Warren Co. Head Coach Dismissed

Been thinking, if this was handled the right way, we wouldn't have such passionate debate. Would it not make sense to truly hire a coach who is not part of these discussions. If that were done then , the slate is wiped clean, no inferences that something amiss has been going on. Would totally diffuse the good old boy arguments. The Pro-Childs voice doesn't win either. Again about the kids

It ought to be but it's not about the kids or this thread would not have been necessary. And even if they go outside, the slate is not wiped clean (I do understand your basic concept) as one man's reputation has been unfairly sullied and many players have had their career's upset for NO good reason. If Warren County baseball was struggling, it would be different, but the program was resurrected from ashes and was continuing on an upward climb. Just wrong.

even out of county fans can see the distraction

You are right, they can see this was a bad decision. Seriously, I see you are back at it. I can't speak about other sports (I highly doubt those either), but going back to your slanderous lie you posted and then deleted, let's try and clear this up once and for all. Coach Childs has made all decisions concerning baseball - who plays, how to coach, what teams to schedule,etc. If you believe otherwise, besides being dead wrong, you don't know Coach Childs at all.

It's called an AD who has never had anything to do with the baseball program and ruins everything he has had a decision in and a high school principal who is best friends with a riverdale snake who will probably become the new head coach. Coach Childs has had one the most successful baseball programs at the high school starting with my senior class and progressed from their on. Time to fire the AD!!

high school principal who is best friends with a riverdale snake who will probably become the new head coach

 

I guess you called that!! Good Job!

Well that was his opinion and maybe the negative reaction caused them to change their original plans, BUT it was an opinion and not the untruthful facts and innuendo you have put out there often.

Let's state this up front, Coach Childs should still be the coach at Warren County, but one man decided differently. With that being said, good luck to Coach Powers. The resurrection project of Warren County baseball has been done and put them on a great path. Let's not forget, we were a laughing stock for many years and now we are a contender every year and all signs point up. Warren County parents - try not to judge him only on wins and losses and who plays and doesn't play. Watch whether his teams continue the foundation that Coach Childs instilled - hard work, gritty play, doing it the correct way, never-say-die attitude, being a great teammate, sportsmanship on the field and excellence in the classroom - this is not opinion, just facts. Coach Powers has a good pedigree and the bonehead decision by Principal Walker should not be held against him by anyone in Warren County. Give him a chance to continue the rise of Warren County baseball. He inherits good solid baseball kids, a believe in yourself and your teammates attitude, and talent coming back from last year's team. If allowed to coach without internal interference and eyes, he should be successful - the heavy lifting has been done.

As long as the new coach does what Mr. Helton tells him to do he will stay, but if you do not play who Mr. H wants then he will call for his head. It has happened in the football program and now in baseball. So if coach Childs is looking we would like to have him in White County to set some discipline for our team because he does have a winning record and strong discipline record and that is something we have not seen in a while.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
