kr1416 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 2014 8-2 played 6 local teams 2013 6-4 played 5 local teams 2012 10-0 played 7 local teams 2011 10-0 played 7 local teams 2010 10-0 played 7 local teams last year: 4-6 played 2 local teams Anybody seeing a pattern here? YES and they should do that to the small schools in this area because they have a bigger draw of young men than anybody in this area (besides Science Hill I guess) The annex has stopped so no more kids. I can't wait till the blame game is done. It the head Coaches fault, it's the AD's fault, it's the film guy's fault. When you get out of this area and start playing teams with the same number of kids or more it get's tough to WIN!!!! Good luck to everybody this year.

If you go back before 2010 you will see that DB went 5-5 in 2009 in the first year back in the Big 8 (with more local teams), but was 10-0 in the last year of the Big East (fewer local teams) in 2008, and was a combined 72-8 over the eight regular seasons before that going back through the 2000 season. And the trend was similar before that. Basically they averaged 9-1 in the regular season and dominated a conference that contained a lot of Knoxville area teams. The local teams in general are certainly not as good as the larger schools, but DB has historically done just fine against larger schools as well.

Tribal you're right, however the average fan only remembers the last few years. Let's define average fan as a 4-6 year football fan (the time their kids are in HS), then they drop off when the kids graduate. Again, I'm not talking about hardcore guys here on CoachT who see the big picture. Therefore the avg fan is going to remember mopping the floor the last few years against mostly local teams, and then last year going against the big boys of 6A and getting demolished. It's really a bit unfair to the DB players and coaches too because to some degree the TSSAA dictates your schedule. Not DB's fault that they were forced to play locals who were outmanned and mentally beaten before the game ever even started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has happened to DB football is the loss of Darrell Watson as defensive coordinator. Its that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazer1set Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 What has happened to DB football is the loss of Darrell Watson as defensive coordinator. Its that simple. But the average fan is going to know nothing about Mr. Watson. The thing to do is put last season behind you and take care of business this year. Back-to-back losing seasons is unprecedented at DB so I feel confident you can count on > .500 this year. Although others on here disagree, I think that overall R1-6A is not near as strong as last year and that plays into DB’s favor as well. It will be a good year.
