Anybody that watched very many games and saw Spencer Reese carry the ball for 1/2 the rushing yards this year would realize that he was playing exactly where he needed to be playing.  The year before he played quarterback and did a good job--evidently the coaching staff believed that year that having Spencer behind center was the best option.  This year the COACHING STAFF made another decision.  Watching Spencer as RB you knew he was in his sweet spot.  The fact is THE COACHING STAFF, who was hired to make those decisions, who spent countless hours in the spring and summer months and throughout the fall with those young men and knew the overall abilities, attitudes, make-up of each player and the team as a whole made the decision they deemed best and necessary.  The fact is it really wasn't anyone else's decision to make.  And yet, lots and lots of people made it their business and wreaked havoc because of it.  6-5 and a trip to the playoffs wasn't enough.  Dobbs is quoted as saying he is looking forward to being in a community that is supportive.  He hardly knows the truth.

Austin's loyalty to his friend Frost cost him.  Frost just never was accepted.  School Board and DOS took the easy way out by voting Austin's tenure down.  It's over and done with.  Like it or not just move on and see what Dobbs can do. 10 win seasons going deep in the playoffs will make folks forget.

Your analysis of the Board and DOS is accurate.  As far as Austin, he's true to his word and loyal to his friends unlike the way he's been treated.  I'm sure he will be able to look back with few regrets in regards to the way he has treated others.  If loyalty to your friend cost you a job, it says more about those making the decision than it does you.  And you're right a 10 win season is what it will take to make them forget and make them happy.  Not sure how long that will take, but he doesn't have long because there's always a ticking time bomb.

One of two things will happen,  If Dobbs wins a lot he moves on to bigger and better.  If he doesn't 2-3 years and the merry go round turns again,  Dobbs has been around winning programs and most likely was DOS hand picked guy since he comes from wing t teams and that is what the DOS likes.

You all are getting a great coach in Coach Dobbs. I played for Dobbs and coached with him here at Trousdale for 3 years. He will work countless hours to put the kids in position to win. He loves the kids he coaches, but he is also willing to show them tough love by pushing them when times get tough. We really hated to see him leave TC to go to Riverdale. Rally around him, give him an opportunity and you will not regret it. Coach Dobbs has coached in many different system of offense. When he arrived here in TC we were running the Wing-T and transitioned to a Spread/Zone offense later in the 2000's. He will run whatever system his personnel allows. Good Luck Coach Dobbs from all your friends in Trousdale Co.

Didn't Austin hire Frost? Did Frost son play qb as a fr?

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.

      Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.

      I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
