Going to be an awkward bus ride and game come Sept 13 in Benton for Davis. I'm going to imagine you could cut the tension with a knife. Field named after Derrick's dad now he's coaching a rival. I'm guessing a sell out that Friday night.

And I can almost promise there will be people on Central's side pulling for y'all and Davis. The way our school system is run is sorry. I for one and this is a former player for DD I hope y'all beat the brakes off of Polk. Personally been looking to get my kids into a different school system. Nothing with the teachers they do a great job with what little they have. Anyways great hire for Central and DD will turn that program around I strongly believe that.

Excellent choice to re-build this program. DD is a great man and a fine coach. Glad he gets to bring in his own staff too because lets face it they need a fresh start cause 1-29 ain't getting it done. Doesn't need that kind of negative energy hanging around! 

This has been a big hit to my love for high school football. I wish the best for Coach Davis for all he did for Polk but I can’t cheer for MC. I am confused about how he is bringing in his own staff. I think most of the coaches on his staff at Polk, besides his dad, are still at Polk or are out of coaching. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Who is he bringing in that wasn’t already at MC?

I think it is not so much disappointed with coach Davis, more disappointed Coach Vestal didn't get it. I sure hope folks will understand what a great hire this is and encourage kids to give him a chance. He met with the Central kids this morning and I heard a large turnout showed up. Several of the kids were seen talking up Coach Davis. I heard Coach Davis say he was going to reach out to Coach Vestal and see if he wanted to stay, if he doesn't.... it will be his choice to walk away. 

Sometimes cleaning house is to clean out the entire pantry, not just the front shelf.

Right now counting his Dad, there are about 5 of his volunteer coaches saying they will help. No school staff coaches coming from PCHS.

McMinn County game will be played @ Central this season! Looking forward to finally hosting that game again!

 

Coaching Staff Info:

Derrick Davis (HC and DC)

Larry Davis (OC)

Brent Masingale

Steven Stone

Kim Gossett

Bob Lambert

Dylan Lawson

*Will post more when I find out. Thanks!

 

Also, a lot of misinformation out there. Vestal chose to leave because he wanted to call the plays. Davis wanted him here. Overheard people saying he was ran off by administration or by Davis and that is simply not true.

Heard Burt Jenkins will be on the staff as well.

I don’t think people realize that Derrick only had two paid assistants at Polk Co. It’s a wonder he was able to do as well as he did. So yes, you are correct, no staff coaches are coming from PCHS because the only teacher he had on his coaching staff was Rusty Brewer and he is now the HC at PCHS.

Two paid assistants? No wonder he left. I knew he didn’t have as many coaches on staff at PCHS, but that is really something else. I thought he had two assistants that worked at PCHS but I could be wrong.

Larry Davis (retired teacher) and  Rusty Brewer were the two. All others were volunteers and had work or school outside of the county. It would really help Coach Brewer if the county stepped up and hired some teachers that could coach but that isn’t going to happen.

    • 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. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
