What was the record in 2008 and 2010. Remember I asked for two consecutive years. Also you really can't go by district/region records because they change every other year.

Region and / or district record is all that matters according to TSSAA unless considering tie breakers

the Point that you seem to be missing is what was written after the stats of 2009

 

unless admin changes the attitude and gets on board as far as letting the head coach choose his staff (hire / fire) and allows the HC control of schedule and makes it so they can lift during school hours the ability to MAINTAIN success is impossible.

 

There have been good coaches to come in there and temporarily fix the problem but they can’t maintain it because the admin doesn’t care enough to allow them what is needed to maintain success

 

how do you keep a good coach when he is not given what he needs or is promised?

Throwing a 2 year record out there means no more than me throwing a one year record out there. There were NO division 1 recruits on the team I mentioned. 

 

Why did Emmons leave? I guarantee you he was not getting what he was promised in the beginning.

Sometimes the school administration does support athletics and school district does not.  No matter how "pro-athletics" your principal is if the central office and school board do not believe athletics are important then your program will struggle.  And the number of districts that see athletics as important and vital to the school is shrinking every year.

Agreed and then some especially in Maury County

Not sure why some think Spring Hill can be good consistently.  Since 2001 (17 seasons), they are 55-125 with only 2 winning seasons in that span.  2 seasons with 0 wins, 3 seasons with only 1 win and 2 seasons with only 2 wins.  Huge hill to climb.  

Because the talent is there. Look at Marshall and Giles County. Two similar programs that are awful without the proper coaches and pretty darn good with quality coaches.

True statement.  That entire area is loaded with talent and has been for years.  Columbia, SH, Lewisburg, and Pulaski are all prime athletic hotbeds.   Coaching and community support is what sets each one apart from the other.

This was just a reflection of a guy taking a job that was not ready to be a head coach.  The kids not wanting to play because it was cold was a direct reflection of him not having any control of the players. 13-12 with the talent on this team is a travesty.   Yeah they made it to the third and second round but that was because of the talent on the field and not his coaching.  They were .500 during the regular season both seasons when they should've been challenging marshall for the region each year. 

The powers that be shouldn't have to look to far to find the replacement since they already made him the interim head coach.  Ben Martin is the right person to take Spring Hill back to where they should be.  He will be great for the kids and the community of Spring Hill. 

Johnny hears this Martin man is the front runner for the job, but aint he one of the 2 assistants left from previous coach? Word is Emmons was forced to keep 2 assistants on staff, and those were the guys who went Julius Caesar style on em.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
