Gary Rankin & George Quarles

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.

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.

yea .. if ya dont believe it just ask him ......

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

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.

That's called making a wise decision honestly. Riverdale hasn't been the same since he left.

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.

Well said and the truth! Always have to be some whiners!

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!

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 😉

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?
