WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITING?

Hello to all that read this topic, I am a retired High School coach with over 30 years of teaching and coaching young men the great game of football. I have over 20 ex players that are now coaching in the high school ranks and a few that are in college and NFL coaching. Over those 30 years I had the privilege of working with great coaches at every school I was at; while I was fortunate to be the Head Coach at 4 different High Schools and assistant at 4 schools (2 schools in which the Head Coach was an ex-assistant). Starting back in the late 70's working with hundred's of great players who got an opportunity to play college and a few in the NFL;until last year working at Walker Valley with Coach Ryan to see a couple of our players make a commitment to play at the college level; it has been a privilege to work with thousands of kids.  Over the years I have had players sign with FBS, FCS, D II, D III, and NAIA but the majority of kids never play football again after that last game on a Friday night. 

 

All this being said, I have learned a few things about what it takes to play at the next level and I am thinking about building a website just for Tennessee football players who can post a video along with profile information for contact purposes to help assist your high school coach in making information available to any college who is looking in the state of Tennessee for players. If I am able to get it setup the way I want to, the process will be free to the players and coaches. I will tell you this; that more kids will have to walk-on or get partial scholarships than those who will get full scholarships.

 

But before I tackle this new adventure for me, I want to hear your feedback, if this is something you would take advantage of and or visit the website to see who across the state is wanting to play at the next level?

 

Again thanks for taking the time to read and looking forward to hearing your feedback!!

Coach Jack Daniels (Retired)

 

P.S. Just so you know I wasn't an English teacher so forgive my mistakes. lol

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
