2017 Early Predictions

So you are saying that a coach is willingly playing less talented athletes just because of the club they play for?  So skill and being coachable isn't considered-just club?    I've been around coaching for 20 years and I can honestly say I've never seen a coach play a less talented kid without reason.    I love those parents who blame "politics" on playing time.

I'm saying that both coaches have daughters who play, both coaches are high up in he K2 food chain, and both coaches are ONLY coaching because a couple of K2 parents ran the previous coach who was fantastic off, during the middle of the season.  They let him finish and they had a top 4 finish in the State.  These coaches are nice and kind men.  Do not get me wrong, but to say there is no politics going on is crazy.  Can you honestly say the best players are playing in the best positions, or getting the most sets?

Respectfully, Clifford, being "around" coaching and actually coaching a school, as opposed to a club is different.  In club you pay and everybody gets to play.  In high school, everyone should be on the same playing field, and just because you don't play club, or play for a certain club, should have zero effect on your playing time.

It is def different, I have coached both.  But you aren't answering my question.   I also agree that playing for a club, or playing club at all should have no affect on play time.  It is rare for a kid that does not play club can compete against a kid that does play club.   But what you are saying is that the coach there is intentionally not playing certain kids, who are more talented, just because they play for K2.   I have never one time met a coach that refused to play more talented kids for good reason....coaches want to win.  Not saying it hasn't happened, I am sure that it has.    Part of my push back is because some of the ridiculous posts I have read of yours in the past.  If this is actually happening--and I sincerely hope that it isn't, I can't imagine that coach being around very long.

    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.

    • Correct information on your part Waco regarding your years and wins with no generalities. if Fulmer had not been fired, he would have easily been retired for several  years by now. It’s a new regime at TN participating in the deepest football conference in America.
    • Take your own advice Mr. Bill.  Memphis should stay out of the national news if it doesn't want people knowing about their "business."  SP's classes of '25, 26 and 27 contributed as well.  At the beginning of the season, we weren't sure if SP could make it out of the 2nd or 1st round in 2024 due to only 2 or 3 seniors only 1 of which played much.  We were extremely proud of that 2024 team for what they accomplished between game 1 and game 15.
