Walker Valley @ The Ridge

Just a thought , after getting beat so many times by Riverdale it would be hard to bring Gary Rankin to Oak Ridge. At the time he was hated (like Lane Kiffon) and folks wanted Joe Gaddis to come back and restart the program. Maybe Joe needs to think about his offense and some of the plays that were called. But you have to make use of the players you have. Like Minnie Pearl I'm done talking now!

 

ALWAYS HAVE WILDCAT PRIDE

Don't get me wrong, I sure don't think Gaddis should be fired and I don't think he should resign. He will remain a coaching legend for many years to come. We all have a right to disagree, but I will remain a loyal Wildcat fan for life!

Dude! I think it's time for some highlights from this century! lol

New highlights would be great! but let's be honest, a good portion of 2000-2016 have not been all roses. I personally could be very happy just forgetting the SS era. JMO.

For sure GVX. I'm just tired of us Wildcat fans living in the past (I include myself in that as well because I'm very nostalgiac about the days when I grew up in the 80's and 90's in OR watching us), but it's time to make some new history! Well, beyond time, actually lol....You're right, though. We did have some great years with Lussier at the helm. 2005 was still a great year, even though we lost in the title game that we should've won IMO. The Blade years we kinda overachieved I thought with the overall talent we had.

Yes, I was at every game in 2005 including the finals. It was sickening to see, with what he inherited, that opportunity squandered to team that was not superior to OR when Ravenwood only ran 2-3 offensive plays and we made no adjustment. We flat got out coached that day. But I agree Sweet, we need some new memories to be created and not just from the glory days. I also agree that the talent was down during the Blade era, and if memory serves, you could see it coming with some questionable middle school talent a few years earlier. There were some very good players, just not enough really good players to be at the level we wanted to be.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
