Coming from a former Polk player ( I was a freshman DD first year) and huge supporter of Davis heck after I graduated I ran the chains every year till present. If y'all do get Davis I will say y'all are getting a great coach and man. I'm bitter how the higher ups did some things. Hated seeing DD leave but don't blame him at all. Granted it will be hard seeing him in baby blue lol.   I know I rambled on but I wouldn't fault Davis taking the job at all. Give him 2 or 3 years and Central will be tough and a good team. Especially with the talent that's there he can get the ones that ain't coming out to play out there to play

Hired, or interviewed? 

Neither I hope. He couldn't beat McMinn Co when he coached at Walker Valley even when he had superior teams. He's applied everywhere since Walker Valley fired him and no one has hired him, for good reason.

McMinn Central needs good leadership with several of their sports programs including football. Volleyball is terrible. Neither the baseball or softball teams have won a game this season! Other than a good girls basketball and soccer programs, none of these other sports are doing well. There's enough talent to have competitive programs in every sport.

I hear you  there. If y'all do get Davis he will change that program I promise that. And the talent that isn't playing will want to come out. I can't tell you enough how great of a coach he is and even better man. He will prepare those kids for after school as well. Like I said earlier I was a freshman his first year and he demands discipline, hard work, dedication, teamwork, accountability , and he's cares about the kids he is coaching. I hope y'all give him a hard look for sure. Definitely be hard seeing him there but I know he would do great and the school will benefit having him leading the program. Known the man and his family for 19 years and he holds a special place in my heart been there for both my parents passing and was part of molding me into the man I've become. To be honest I hope he gets it and gets the support of the administration. With the talent that's there Central can make some noise granted it would take a a year or two but give him time Central be hard to handle. I'll be keeping a eye on this thread for sure.

Do you know something the rest of us don't? I haven't even heard if he has interviewed for the job. Just seen on here where someone said he might have.

oh yea done deal. He will be named soon. 

Interesting for sure I will wait and believe it when I hear an official announcement. But I was hearing and I thought he was going to East Hamilton to be the DC. Don't get me wrong I actually hope you're right be hard seeing him in Central colors but I really wish DD well and will always support him.

Don't be so sure. Some good kids on that team. Believe they will respond to a little "old school" coaching.

Might be what they need. DD can and knows how to get the best out of the kids that want to be there and put the effort in.  I'm definitely interested in this. Any word on when they thinking about hiring someone like a deadline. I know crappy time for a coach to retire when spring ball should be getting started.

    • 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.
