I've never heard of a football team taking fall break off. I've never been around or even heard of that. I assume any team that does take fall break off is a bad team. 

 

I've heard of coaches doing 4 practices and giving Monday or Friday off. 

If Maryville has a bye on fall break, we didn’t this year, our coaches will normally practice Mon-Thursday and let the kids have the long weekend. Sometimes on the break we will even practice early in the day to let the boys have the evening off.

Never heard of a decent team or school that values athletics taking a full week off during the season in any sport, ever!  That is absurd, and sends a very clear message that team and coach has mailed it in.  May as well just take up equipment and move on to basketball.   Maybe the last 2 games are optional this year.

I hope any team and coach that takes a week off gets what they deserve... 

The team loses and the coach gets replaced.

Who does this?

 

Shad at William Blount apparently did this, took the week off, lol.  Please somebody tell me this did not happen.   I guess there's a first time for everything.   But then again, last years playoff game was optional and they weren't allowed to have a banquet.  Maybe it is true?

It happened. I know kids that play there.

    • Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better. 
    • That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.
    • RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.
    • You would think they got a bunch of interest
    • You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
