Coach Gary Rankin

 

396-73 (Overall Record): going for #397 next week

99-20 (Playoff Record): going for #100 next week

11 (State Championships): going for #12 next week

 

 

Coach George Quarles

 

250-16 (Overall Record)

79-7 (Playoff Record)

11 (State Championships)

 

 

First off let me begin by saying these are two of the best, if not the very best, football coaches to ever walk a sideline on a Friday night here in the state of Tennessee.

 

Next week Alcoa plays in the Class 3A State Championship Game and will be a decisive favorite. If the Tornadoes win that game then Coach Rankin wins his 12th State Championship as a head coach which would put him alone at #1 all-time. It would also be his 100th career playoff victory and make him the only coach in the history of the state to reach that milestone. He would be just 3 victories shy of 400 heading into 2017.

 

Maryville ended another terrific season last night in the state semifinals. Coach Quarles winning percentage is second to none. Last week he won his 250th career game as the Rebels head coach. He has 11 total State Championship wins to go along with those wins.

 

At the end of the weekend next week Coach Rankin will lead Coach Quarles on the overall wins list by 147 victories. Alcoa's road to State Championships is much easier than is Maryville's being in 3A rather than 6A. That's a gap that may only continue to widen as long as Gary Rankin chooses to coach football at Alcoa High School.

 

Do you think that Coach Quarles will ever pass Coach Rankin and become the state's all time winningest coach?

 

147 wins = 14.7 wins per year for 10 years

147 wins = 12.25 wins per year for 12 years

147 wins = 9.8 wins per year for 15 years

 

In case you're wondering in 18 years as head coach at Maryville High School the overall win total of 250 for George Quarles comes out at approximately 13.9 victories per year. It's almost impossible to predict that a school, even Maryville, can maintain a run of dominance to that great of a degree (especially playing in the state's largest classification).

There is WAY more to being a 'GREAT' Coach other than wins and losses.   Thusly Rankin is a 'good' Coach, and Coach Q is a GREAT COACH!   That is from someone who did NOT Coach against Rankin but

What's the age difference between these two coaches? Does GQ continue to coach after Rankin has retired? If so then he has a very good shot at catching him. GQ has continued to field teams that are technically sound. Looking from the outside it appears as if he doesn't compromise discipline for talent. Each player has to play within the program rather than the program adjusting to the player.

GQ is around 48-50. Rankin is early 60s.

      2024 Mustangs

      By 1983 · Posted

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Baseball8 · Posted

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
