bigdawgtn Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 rankin is a good coach but he bailed when he knew he wasnt going to get his pick of the litter anymore at riverdale. As soon as new schools where starting to get built he got out before his legacy could be tainted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as new schools where starting to get built he got out before his legacy could be tainted. He left because he is from a small town and didn't want his children in a big high school. As long as he was there, they (Riverdale) were excellent. Period. He also won a LOT at Smith County prior to going to Riverdale. There is NONE better. His record speaks for itself.

Bravey Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Rankin is way more egotistical than George, so he'll coach longer just to pad his numbers so they can't be caught. I don't see GQ caring about any of that Amen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runswithcuck Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 You better hope to God he does. You know if he doesn't you will be assigned a permanent place on your living room couch. Hope you have a nice comfy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ManFront Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 yea .. if ya dont believe it just ask him ...... You must be one of the coaches who couldn't beat him.... Have you asked him? He would tell you the truth. And arrogant he is not. He is a little shy and doesn't say much sometimes. People mistake it for arrogance. He would be the first to give credit to his players and assistant coaches. You are only proving you don't know him. He gets the most out of his guys and he wins... People who can't do the same choose to dislike him. You could learn a lot from his method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Old Dad Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 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 had a son that was a 4 year STARTER for him. Man has the personality of a wooden post and an ego as big as the Hoover Dam out west. I guarantee Coach Q has way less ex players in jails in the state! Ask Coach R if he can say the same..........or even knows or cares! Now the loyal Rankin acolytes can pile on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously you are blaming or saying that a coaches influence on his former players is a contributing factor of them being in jail.. COME ON MAN Sir you are "Lost" You need to look a lot closer at the home this player was raised in before the coach had them as a player. Values and morals long set before high school 😉 Edited November 29, 2016 by Frid8yn9tlites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Coach R if he can say the same..........or even knows or cares! Now the loyal Rankin acolytes can pile on! Rankin can be a real piece of work. A few years ago a gritty Mcminn Central team with a .500 record gave Alcoa a dog fight in the first round of the playoffs. Rankin responded to this by telling the media that Central was "dirty as crap" and went as far as saying that he didnt even want his team to shake hands with Central's players after the game. What kind of coach says that to the media? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
