Think it will be Coach K from what I was told.

I heard this week they are putting together a list of possible candidates to invite to interview and that they are looking outside the area to bring in someone with head coaching experience and a proven winner. Lets face it, even with the bad past few years and the situation Riverdale is a very attractive position to coaches all over the country. The opportunity to come in and turn a program around is inviting to many coaches and something they can hang on their resumes.

I'm not sure I would say Riverdale is a program that needs turning around. Coach A had around 80 wins and 30 losses. Maybe you should just say to steer Riverdale in a new direction.

Turning around or new direction, I want to see a new guy that can produce the following:

 

1.  Get the kids back out and participating in football.

2.  Develop players.  It should be rare when the team relies on incoming freshmen and transfers to be competitive. It should always be next man up.  Love transfers, they make your team better, but they should not be the only reason your team is competitive.

3.  Get the facilities back up to a level that makes everyone proud.

4.  Let freshmen be freshmen and sophomores be sophomores.  Some will be good enough but it shouldn't be the result all the upper classmen leaving the program.

5.  Hire the best available assistants. Embrace talented coaches don't be afraid of them.

6.  Value strength and conditioning.

7.  See #6

8.  Promote the program. Promote the program and be creative.

9.  Schedule to develop your team.

10.  Embrace the Riverdale tradition.

 

I'm sure there are more and those aren't in any particular order.

Anybody who is familiar with the situation at Riverdale knows the problems here lie a lot deeper than wins and losses. Its about the rebuilding of the program completely which has been torn down. The direction, the care of the kids, the development of players, the conditioning programs, the community support and fund raising and the return of Warrior pride which has been torn down over the past few years..

    • And yes, in 2010 Clary/Scott Monger got into it with a R’dale fan. Well, mostly Monger lol. I think the fan took a swing at him. It’s funny as all get out listening to it on the replay. Scott told the guy to sit his a** down. Lol. That wasn’t the only time SM got into it with an opposing team. Seems like he got into it with someone at William Blount one year. He was an OG lol
    • Nope, they knew lol. He was just one tough hombre. Played right up to near the end of the Powell game like that and we almost won. I think they beat us, 21-17. Was a valiant effort on his part though.
    • No, that was in 2010. We played them in the quarterfinals in ‘11 the year I’m talking about, but we got hammered 35-14. 2010 was a fun year though. Played Maryville in the semis and gave them a really tough game for the majority of that game, but their depth eventually wore OR down, 38-21. Bradley had a few awesome runs in that game. He was a stud. Nothing fancy, but like I said, a mini Tebow. Would keep that read option up the middle and pound that tater in there. He was hard to bring down. Probably went for 195 lbs, if that.
    • Gibson County will be good next year as well. The five girls that didn't start last year are all solid and we have Micah Hart's sister coming up this year. We  will be very competitive especially late in the year. May lose some this summer getting girls reps and trying to figure things out but we are going to be good. 
    • Dyersburg will be really good for a while. Their JV is loaded as well. South Gibson ought to be much better with four really good players coming up from an undefeated  Jr. High Team. Also will have 3 players back from knee injuries last year. They will be a handful especially late. Dyersburg District right there with the Upperman District with quality teams.
