Any Idea what his all time record was. That would be interesting to know. I don't have a clue.I think the world of him as a man but never watched but about 2 years of football while he was the coach.

I had him 3 years as a teacher and spent a lot of time with him during the summer of 93. He wasn't really an x's and o's type coach. He believed in hard work. There weren't any wimps at cloudland during the 80's. The Landers gained their reputation as hard hitters during this era. When I think of a coach Orr team, I think of vinny hitchew running over people like a mack truck

So I guess you could say that he wasn't afraid to hitchew?

I'm not sure of his overall record,I'd say the wins and the losses are pretty close but back then you had to play everybody there was only 3 classes when I played so just making it to the playoffs was a big accomplishment,he did teach hard work,he always said hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard, he wanted practice to be harder than the game,and with some of the players he had he didn't have to be an X's and O's coach. I believe he only had about twenty plays and we ran them so much I still know them.theres just too many things I could go on about coach Orr,his players truly loved him and he truly loved his players

    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.  
    • He was pretty darn good for a freshman, but he will have a hard time seeing the field at Oakland for a good while, I’m afraid.
    • Dang I feel bad for the kid. I’m sure he loves his dad and wants to do anything for his dad but I don’t think he realizes his dad isn’t doing the best for his football career if he keeps jumping schools.
