshmen and middle school teams are good.  It will take a few years to learn the new schemes, develop the new starters, and build some depth.

Yeah they lost starters, doesn't mean they don't have talent. It will take a few years to learn Cummings system but talent will not be a issue.

      We played South Side this summer and it went into OT and we lost on a last second shot. I thought our girls handled their pressure as well as we have in a while and that is the reason I think we will have a really good ball handling team. South Gibson will have their hands full with Dyersburg and South Gibson has never beat South Side. Back to what I was saying South Gibson needs another ball handler especially if they have to play South Side in a do or die game and handle their pressure. As far as who wins our Region, it will be must see basketball for sure and like I said I like our team. I like your team as well. Huntingdon is loaded 5 in and 5 out and you got a great Junior High Team. Huntingdon Fans are going to have a whole lot of fun the next 5 or 6 years. Loretto is really good this year. I got to watch them in Brentwood. They got a Freshman Guard that can go. Going to be a fun year.

      After seeing Southside this summer I think they will be better than last season.  Seems that the big three Southside, South Gibson and Dyersburg will be the region favorites once again.  In 2A Gibson County is the favorite in that region with a toss up between Westview and Union City.  I think Memphis Business and Gibson Co will represent the west this season.  I think that Westviews run to glass house may end.

      South Gibson better get ready to battle in the deep end because South Side and Dyersburg will be a challenge. They will have to beat Dyersburg in the District Finals to avoid South Side in the Region. South Gibson better find another guard that can handle pressure and score to take pressure off of Dunn. They need to learn to score to take it to another level. They scored 29 and only lost by 7 last year at state. As far as Westview and Union City, they will be pretty good but Gibson County might have the best ball handling team we have had in a while this year with four guards on the floor with 3 PG's. We have 3 seniors with tons of experience. I really love this team this year. Looks like Westview lost out to the girl from Florida to USJ. Unless something happens they will have 1 player back with meaningful minutes. I know they will be competitive for sure but they will have their hands full.

      South Gibson drags you to the deep end and makes you like it. Tough group that communicates and really seems to love competing.  Union City will be improved but don't know how they handle nights were Moss doesn't go off.  South Side is fast and athletic but I don't think they're as good as last year.  Westview girls will be better later in the season because they are depending on folks that haven't done it yet.  Westview may lose a district game but they'll be the 1 seed over UC.  South Gibson beats Dyersburg for that district. South Side runs Jackson again.
