TC. Will be back.

When you keep talking about tradition that means you have not won the big one in 4-5 years. TC had and still has good team speed. The offensive and defensive line has and will be again the Achilles heal of this team. Special teams and the Kicking game  went to nothing after Ricky Harrison graduated and the return game went away when Matt Thomas graduated that same year.  It was an issue during the last season that Barker coached and will be the same with the new coach if improvements are not made.  The QB is very athletic and with some luck they may get past the quarter finals. I do not believe they are physical enough to run it down the throat of a solid front line with one or two athletes in the middle. That is what you face in the first or second round each year.  You have to have some sort of short passing game in todays world.  Barker maybe lost two games that Creasy and his legendary play calling may have won. The rest of them TC lost straight up to better teams. The Wing T is a great offense when you have the meat and horses to run it. The 2017 season will be here before you know it and I wish the Jackets all the best.

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • 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.
