I'm glad he's here, but why repeat your post or even feel the need to validate things? I'd say it's pretty obvious to anyone who questioned the move who came out on the better end of things.

To be completely honest with you I did it because it makes me feel better. Honestly it’s just a handful of people that it is directed toward. Coaching staff at WB and a few boosters. Really the only two I respect from that organization is Scott Cupp and Justin Ridge.

Why are you quoting me? Someone made this thread originally to stir the pot. They were a Cleveland fan and didn't have any connection to WB or Maryville. I just said I wasn't that upset because it was already apparent that it was going to be a long year whether McGill stayed or left at that point. Plus I was dealing with my own problems that were bigger than high school football.  

I have actually spoken highly of McGill. I have been talking about how much he could have helped us the past two years all season.

Finally, I think you are exaggerating what was said. I think what people actually said is your son would have to wait to be a starter at Maryville when he could have been a four year starter at WB.  And that ended up being true. So why are you butthurt? You got what you wanted. Good luck the rest of the year. Maryville is going to need to play better than they have lately to win another championship.

Oh, and I have one more question: Were the WB coaches and boosters supposed to be thrilled to lose one of their best players to one of their biggest rivals and a region opponent?  Believe it or not, we want to compete and win games too.  And yes, we would like to keep our in-zone players.  What do people expect? You do what you did and there are going to be bad feelings. It's just unavoidable.

Some-not all but some-of the fans of the 2 big dogs in that neighborhood act like other teams should feel happy they’re allowed to even be on the same field.

Yep. The thing is I get it. They hear county people talking about losing players and they feel like it is a slight to them because their kids work hard. The coaches and kids at Maryville, Alcoa, and Greenback absolutely work hard and deserve their success, but that doesn't change the fact that the trend of kids leaving the county high schools hurts our football programs. That is just a fact.

That is just a fact.

And then people like Barneysox - a guy who claims he supports all the local schools - gets on here and takes pot shots at the county schools and how awful we are.  Hey Barney, WB made the playoffs without more than half a dozen good players that were playing at Maryville, Alcoa, and Greenback last year.

There have been many discussions on this forum about why WB and Heritage aren't that good year to year. What I described above is the answer. That is all you need to know. We don't get to keep our players and yes we aren't happy about it. I don't want to hear another out of touch boomer go on about how consolidation killed the county schools. No, it didn't. The fact that the surrounding schools get our players hurts our chances to have success. Again, imagine adding half a dozen or more good players to a team that made the playoffs. They would have made a difference. End rant.

Maybe Mr.MaGill might share with everyone why they left WB since it's all out in the open right now and maybe you might learn something from a parents point of view. Not much to take a potshot at when your winning 6A Championships but I do give them a lot of grief over the concessions and the NFHS. My potshots at the county is to point the finger at why these two giant schools are not competitive. The only coach that has won there since modern times is Scott Meadows but because of a couple of butthurt people in charge there would rather cut their nose off to spite their face as to go get him back and put up with Vacation Shad is what keeps them down and always will. We always hear about the county kids going over to Maryville but you can't convince me in a hundred years of all those new Maryville Subdivisions a quarter mile from the front door of WB that they don't have a few kids on the team that live in those homes.

Well, you just said yourself that Meadows only saw WB as a temporary stop until he got something better. So why bring someone back who saw us as a temporary stop?
