Doesn't matter what happened at Concord Christian, Troy is a darned good football coach.  That is a very small private school that tried to start a program from scratch with Troy, and it's a program that didn't have financial aid available.  Troy had no control over who came to the school.  

Troy is on the staff at the new Lakeway Christian in Morristown, who start playing next year.  Former Furman University head coach Bruce Fowler is the head coach at Lakeway.  

Yes to compare ANY school to CCCS is a complete joke.That team had no chance at winning a game against TSD.Troy is a fine coach and anyone would be blessed to have him.CCCS...well bless their heart is all i can say.

How will Cummings do at Halls? I know there was quite a bit of celebration about the other guy leaving. 

Bottom line:  He has to get the athletes in the school who are only playing one other sport out for football, he needs to get the kids who aren't playing football who could be helping the program out for football, and he has to keep the kids zoned Halls who are going elsewhere to school and playing football to stay home. 

Scott is a very good football coach, but even the best coaches can't win if they don't have the horses.

I’d be concerned with him running kids off, not saying Cummings isn’t a good coach but he didn’t mesh with Cleveland. He ran our kids off and nobody liked playing for him. I’m glad he’s gone as is everybody else. He didn’t want the pressure that was on him to win at Cleveland especially at the 6a level. Maybe Halls will have better luck with him than we did. But if u ask me, he won’t be at Halls long either. He’s using them to eventually work his way back to West.

I know Scott well.  He's a darned good football coach.  You don't win state championships not being able to manage a staff and connect with coaches and kids.  

Nope, his Cleveland experience wasn't good, and there were a lot of factors both on and off the field that came in to play.  It was best for both he and Cleveland to move on and both get new starts.  

I get that you are a Cleveland guy, and that's fine.  But don't try to tell me that Scott isn't a good football coach.  His record says differently.

You’re right and circumstances here happened that lead to it, but we are glad he’s gone as I’m sure he is. He can get back to where he’s comfortable in Knox coaching 5a ball

His record at CHS was 21-21. 0-4 vs Bradley, 2-2 against Walker Valley and managed to wreck one of the most talented group of middle schoolers to come through the program in addition to dressing 45 kids this year.  His record at Cleveland speaks for itself and that is all Cleveland folks give a darn about.

If I were a betting man, id say we will be here in 3 years or less talking about him leaving Halls and going back to West or somewhere else. What u think Draper?

Probably so.  Hope he does well there.  Interesting to me that another poster referenced Halls being glad the previous guy was gone.  The Cleveland kids loved him and respected him while he was here.  Just goes to show that finding the right “fit” is important and that a record at another school is not an indication of success at a new school.

Well one things for sure, if Bosken was the head coach, Elder would have never left for Blackman.  But your right Bosken is a players coach, and was well liked at Cleveland.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
