Well all i gotta say is till we get away from the buddy-buddy coaching system or he's a good ole boy coaching system that we have in place i don't see it getting much better really..sad but true.Not saying we don't have a few good ones because we do...BUT!!

  I agree 16 should be your starter 15 just looks lost unless he's just handing off. It would make more since to me if you gotta beastly "o" line that you would rather spread it out with 3-4 wide and take them on 6 at time and create more 1 on 1 match ups than try to take on all 11 like we have been doing,But then there has to be the threat of a pass then i suppose :huh:

   I guess we just don't have a coach that..GLARINGLY!! can teach the passing game anymore or QB fundamentals for that matter.

   My football parenting days were over 20 years ago so i don't have dog in the hunt anymore, so my perspective is just that of a fan with some insight into the program.

If i were the alumni boosters and sponsors i think i would start thinking real hard about all the improvements that have been made and are going to be made to the castle and just wonder if they are willing to settle for mediocrity at best. I just call it like i see it.

Come on CAP!!! You used to do the same.

I knew we would be in major trouble when a player on THS (No names here) told me that the coaches would only let us throw 6-7 passes in the game. That's ridiculous and dumb to think that would work against any halfway decent team that knows how to adjust.

yea...well i've been beating this dead horse since the south game 3 years ago.

I think some people in the program think this is OK and are just dealing with it. That's an awful mindset for a team I have seen be a threat to even the biggest teams in Tennessee and have now fallen to being a mediocre middle of the pack team the past 5-6 years.

QB You took the words literally out of my mouth! You touched on the very same points that I did in my last post before I edited it and uncharacteristically erased all but the first line. :blush:  It's painful to sit through a Viking football game seeing a team with the tools and weapons to at the very least be competing for a conference championship be reduced to struggling to have a winning season. I'm in the same boat as you are in that I no longer have a dog in the race, but as a fan on the outside it looks like the quick and easy fix for mediocre football at THS is to REPLACE THE OFFENSIVE PLAY CALLER or whoever had a part in putting together this boneheaded offensive scheme!!!!!! But as you also mentioned the "buddy-buddy" coaching system has made it to were the powers to be have excepted mediocracy for the entire program instead of MANNING UP and making the hard decision to replace one of their own. With all the great strides that this coaching group has made to bring the Viking program UP to where it is now, we will NEVER be the championship program we COULD be until the decision makers are willing to make the best decision for the sake of the program instead of settling for what is comfortable. This OLine has been coached up to be one of the best I've seen in my 10+ years following the Maroon Machine. Our defense is legit and even the secondary has stepped up and performed well against competition. We just need someone that is able to play the hand that we are dealt on the offensive side of the ball. With just a QB change you would open us up to a killer option and play action strike force. I'm just sayin.... I'm no coach... but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.  :roflolk:

THS fans, your season is experiencing a lot of the same frustrations as another 6A school nearby, and I don't mean Science Hill.      I also know of, ahem, another 5A program, in the, ahem *wink-wink*, area that has rumblings of the exact thing.

What is it about high schools that they will sacrifice winning (or at least the best shot to win) just to placate a select few parents/donors/whatever???

Uh huh. Seems like I've heard similar things. But the othern has already imploded.

Our implosion has been around for a while, it's just that sometimes you have good enough athletes and/or weak enough competition to mask it to some degree

Evidently programs like Maryville, Fulton, Alcoa, etc. do not have this problem.... they are out to win year in and year out independent of politics..

Should have added Greeneville to that list too

    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.  
    • Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.
