LEBANON FOOTBALL

[Antwan]

i sure like the sound of winning. i got a question. what good teams dont beat bad teams? last time i checked a coachs job is to beat the teams on his schedule. something we aint done in a long time here at lebanon.

Yes...I think he would have a good chance to win at Lebanon. He will get kids out that are not playing or going to other schools.

I will add this Lebanon high School is a different beast.... it's deeper than just being a coach.     Good luck to whomever lands here

Lots of info came out today.

 

They have had between 70-80 applicants for the job. With about 10 of them being current or former head coaches. The rest with assistant experience.

 

They have 2 interviews scheduled for Friday and are expecting to interview at least 6 to 8 before making a decision. That they aren't in a rush but would prefer to have somebody in place when they come back from Christmas break.

 

They have the schedule all filled out except for one game and they are close to a 2-game deal with Trousdale County for that last spot which would be the first game of the season.  But here are the 9 opponents they currently have lined up.

 

Mt. Juliet

Wilson Central

Hendersonville

Rossview

Station Camp

Lavergne

Coffee County

McGavock

Antioch

 

That is a very manageable schedule for the new coach to walk into in my opinion. You are probably looking at winning more games if nothing else just because of the schedule.

we bout to do some work.

What do you think Steel?  With the possible addition of TC, a 5-5 or 4-6 record with the schedule?

[GoldenTicket10]

Other than Coffee County( and that's a maybe)  where do you guys see wins?

The two Metro Nashville teams below Coffee County on the list.

Hopefully Lebanon gets rolling again

The two Metro Nashville teams below Coffee County on the list.

So you are already counting as a win a McGavock team that beat you 29-0 having only 3 starters returning on offense this year. Yeah OK.

 

Also, Antioch dropped 32 on you.

 

Only the coach is changing. The players remain. Problems are WAY deeper than the coaching office.

Looking at that schedule I see maybe four wins. However that's a huge maybe. Chief listed two and then LaVergne and CC. However, those two are also capable of beating Lebanon. If the expectations are to win four to six games I'm afraid whomever takes this job will be gone quickly.

[oldsc7]

Lebanon has struggled to beat traditionally bad teams. To expect 4 to 6 wins in year one with a new coach is absurd. If you win 2-3 games you should be happy and be competitive in the rest. On top of just being competitive hoping that the product on the field is better so you can have the expectations for the future. I could totally understand if lebanon was a powerhouse, but let's be real they are not and have not been able to play with the big boys since the 90s. If Gentry gets the job give him a chance...don't have the crazy goals in the beginning. Building a program back is a process and a process takes much longer than 2-3 years.
