Amazing how we beat Watertown, Meigs, and Tyner in 2016 and had the core of the team returning. Those three teams have become the toast of 2A and our program cratered.

2016 was the year we turned it around. Was the third year ( I believe ) of our current coach. We went 10-2 that season. Lost  to Forrest in the playoffs in a very close game second round. We've had two really good seasons in 17 and 18. But we've had the same coach. The coach in your 16 season left the following year correct? Forrest problems seem to be a coaching one I think. Sometimes it takes 2-3 years to build up a football program in high school as well as college. Were fortunate in the coaching we have. Hopefully your new coach just needs some time as well.

No, essentially the entire staff returned in 2017. New coach was hired this year in May after spring practice had concluded.

Define "core"   We lost the 2 best skill players they've had maybe ever (jones wild) and a great DB (kritz). 

They were good players but were more than replaced statistically with what we had coming back. According to the team stat website, Wild and Jones had 1060 yards rushing with 11 TDs in 2016. Last season, McClendon and Turner had 1977 yards and 23 TDs. Receiving yardage was about even. Both had less than 80 carries on the season and could have easily doubled their yardage if they were utilized more.

Kritz got hurt mid season and did not return.

Core was 4 out 5 offensive linemen, QB, and a stable of running backs. We had as many stars returning as Watertown, Meigs, and Tyner from 2016.

Awww man, that's not gone be fun. This might be an ugly game. I know you Forrest guys are thinking we got the win in the bag, but I hope and pray that our guys don't feel that way.  I take nothing for granted in the PLAYOFFS! Everyone bring their best! The loss in the 1st round to a 3-7 Jackson team left a bad taste in my mouth that I won't ever forget. Hopefully these coaches and boys are the same way and they come out firing on all cylinders. Blowout or no, I won't be comfortable in this game unless we are up by 35. Let's leave no chance of defeat, lol.

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.
