Polk vs McMinn Central

Since 2015 the Chargers are 6-28.  Central will lose the next 4 games for sure and may end up losing them all again this year.
There are no expectations to win in either McMinn County high school in any sport. The Principals don't care, the AD's don't care, and the current Director of Schools doesn't care. I hope the new Director hired will recognize the importance of athletics and have a set to improve things.

What should he do differently or better? In what ways does he not care? How do you know he doesn't? Just curious what coacht would do to win? I don't think there is a limit on volunteer coaches. Idk why we don't show up and help. What can they do? Since none of us have the time to pitch in, that shows we don't care either.. Thoughts?

First of all, don't ever call me out for not helping. You don't know me. I have it from a very good source that he does absolutely nothing with these boys. My goodness, he coaches the o-line and they literally don't know who to block (both in practice and during the game). I would like to know why you do think he's the man for the job.

Did I quote you? No. Did I call you out? No. I said "we." We bash behind a coacht screen name and it doesn't help at all. I asked a simple question..what should he do differently to improve? You didn't answer. Instead you snapped and took offence. Instead of being a part of the problem be apart of the solution. We don't volunteer our time or sacrifice to help. So I asked, does that mean we don't care either?

 

I never said he was the man for the job. I do know football. 6 turnovers and 2 for tds was a 28 point swing and hard for any team to overcome. I hate it for the boys but ball security is their responsibility. Just a few observations..You don't rip the qbs helmet off on 3rd and forever on a sack either. 

Everyone wants to point fingers and play the blame game but nobody wants to accept responsibility or be apart of the solution. I may show up Monday and ask to volunteer in some capacity. Would you be interested? You have greater knowledge about coaching football than anyone on this board or in this county. I think we'd do well for this team. 

Irrational response in 5.....4....3.....2....1...

Again, you don't know me. I never claimed to have greater football knowledge than anyone. Also, I'm not snapping at anyone. Just a little frustrated to know most of these boys, how much effort they give, and how little effort they and other assistant coaches tell me their leader has. Central has rarely had a great seasons and I'm not asking for greatness now...just effort. It's frustrating when a kid gets severely concussed that his head coach won't even get in touch with the family to check on him. Or, when some of these guys see their coach as a father figure, and he refuses to communicate with them off the field...it just bothers me. I could be in the minority, but I feel like when you sign up to be a head coach, and take that little extra county money that comes your way, it requires more than just standing on the sideline.

I know there’s some good athletes and big kids over there, so what’s going on, are the kids just not playing football? are they not playing hard? are the coaches not coaching them up?

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
